THANKS THIS IS GREAT

So a guy who has nothing to do with the sims and no personal investment in the situation swoops down and buys one of the largest sims communities, which the creators have sold part and parcel without a peep to the mods, users or anyone. Great. (I don't know how anyone could ever trust people in marketing. They only want what they can get out of you and they are horrible at hiding it.) To make things worse he doesn't play video games, so it's abundantly clear this is nothing but opportunity for riches in his greedy little eyes. (Did he really just admit at his age his Mom is bankrolling him? Lollin forever.)

Shame on Kathy and Eric. I know they have friends that will chide me but I wont take that back. If they were sick of the site, there are lots of qualified people in the community they could have turned it over to. If they really did care things wouldn't have been handled this way and there's nothing nice about what's going on right now.  I don't think they'll be back this time. They did this on purpose to flip off the community and make a little extra cash on their way out. This is the way they decided to say goodbye.

Maybe walt returned from his t'day dinner to find a huge defection and loss of filez and locked down the site?
Actually, it's probably my fault. I kinda aimed download scripts running 7 high-bandwidth machines distributed around the globe at it in an attempt to suck it dry. As a result, it seems to have meltz0red, even though I stopped. Tongue

Just 7?

I know that I would love to see Squinge/Chaavik over at MATY. Kinda like how Lord Darcy has migrated over there. Besides, I think they would receive more respect over there anyways.

Rohina I loved the summary at the end of the Sim Wank. I just don't think Walt realizes the shit he has gotten into. Not only has he managed to piss everyone at InSim off, but pretty much any community involved with InSim as well. Way to go Walt!

Cause they wanted to say clearly to the community "Fuck you all".  They took some time and effort to set this up - it wasn't as if they weren't looking for someone to buy it.



Ok, this is what I get for spending the day with family.  I miss the ruckus.  Good internets drama, though.

Question:  I must have missed some stuff out there.  Why would Kathy and Eric have this kind of attitude toward the community and their own site?  What is the background that I am missing here?

I'm glad there is no Thanksgiving here - I got all the gawking and drama. Cheesy

Kathy and Eric for about the last year or so just couldn't give a shit - this is how it went last time they returned.  And here is a statement made after one of her returns - before she left the last time.

I am fed up with peoples stupidity. If it isn't one thing it is another. Someone faking their death, someone stealing from so and so, someone going to some paysite so they have to be evil now, all anyone in this community thrives on is drama and I am sick of having to deal with it.

There is of course all kinds of statements like this on Insim and Insim Adult, as well as a long discussion on SFV which is now dead, and unavailable for linkage.  Every time they've been questioned about leaving and coming back to ask for money only to leave again, they've acted like the community owes them a lot, but they owe nothing back.

Well, it's not as ready as I'd like, but seeing as Insim is um...well, melted, I'm launching now. Please forgive the not so fabulously customized theme. I just started setting up the server 4 hours ago, and had to stop several times and reinstall because I kept getting distracted, so it's not done. It will be cleaned up soon. Any/all Insim refugees, and anyone else interested are more than welcome. Right now, our plan is specifically to relaunch the contest section, but we also have general chat sections up and open, and we'll be thinking about whether or not to take on other sections after we see how much interest there is. Check it out.

I sent a message to Kathy on Myspace. She's likely to not answer, but whatever. Fuck it.

And nice work, Pescado; I couldn't have done better myself.
Nuking things seems to be the only productive thing I've done lately.

I love that Kathy said she was anti-drama. That's (almost) the funniest thing I've read all night. What next, Pescado saying he wants Less Fight?

I feel really bad for the people these jerks screwed over. I hope y'all find a home where you're actually treated like human beings next time.

Saharia the color theme is really nice. Not overpowering, but visually pleasing. Wish we had something like that here.  Grin

I keep getting the lil pop up above in the lower right hand screen everytime i try to access InSim. Is this because Pes nuked it or has Walt Dismal stopped all incoming traffic at Insim?

Or saying "make love not war". Cheesy I was flabbergasted every time she attested that, because she's always in a shitstorm of drama or arsekissing.

Especially considering I first got to know her because she charged in and screamed and swore her head off at Pescado on a site where she hadn't ever posted before iirc.

I'm reading that thread you linked, and I wish I'd known what was going on. I pretty much avoided insim because Kathy rubbed me the wrong way, and also because its "organization" drove me nuts, but I always pretty much thought it was on the side of the righteous. Enayla was there! But the whole "neutrality" thing -- yeah, I think I'll just be "neutral" while my neighbor gets robbed blind.

Yeah - I got here because Hecubus got involved in some Animal Army cases, which led to emailing EA about the legality of PMDB and paysites.  Then, when we couldn't discuss it anymore, its like the AA died.  Since a majority of the theft investigations we got were paysites stealing free creators, I think most of us were varying degrees of anti-paysite.

And not -all- marketers are bad.  In fact, one of my sweethearts has his masters in marketing.  Its not what he does for a living though, and getting him to use his expertise to help me market my skills is like pulling teeth.

My husband does network marketing using the internet, and I don't think he's a terrible person.  (Granted he thinks Sims is a waste of time.)
