Was the probability of a backup in Walt's posession definately discarded, could he be trying to re-gain what he feels he's "lost"?
As Devilfish mentioned, not entirely discarded, but didn't various people say that forum backups generally don't include uploaded files - even assuming that there is a backup and Walt can figure it out. Of course, he might be trying with no hope of success...

This may be old info but from waaay back on page 69:

Items can still be deleted in protest and a fuss made if they are restored without permission, but for the time being, deleting anything just increases the number of people who see the rug pulled out from under them.
Actually, all information available suggests that there IS no backup, at least not one that is COMPLETE in any way,
and if the site is incinerated by, say, someone deleting all the attachments, or Liegenschonheit removing a few DB tables, Hasta la Vista, Baby.

Yes, he needs to hire people so that he can up the asking price for the site. Which, I still wonder, is for how much.

Thanks for finding that, I knew I had seen the info before, I just couldn't find
where
.
I'm a bit miffed, as I had been hoping to come home from this lousy job interview to a big bonfire. (I'm a confirmed pyro.)
Instead...meh.
So I've been poking round the interwebz, and found a site with some truly awsome pics, such as mr. turtle and this one:
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u159/kattenijin/lulzy.jpg
Which I find fitting to the situation.
I'm trying to contain myself and not drive you all too batty, sorry if it isn't working.
Feel free to macro as necessary.

I don't think it was so much kissing Delphy's ass. My position on that little sporking was that it was just not necessary. Plus, I remember all the times that Delphy & Pescado have stepped in to help sites get back up after DNS attacks, server problems, etc. Pes personally helped our forum move (this is a while back) by just asking. He did all of the work and didn't ask for anything. I don't ass kiss, but I do have a sense of loyalty. I believe Delphy was giving his opinion based upon his experience as a site owner, creator and mod.
And seriously, if Walt had hired all of these "professionals", we wouldn't have a mirror of the site. I'm throwing the bullshit flag on that.

Can't get into InSIM and reading all the posts has made me late for work, damn you pirates!
So I never got to see any original threads, so a big thanks to the guys who zipped and screenshooted the entire thing.
After visiting the links, I get a "Page Load Error" not that it matters on WHY it's down, the fact it's down proposed a question...
Has Walt picked up his sword to surrender or has he buried it and run for the hills, picture of mother-dear slapping in his back pocket?
THAT is what I am waiting on, for his humiliating defeat. I have edited my account there with a dummy email, what he knows about me is diddly squat

Probably a way to make us pay even more. It's what he does, isn't it? I mean, what in the seven hells is a "server team" anyway? Maybe he banked on us not asking for receipts.

I haven't been able to get in there for the last hour and a half...I'm kinda wondering if Walt might have had a hissy fit and pulled the forum altogether?

The obvious just hit me!
It's Pescado's fault, the InSim is down, right now: he took down ALL THE ADVERTISEMENTS.
According to Walt's alleged logic, a server without ads is only a power-consuming thingy, isn't it? Like anyone who suffered the Great Depression (or World War II, BTW) you need to cut expenses off, dammit!!!

I don't know, he pumped all his money in that site, it'd be pretty daft to pull the plug on it, not while there's still a chance in hell he may get hois money back. Walt hasn't exactly been quick on the uptake so far, he probably still thinks people are concidering making a serious offer. Or what he conciders serious anyway.

Forgive my "compu=tarded-ness" but why is it that Walt can go in the site, rattle the cages, melt the site down, when we can't even get in there to our own creations? Is it because he's messed up the server? Or he's messed up some internal parts so that we won't be able to get in there.
I thought we weren't able to get in because of the mirror thing, and the wild exodus folks were making-but it looks like No one can get in. How is this so? What is happening?
My next question is if I left my stuff, would it ended up lost, or perhaps him leaving it in place. I want my uploads outta there! Yesterday! (But I am able to wait til this all gets straightened out)
thanks for answers!

I think what he did in the first instance kinda proves his level of daftness already?

I was lucky, I was able to get everything of mine off the site last night before engaging in the macro festival. But I'm concerned because I didn't think to change my email to
grilledcheese@cheesemail.com
until I was in bed.
