THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Is it my imagination or have the main admins stopped posting too?

No - they seem to have - probably don't know it's back up, or are too busy baleeting and downloading to shout into the abyss. Cheesy

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."

Well it'll also be immeasurably smaller when everyone is finished - it won't have such and such fan content - it will be a shadow of its former self, with graffiti all over it, and angry shit all over the place - and a terrible reputation.  He let it go down for one day, and already there's far less optimism than there once was.

Of course, there is one born every minute, and Walt may make money at it.  It strikes me that before he gets over his arrogance though (still hasn't checked in) that it will all be too late.  He doesn't have a clue how to handle sims community drama - it's not enough to just say "get over it" or "if you want to leave, leave" - that's a quick way of killing a forum.  Fucking over the staff - that's a big mistake too - it would be a spam farm there if they're not caring for it.  He may have bought a big fansite - but he's going to have to sell a small fansite, and once I know where everything stands, I'll be removing my link to insim, and I'm sure a lot of others will do so also. He may just be the last sucker in line once he's through with his management techniques - particularly if everyone is saying Yay! Pescado.

Furthermore, he'll have to invest far more time to stop all those bitter people who will leave messages about "Insim is dead, come to Reinsim" etc. just like TSR has to do.  I think he'll give it up as a bad job.

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?

Oh fuck I was doing that too, lol

I'll grab the community section then, as I can - after all, while those folks aren't as well known for their creations, they put as much love into it, and shouldn't have it used to make money for this guy either.

Got a show and family stuff to do tonight too, though, so it will be kind of catch as catch can.

She may sound like that in public, but the staff section is another area entirely.

I imagine Pes will finish backing up, but for those of you want to do it yourselves too, DownThemAll! for FF.

Should be able to nab the images too. If you get DL issues (other than general server shittiness and overload), go into Preferences and turn off multiple DLs and multiple chunks. Some sites (such as MTS2 and the booty) have protections against these functions which will lock you out from downloading if you're using them.

Yeah, Pes will likely get anything that is missed.

But I think Walt Dismal was planning to "shine" the place up a bit and sell on to the highest bidder, mostly likely another "online marketing and web business guy". Either way InSIM was doomed to destruction; it was only a matter of time.

No worries ken!  As long as we get everything.  Duplicates are ok.

I got Enayla's files, but NOT the images - was going back for that, but since Nixy got those, I'll concentrate on Sgooby right now.

Ahh, Paden locked the thread. I was going to ask them if they were on crack or something.

I did it so I didn't explode like all hell in the general area. That, and I was getting massive sugar poisoning.

This is one reason Insim used to drive me nuts. They worshiped Kathy and Eric as gods over there -- including worshiping Kathy's stupid booby picture.

However, many people really liked the tone of the site. I'd hate to see it become just another Pescado production, because many of those people would be left in the cold. If the same staff were kept, though, it would probably work out well. However, since I only went to insim to snarf downloads very occasionally, I don't really have a horse in this race. Tongue

Guess someone has to be a grown-up.

I'm really not too worried anymore. Everyone is busy backing up the important downloads. I yanked nearly all of my stuff. Insim will either continue nuking itself or Pes will save it. Meh....

It is a pity though about all the people who gave so much only to be shafted by K & E.
