Insim under new management!

[lewisb]

Aww, thanks SamanthaS and Armywife (omg, you're here, lol!)  - just rattles me so much when some people who want this place saved seem so ungrateful for the work people have been putting in. Delphy was the first to jump in there and offer to take it off his hands and is STILL wanting to help out with making the forum (all the SMF stuff he's been talking about) and Bliss STILL has the bloody cheek to say that? I fear for future if thats how people thank others

Please don't judge all of InSim members by that post. I for one am very appreciative of all the work you have done for us. Posted it in the Q&A thread. I humbly bow myself to you, for I know I would be ambly roving around the community trying to find a new home. Thank you very much!!

I get the feeling other side issues are creeping in now.  Never mind swords and posturing. I will go on record as saying that while I will not do anything to obstruct your plan taking over the site as is, it is far from being my favorite outcome.  It gives him something.   I think he should leave with nothing.

Well, this ENDS with him surrendering his sword to me. At the moment, however, he needs to hold onto that sword until morning so that he can surrender it. The sword itself is ceremonial anyway, it would be pointless to take anything. What's he gonna do with it? Burn down the site? That's kinda already happening. Ban me? I'll take that as a refusal. It makes no difference what he does, his only real option is to capitulate.

What is then going to happen Pescado, if you get the server and domain name? Will there be any rules, moderators?

Oh I don't - which is why I said some people. I know the majority are very very grateful for what people are doing for the site. It just seems the odd few who filter through cheekily come out with uneccessary remarks like that one.

I had read the previous thread about 3 times and I swear that it was only a page long and Pescado's message was not on there. Either way, I saw it now, (before I had read the comments not to go to inSim), I've logged off until someone tells me Walt grows a pair and decides to do SOMETHING, anything!

Sleep now. I expect a 100 page essay when I get up

Anyone notice Kathy's new sig?  This particular post with the new sig just made my morning.

Some people will always be ungrateful arseholes no matter how much help they receive. Just look at what happened over at GoS when Liegenschonheit borked the site! Pescado fixed it, but a handful of people took time out of their busy "I want moar f2m hair conversions nao!" thread-starting schedule to heap criticism on him!

Some people are just beyond all help, sadly.

Question:

what is the plan if there is a backup and everything is restored to the way it was prior to the pillaging?

[carlydunham]

he has also deleted lots of threads/posts

[AW]

Walt's been online since 9:13 am EST (last time I was able to look).  

I find it very irritating when Pes, Delphy and others come to the "rescue" of other sites, where there is no benefit to them nor reason for them to be involved, spend hours upon hours getting things done and those few will act like complete shitheads.  

Hi Anyerfillag  

So Pescado, any response on your offer yet?

ETA:  Carly, who has deleted posts/threads - Walt?

[Quorneater]

It's gone!  isitjustme says no such site.

[Aarron]

he has also deleted lots of threads/posts

Synaptic sym over at sim oasis has been organising thread deletions for ppl on both insim sites if thats what you mean as well as some of the mods from here.

And some of the posts (2 inparticular) i saw befor being told to get off the site anoyed me greatly. seams some ppl would rather go on about copyrights, insult the "damn pirate" and the "tin pot dictator" than stay on topic about Walt and the comunity.

Fake edit. He's finaly taken the site down? both of them or just the main one?

[coralleane]

It's gone!  isitjustme says no such site.

I'm not going back through 177 pages to find the quote, but I think someone mentioned that they'd had that error message before?  So it may well be temporary (while Walt tries to figure out what the heck to do!) rather than permanent. 

[joan_fontaine]

It's gone!  isitjustme says no such site.

I get a "Failure to Connect, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server" error, as well.  I think the server's just down - do you really think Walt would kill the site without another last ditch attempt to recoup his money?

[Quorneater]

I am not sure of the link to the adult one.  But the main one is saying it's not there.  Unless I just got ipbanned as I accused him of being Eric.
