My personal reason for using the Insiminator is that it doesn't have the conflicts that using too many game mods/hacks produce.
Very true.
I should add a link to the program that detects hack conflicts to my list of links the new site could possibly have, cuz' it would probably be much-needed.

Whatever. I still like using it Pes. What are the necessary items?
ETA: I have the program that detects the game mod/hack conflicts. I'm just a control freak.

I, too, have donated money to Insim over the last 3 1/2 years. It was my choice to do so, my loss. Unfortunately, this makes every free site that does a donation drive suspect and community members reluctant to donate.
I think the key comes down to a couple of things.. how calmly the drive is handled.. How Pescado etc did the drive here was ideal. A specific drive handled calmly for a specific amount. Not constant panic and hitting people up once every few months.
Secondly, where possible if a site has the "donate-meter" that helps no end because it reduces the suspicion of draining money aside for personal reasons.

Eek! That sounds horrid!
I feel lucky for just having returned from the dentist with no problems like that...
You have my sympathy.

Kath, perfectly logical to me. I have no problem donating. I will, however, be more discriminating in my donating from this point on. However, I (as crazy as this sounds) would trust Pes with my money.

Well, I can't exactly TAKE the money anywhere. The Internet is made of antimatter, so if I tried to actually touch it with anything other than my Internet-being, it would instantly convert itself and the equivalent amount of normal matter into energy, resulting in a BFBVFS. Thus, Internet monies cannot be moved off of the Internets, and as such, I can't actually TAKE the money anywhere. It just hangs around in the warchest until we need it.

I tend to donate based on how much I like a site.. I've been a regular MTS donator for over a year now (roughly) because I like the site and use a lot of their stuff.. But I only used to donate to Insim when it looked like things were critical.
I actually think discriminating is a good way to look at it.. and basing it on your gut is always good. If things feel dodgy they probably are.. I seem to remember some of the people were very unhappy with Kathy at the time for perceived emotional blackmail and last minute requests. With hindsight, they were probably right.

Same here. I learned my lesson and will make sure the site is legitimate before handing money over.

Does anyone know what that program is? I would like to check it out.

How do we know that the internet isn't made of normal matter, and we are in fact the ones made of anti-matter??
Answer at a normal school: Because we live my mans perception.
Answer at a Christian school: Because God made it that way.

I quit giving to Insim about 8 months ago and turned off my monthly donation when it seemed to be getting questionable IMO. In chatting with Kathy, there were some issues with credit cards that were bogus and some other things. Based upon numbers I have seen here and other sites, it just didn't seem plausible.
I have always loved MTS2 and admire HP, Delphy and Numenor, so have no problem donating there whatsoever.
As a side note, I would like to add that Insim is not the only site that allows donations by mail. There are several others that do as well.
