THANKS THIS IS GREAT

I was wondering about that too, but in relation to ad revenue.  It still couldn't possible be enough to earn in one weekend what he paid for it, could it?

Edit:  Has anyone got all of olemantiker's stuff?

This will surely last more than a weekend but one could sell a bunch of ad space in a single day, if you show enough traffic. Either way there is money to be made. Can't beat a scandal when trying to draw people to a site.

Here's a few thoughts. How many visits/traffic has this generated? How many other sites is Google picking up the mention of the Insim sites issues? Will it make the market value appear better for the next potential buyer?

It's not going to be generating a lot of income - if the site is to be onsold, you can't show a spike of two days (with a blank day in between) as proof that it's saleworthy.  After everything is vaccuum packed from Insim, the traffic will diminish immeasurably.  So you'd have a say 1 week spike, and then flatline.

As for other sites - google ranking needs a bit of consistency, and as far as insimenator visibility, it's not particularly high - too neglected for too long.

I got all my crap out and deleted my section. Monica (Mohicantunes) may have me delete hers too, since I backed it all up. I'm not sure this Walt idiot knows where the Staff section is, but he really needs to locate it and start a dialogue with the staff and creators.

Some of the Staff and Creators are going to stay on the log ride, even after all the water has dried up, but I'm not going to push them down the slide.

I dont think he will freak out since I am not sure he even understands what is happening.  He doesn't seem to understand what he bought. I doubt he even understands the downloads area or that the creators own them and can remove them.  He may also have not realized the amount of daily attention he should be paying to the site especially during the transition.  I mean if the only people he talked to about it were K&E and we know how much daily activity they had maybe they told him all you have to do is go over there every once in while and make sure the money keeps coming and the staff will do everything else.

Ok I am trying to get past the server busy messages to start backing up the modding section.  There's some useful tut's there we don't want lost either.

You have valid points and the smart buyers would know that but the current event at hand shows not all would do the proper research before buying. I think it was Barnum who said "There's one born every minute."

I don't think it's your imagination. The staff has been running the site for so long, this bastard was probably told to make his announcements and the staff would handle the transition. I got news: Like HELL we are, asshole!!

How much did you manage to grab Squinge's stuff? He has a lot going back to 2005 or thereabouts. I already got my own stuff backed up and ready to delete them (the MQ computers). Got a message to prepare to post in MQ's old thread at MTS2. I will still plan to update them one more time and test them with Mansion&Garden for compatibility.

Admins, supermods, mods.  Were all pissed and as much as I would like to help, it would be defeating the reason of how we feel. What's the word Im looking for...Strike anyone? Even though we dont get paid for any of that, Walt should have been direct with his intentions.

I have most of the stuff for olemantiker, but I didn't get any images.

Does someone have an add on that will strip those quickly?

Well, if someone wants, and hasn't done so already I'll grab Enayla's stuff - I'm pretty sure I already have it, but another copy doesn't hurt.  If not, is anyone making an archive of the -community- section?

I grabbed all the Enayla with images, and I got most of Gothplague and Bloom, though it wouldn't hurt to have someone else get those if it's not already done.
