Insim under new management!

ah this sounds like pretty good news then if kathy and eric have just screwed walt over then it explains all the weird dns stuff, and it can be good as walt may not be able to get the site back online for several days, that is if he can get it back online at all

I went to the Libertarian national convetion bck in '88, with a bunch of our college's Young Democrats [ which were mostly independants, but we hated the college republicans on principle ].  They might have had me, what with nominating an actual Native American to run as president, but they turned around later and replaced him with the pencil neck gek who had lost his bid for the democratic nomination.

But I did get to mix with a very eclectic group of people.  Also got a button from this biker saying 'Being Weird isn't Enough'.

I also might ad that the convention was not very large....

I think that silly, stupid, idiot, dumb, greedy, sucker is likely transferring the InSim site to the shiny new server he's been bragging about.  If he does that it will be confirmation as to the extent of his cluelessness.  I hope Walt enjoys being the admin to a ghost town.  Once it's back up, everyone ought to allow themselves to take one last look for the lulz and that's all to minimize his making any further profit from advertising.  If the creators can get back in and delete more of their stuff that might be a good thing too.  

I am very grateful to Pescado for salvaging the InSim website. Hopefully someone who is able and willing can take up updating the InSim mod.  That would make this whole episode an epic victory for the Sims community.  Someone ought to make a special victory flag or banner to honor this great moment in simming history.  One we can put into our games and one to wave gloriously on the two InSim mirror sites.

Okay, a single person -can- own an LLC - a friend of mine has one that is going to be the parent 'corp' for our computer building company, once we're all in the same state - which should be after Christmas, since that's when his lease is up.

So, affectively, its quite possible that DCA is Walt.

Sorry this is several pages later, I was reading up on the latest. Most small businesses if they are smart create an LLC (Limited Liability Corporation) to prevent their personal assets from being seized if something were to happen (say bankruptcy). That way only the "business" assets can be seized.

I feel particularly dense... I can't believe that....

You're saying that Walt took over the server and the domain, went around hiring server squads and professionals, and he didn't mind about the AUTHORITATIVE DNS entry? And none of his professionals also did?

Please, for god's sake, tell me that I understood wrong....

[Tabby]

 Wow! Walt is looking smarter and smarter with each passing day.    /sarcasm

[Paleoanth]

Does anyone thing K/E forgot Pescado was on as an admin or they left him there on purpose?  Knowing Pescado, surely they knew something like this would happen.

[Tabby]

Exactly. They waited until the check cleared and got the hell out of there. I am sure they have deleted the email accounts they used with ol' Walty, and have stopped answering their phones.

[Skye]

*LOL There are no phones in Bermuda!

So what happens when he tries to use all those downloads we could not get off the site? He can't really believe he can still use them, right?  And if he wants more from those creators still on site, he'll have to allow us back in, right? Like eventually, anyways....

I have missed a night's reading, but I take it we don't have a new site up, right?

[Skye]

thanks!!  I am waiting with bated breath!

[Marhis]

* Marhis  is speechless

That's too much, I give up.

Interpretation for those who still don't understand:

WALTS ARE STUPID

Very stupid.  And Walts are definitely not smart enough to hatch grand conspiracy plans.

ETA: I love that macro, Marhis. 

[Anyerfillag]

Marhis, that macro is bloody awesome

And woo for IS nearly being up *pirate!jig*

[kenmtl]

At least it's consistent.
