Long time lurker,first time poster here. I voted burn it.I figure between the combined efforts of all the people backing stuff up and then pescado doing his thing most everything if not all is backed up somewhere.The only issue I would have is the legality and the moral side of this.If its illegal then don't do it it's not worht getting in trouble with the law over this.The moral side even tho everyone here is pirate like to crash and burn just because you can just doesn't sit well with me.In a way I think it cheapens/lessens PMBD because its one thing to be right morally to take a stand against paysites for their illegalness and another side to knowingly and willfully destroy another site. I am sure I am not explaining this well at all.It just seems to contradict itself.However if burning is the only way to have any chance at saving anything then burn away (aside from legal issues).

Agree with Katzen. TSR antics are disgusting, if we're doing the same thing even for a cause we think is good, we're no better.

Alternatively, someone can volunteer to put the site in maintenance mode.

Pes, I don't think any of our admins had that power. They had to practically beg Kathy to do shit, cause she limited farting room at times! I will see if any of the ones at Oasis can do it, but if they can't, I still don't want to sink to the level of T$R about destroying a site. Yes, I want a Walt-free site, but no, I don't want to sacrifice my morals to destroy the site. Get the data and run, fine and dandy. Get the data and burn it? No.

Well, I have an idea, but I don't know if it would work. It all depends on Walt, but let's say, for evil's sake, that Walt is too busy finding Nemo to kill the site once the work/school weeks starts. So he goes on InSim, and notices a lot of ranting and raving and panic - he gets panicked.
Luckily for him, there are so many helpful people here who have accounts on InSim, who can tell him to stay calm, everything's fine... don't kill the site, just give it a few days and it will all work out. No reason to close anything down - we're all behind him %100 percent now.
Until Pescado finishes up, that it is. I wouldn't even dare to guess how big the explosion will be after that. This is all theoretical, of course, but I happen to like the underhandedness of it - Lord knows that deceit goes hand-in-hand with InSim, now.

Get the data and burn it? No. Did Walt make it explicit whether or not one would have to donate to download? I have read so many pages on the whole thing I'm a little confused on that part. But if he does intend to sell others' creations... Hmm.

That's nice. But everyone who logs in is making this harder, if I understand correctly.

I don't think it's easy, but is there any reason to rush, besides Walt possibly stopping it? I'm guessing Walt is a doofus who won't be able to figure out what's going on. Even if he does, I don't really think melting the site would do any positive good. Yes. If the process is not completed relatively soon, the dumps will become inconsistent with the rest of site content and we'll have to start over.
