Insim under new management!

[Paden]

I  let my son eat my cheeze poofs. What can I say, he's feeling better!

[Jojoba]

I don't know, Paden. Aren't cats distracted by shiny things? Or am I thinking of children? I get the two confused alot.

Perhaps both, cats (and Jojobas) for certain though.

You better have proof of such an accusation sir, or I'll batter you with a fish!

[delurks] Just wanted to point you all to this "RPG" summary by Aperture on Fandom-Wank.  I'm daring to say it...it's better than the summary write-up. [/delurk]

Yes, they seem to be behaving much like your avatar.

This is what happened.

Read this comment. 

Picked up nice new cup of coffee and casually took a sip as I went back a page to look at Tabby's avatar.

Looked at Tabby's avatar, while still holding cup of coffee.

Laughed so hard I spilled the fucking coffee all over the desk, my left leg, and the floor. 

My laughter, along with the "AHRHGNGH, SHIT!" (my response to the coffee incident) scared the cat and woke the ex husband, who is sleeping on a mattress in the lounge room (long story)

Cat is calm now, ex husband is asleep again, coffee is cleaned up, leg is hurting but I'll live.

This is what hardwaretoad just posted in response to the discussion about the new name at Isa.  All I have to say is that if Walt had posted that, we would have boiled him in a vat of pickled pig's fat by now.

"What many of you are failing to realize is that, 1) We won't be having the Insimenator hack/mod on the main site or here. 2) We won't be supporting said hack. 3) Neither first two points are being voted on. 4) Neither of the first 3 points are negotiable. 5) Pick a name and vote. 6) If you don't like a name up there, don't vote. 7) Go enjoy the site.

Clear enough for you all?"

Yeah, I posted a response but gothplague got all upset about what people were saying (I am not sure why) and demanded that we show hardwaretoad respect and that the thread has been thrown in her face, blah, blah, so I deleted my response.  I didn't want to be involved in a flame war.

I'm really disappointed with the tone they are taking about the name discussion thing... basically no discussion, this is what we chose, take it or leave it.  So much for all us rebels banding together...  :shrugs:

[giggy]

I really rather not have a name change though, Like Pescado said, get the google hits.

Gothplague!  That's the one who deleted my Simlogical Updates thread

Well, damn.  Makes me wish I had not deleted my response now.

ETA: she has now locked the thread for comments.  Nice.

[Xuriel]

And now they locked the thread!

[Bellawillow]

And the way they just handled that means I won't be hanging out on either the new IS or ISA... another Walt or four I don't need.

[Devilfish]

And now they locked the thread!

I know, it's hilarious!  

New era, your choice! Only... you know, not.

Honestly though, there were some rather harsh posts in that thread, but I really didn't spot any malice until hardwaretoad got his Walt on. I thought we were just having fun, but apparently the 'discussion' was lock-worthy. I never was a member of Insim before this and I sort of looked forward to becoming one now, but this? This is just weird.

I suppose we should wait until the dust settles and everyone has taken their chill pills. This has been very hard on a lot of people, especially the mods. But that was just too harsh.

[Paden]

Bella, may I ask how long you've been a member? I'm honestly curious, because I'd not seen you since all this blew to hell. We're stressed to the max trying to get all of this up and off of the ground for people to enjoy and tempers are beginning to fray.

she didn't delete your update thread on purpose, we had a clean up and more got caught up than should have, it's not personal

it's in hand ... please, don't give up on it just yet

HWT is doing it wrong.  Why not run everyone off from the new site, too?  Perfect, just perfect.   Just for future info, HWT does not have all the facts at this point.  

You cannot please everyone.  Don't try.  Hold the poles, go with the winner, everyone be happy, creators post their beautiful creations and let's move pass this bullshit already.

And just to give my opinion, I'd like Simbio vs. Simbiosis.  However, I don't give a damn either way.  You going to fuck around so long that people are going to give up and get pissed.  You will lose creators to other sites.  And you will lose your community base by acting like an ass.

I now need another beer......
