But there's one key thing that differentiates such attackers, which are very common and have hit sites, but the ATTACK PROFILE is different. 12 year old l33t h4xx0r d00dz don't steal account information from databases and then strike back at people who have expressed anti-TSR sentiments. 12s will just vandalize your site, wipe your database, and run off to brag to their friends about it. Happens all the time, even in this community. Sometimes people blame TSR for that, but I always have rejected such claims, as the attack profile does not match that of a targeted move.
So very true. It's not like PMBD has it's own personal army of hackers out to destroy TSR. in fact, it doesn't need one as TSR is doing a good job itself.

True, and even if, for a moment we were to believe that Coconut's screenshots were faked, there's a few minor problems. One, the metadata for the screenshots show them as originating from different hardware. This makes sense because they were capped by different people on different PC configurations. Two, if Coconut was faking every single screenshot she had posted on her blog, then she'd have no time whatsoever to do her day job, and she would need several PCs to make sure it looks like all the screen caps came from different configurations. Plus, it would mean she would have to fake the personalities of the people writing those posts to keep them consistent. Now, unless she's a writer in real life, there is no way she could maintain the same level of stupidity and imagination that goes on in those conversations she had posted unless they came from TSR itself

Not only that, I know one of the subscribers they were trashing in the screencaps and spoke to her about it. Kinda hard to fake actual people with unusual domains/email.

That's a great post SoggyFox but I don't think the Maxoids are the ones getting paid off-if there's enough cash being raked in at TSR for Thomass to build a second home, there's enough to grease the palms of a few higher ups who tell the Maxoids what to do. I suspect they've been instructed to delete threads critical of TSR and they're not doing it solely on their own.

Pescado, seriously I think it's a bad idea to even suggest it.  A large number of InSim users will think you are seriously proposing to give money to this guy and the "donations" will come streaming in like obedient sheep.   I think the irony will be above the heads of a large proportion of people.

If that's the case then Option 3 is the way to go.

So, I am a lurker here but my opinion (for what it's worth) is that Walt was misled by Kathy and Eric and they sold him the site, misrepresenting what he was getting. They should give him back what he paid for it, not the community. But until he's forthcoming regarding the terms and conditions of the sale, we should proceed as Pescado has planned.

I'm a lurker here and the Insim sale is really distressing.

I got this when I logged in just now (after several "Server Busy" messages"):



Not wasting any time, is he?
