THANKS THIS IS GREAT

saraswati, the reason that I don't allow guests into my site is because I'm anal-retentive and some members would forget to log in, so I was getting "Guest" posts all over the site, with no way of knowing who said what.  I'm sure there's a way I could fix this better, but I needed a quick fix for it.  But I will look into a better solution.

~ Syn

Hey Syn

I'd suggest going to a two-teired thing.. Maybe having a spot that's open to guests that just for downloads only, or a preview gallery? People probably just want to be able to see what they're going to download or get an idea of what's on offer before they log in.. I actually checked out your stuff on MTS and liked the look of it. But like many others I'm often horribly busy (in my case running Reclaim Your Game and creating for Skadi) and I don't have time to commit to posting on another forum just to get downloads.

I will also mention that I can't speak for Skadi or what she'd offer an individual person.. but she's set up free subdomains for people before if she gets on well with them. And our hosting on Sublime is set up for the next two and a half years, so it ensures a site is up for a long time. And you can ask Cala and Hec about what kind of host Skadi is if you want to check things out first..  Wink And we've also got a nice, friendly site if people decide they want to talk to Skadi about maybe just uploading their stuff to Sublime..

What I'm comforted about is that all of the people who're leaving Insim at the moment will have multiple options to find new homes or places to share their stuff.. it's a disaster but it shows we've still got a good, strong community even at this point. Smiley

Kath

Just to add to the sublime offer, we also have a few spare free sub domains and can assist in helping people who need a new home. (Either on a sub domain, the main site or the forum). Our hosting is paid up for another 9 months or so and I am saving up myself for next years hosting and will have the funds prior to it becoming an issue. If anyone wants our help just speak to me, HugeLunatic or Dinad.

Sorry all of you are going through this Sad

Slightly off-topic: My grandfather and uncle are both named Walt. Grandpa is a retired lawyer and uncle is a farmer. They are both gigantic douche bags.

Straw poll here:

What would people say to an alternate copy of Insim, only with a few slight differences, such as, say, different domain, being ruled by me, and having 100% less Walt?

Just to answer a question earlier - while I am interested in getting InSim, I'm not going to pay a ton of money for it.  My current estimate of what Kathy and Eric sold it for is somewhere between $5k and $10k and quite frankly I don't think the site is worth that in money terms.  While I know I may have annoyed some insim people by saying that, I also know that the community as a whole would probably go "Err, what? HOW MUCH?!" if they where asked to foot some of that bill.  I guess if you include the community and everything too then it could be worth that theorectically - but I don't like putting monetary value on a *fansite* - it just doesn't seem right.  (Yes I know thats a bit contradictory but I guess it's more of a "I don't like putting THAT much monetary value on a fansite")

Well, a lot of people are already accustomed to living under my shadow as it is. But hey, there are drawbacks to it. It is also one of several warplans currently being kicked around.

That would be fine with me - but it's the creators that really matter.  Also, the 12s are scared of you, and may choose different chat forum alternatives rather than taking the chance of being harangued.

As you can see by my username I'm all for 100% less Walt. I'm one of the recently shit on mods over there and I can't express how pissed I am, not so much at Walt because he's just a fudipshit trying to make a quick buck that was sold a white elephant by K & E. My real complaint is them and how they said nothing to my knowledge to anyone and just waltzed, if you'll pardon the expression.

Yeah, I'm not so fond of 12s either. My plan would just be to have the surviving staff elect a deputy and then let them do their thing, much like the other sites I own now. I might occasionaly deign to show up and demand a sacrifice. But as a whole, I am pretty disinterested.

I think it would be the greatest satire of all time.  I don't know if it would be the best thing to happen to the community, but very entertaining nonetheless Smiley

Or maybe Pescado would show us he is capable of being sort of normal in some contexts?

Edit:  Yep - see Pescado's post that nipped in just before this.

I think if you made it clear that you were just going to set it up and be as hands off as you are now (apart from dropping in to call them buttmonkeys if they break something) I think there would be wholehearted interest - and if Walt sees that all is lost to your mirror, he may just sell it to Delphy at a heavily discounted price. Cheesy

I lolled at it when I saw it in the latest member thingie.  Sorry Kathy and Eric are dicks.  Tongue

It would get the thumbs up from me.

I've lurked here forever on many a night reading various threads and laughing my ass off at times but learning a hell of a lot about the community at large at the same time. I know you don't take kindly to noobs in the ol' pirate's den so I've always been hesitent but as this topic here has really got my blood to boiling I thought that there was no time like the present.

I wouldn't be against a plan like you're describing Pescado but I certainly can't speak for any other staff there. Now, with the servers "meltz0red" it's going to be pretty damn hard to get any kind of word out to some of the fellow staff or members that may be sympathetic to that option. The worst part of the whole thing is that I know creators/staff that were trying to get items of their own off of both site to make backups of their creations that now can't get to them.

Yes we hate n00bs but not Newbs. There's a difference.  Grin You don't post like a n00b, that's all that matters.  Wink

And now you know exactly why the servers are meltz0red. It's like a bank run.
