Insim under new management!

[Pescado]

Lots of blind, panicked fumbling. And now he's melted the server AGAIN.

[Yaardarm Monkey II]

As to the question 'Is Insim a paysite?', the answer is "no, not right now."

So one would ask 'Will Insim be a paysite?', the answer is "you better believe it!"


In Walt's own words:

Do I intend to pay myself for what I actually do to help the site prosper and flourish?

Sure.

Nor do I want to limit such distributions to myself.

Actually, in the long run, I forsee reinvesting most income directly into the site, and that very definitely includes the idea of paying people to make the site better.

[Ali]

and you can imagine what our thoughts were on THAT little gem

the staff are there because they love doing what they do, not in the hopes of getting money out of it

[Anyerfillag]

Some people will always be ungrateful arseholes no matter how much help they receive. Just look at what happened over at GoS when Liegenschonheit borked the site! Pescado fixed it, but a handful of people took time out of their busy "I want moar f2m hair conversions nao!" thread-starting schedule to heap criticism on him!

Some people are just beyond all help, sadly.

This be the 'I want Khan pants now!' thread, or did they slag him off elsewhere? Seemed so stupid that people got their knickers in a twist when Liegen didn't say he was in the wrong or did anything about it

And when are we getting a response from Walt over all this?

[Lowell]

Taking a mini-step out of my lurking (and most likely promptly running back to it as soon as I post this).

The next few sentences after what you quoted also reek of TSR, Yaardam. He mentioned wanting to provide "benefits" for the mods (and it's implied to the creators, as well) off of the profits he wants to make off of a "voluntary donation program" and ad revenue.

I'm also really baffled by the person who seems to be defending Walt's position and attacking everyone who was trying to do something to help the community in all of this...

I go to bed and 20 pages pop up.  I know sleep is for the weak, but I'm currently weaker than usual because I've had a cold since Monday that I'm trying to get over.   

I am not sure of the link to the adult one.  But the main one is saying it's not there.  Unless I just got ipbanned as I accused him of being Eric.

LOL  You live up to your nickname.

ETA:  I wonder if E&K are lurking around and watching this.  Something for them to get off on together as a couple.

[Paleoanth]

Oh yeah, this was all going to be another TSR.  I have no doubt.

BTW, did anyone get a hold of Enayla?  And did I not see Warlokk post someplace? Why is his stuff still up?  I don't care about the insimenator as a hack, but I would love to see Enayla, Warlokk and Squinge's stuff down.

Enayla, I don't know, but Warlokk has posted here and at the Oasis (I think). Maybe he doesn't know about the revolution yet?

[jsalemi]

I managed to briefly get into insim, and warlokk's stuff is gone from there now.  Just a bunch of empty threads left behind, blowing in the wind.

[Devilfish]

Okay, who did this?

That thread in particular, but I remember there being a couple of snidey comments elsewhere on the site too.

[scarecrow]

Have you guys seen this? 



Edit: I see Devilfish noticed it as well. It's gothplague's work, by the look of the edits.

First of all, and this is in reference to something waaaaay back there already (?) ... I agree with Delphy, for the reasons Inge mentioned. 'Nuff with that for me. I'm starting to sound like a Sim site "dittohead".

Secondly, if one wants an e-mail still on the site to see what Walt will be up to, but doesn't want the spam, there are some good e-mail services that provide you with a truly disposable address. www.spammotel.com is one of them. In this one, you specify how many e-mails you'll tolerate from Walt, then the address is dead. Period. Walt can spam you with a hundred more e-mails. It won't matter.

There are other services like these that act a bit differently. Spamgourmet and sneakemail come to mind, but I know there are others. I've used both of these, too. I've done the disposable route with Yahoo, as well. You set up a proxy address, then get rid of the address when you have no more use of it.

This one looks pretty good. I haven't used it, but I DO like how your "disposable" address is in the reply line:

http://email.about.com/cs/dispaddrrevs/gr/emailias.htm

And of course, there is the older method of taking out a e-mail address unique to Insim only, and seeing if you DO get spammed. If you do, well, no great loss. Get rid of the account.

So it may not be necessary to kill your e-mail addies, if you are reluctant to do so. But changing them in case you get e-mail from "third parties" and "partners" isn't a bad idea.

They must be in the middle of the burning, because the Female Bodyshape Variety Project still has files.

LOL, LOL! Ok, who got into their accounts - was it you Gothplague *hinthint at the last edited by name*

It wouldn't surprise me uknortherner - people always take him too seriously; yes, he may seem like a harsh bastard but he's all nice and fluffy under that hard exterior
