Questions for admin - Chris, Nico, Carrie, Joey Friday 22/8/08 2pmGMT

1. (For Nico/Carrie/Joey) Is there anything being done about the cred cheats? And if so, what? From the looks of things people still seem to be getting away with it .
2. (For Carrie since she made the announcement about IPs etc) I know that people who use different computers but use the same router have the same IP, but what of those who use internet cafes or are under a network? For instance, my Uni campus uses a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and I know some things like Megaloader which limits downloads per user per day treats the thousands of users on my campus as the same user, does that mean that we all have the same IP?
3. Chris, there seems to be a little bit of confusion over the boards about the 'update'. Will we be in-sync with the French site or will we be completely different? (but still shiney and new). If we're going a different direction will we still get some of the French things like the extra hair styles and make-up etc?


No we will never be the same as the French site. We were working towards that and expected it to happen by mid July. But at the last minute we couldnt agree on how to run the sites and how to move forward together. So we had no choice but to reluctantly start again on our own. It was most annoying and frustrating. Nico was swearing that day - its a good I can't speak French!
That said we are still freinds with them and work together on some points but we have our own plans and designs coming now.




Thanks.

Hi, Annabelle Ablewood was banned yesterday for starting a topic discussing the genetic compatibility of  human and ape DNA, the topic name was something like "can apes and humans interbreed". He deliberately specified that this discussion concerned only the genetic compatibility, not biological.

The topic was labelled "disgusting" and closed and Annabelle Ablewood was banned without warning for no reason.
He then did something he has apologized for, he created new accounts. He only used these to talk on the forum as he would normaly, not to disrupt or cause "drama" or anything else. A mod saw his posts on one thread and threatened to delete the whole thread if he posted again. It was a large thread which many people posted on, so he did not post again because he knew it would be unfair on the others who posted there if their thread were deleted.

After this however, he received a PM telling him his account will be permabanned and his ISP contacted.

We at the Diddlyroach Appreciation Society are missing  Annabelle as he was a founder of the DAS, and a very active member of the DAS.

Considering the harsh circumstances surrounding his banning, and taking into account his apology, can we look forward to seeing Annabelle unbanned and posting again soon?

Thanks, Carcrash.



As far as I am aware this has been well and truly sorted out. Its very difficult for the mods to ge the balance right. Of course we want to encourage a bit of dynamic conversation about controversial and edgy topics. Miss Bimbo is edgy. Its fun and cool and so we should not stop such conversations. However as soon as there are some edgy topics you can guarantee the mods will get lots of messages asking them to remove it from bimbos whom dont like it. They (mods) do their best to get the balance right. Annabelle please keep up your interesting topics and everyone else please enjoy them considerately.

I have no idea what time that is in EST!

Nico - there was recently a petition sent to you via both email and snail mail. Can you confirm whether or not you received this and if so do you have any thought to share regarding it?

1. What are the things that you like to read most about from your users in the forums? Do you have any threads that you remember or that stick out for any certain reason?

I love it when I see threads started by soemone asking a question and then they get a lovely response by caring people providing great links. There was one thread about depression started and the responses were lovely. It was heart warming to read them!

http://www.missbimbo.com/forum/t58710,1 … ssents.htm

this is great stuff and what Miss Bimbo is all about.





2. When the site first started, did you know most of the original members and were you close with them..like did you post in the forums and stuff a lot? I'm recently new to the site so I always wondered that.. and as the site grew and got more press coverage, did it get harder to stay involved in the community as much.

Well Nico started the site so I will leave to him! Actually he will be late replying to these questions as he is very busy changing the designs and getting them up asap!





3. Is there anything you regret in the building of missbimbo (such as partnering with certain people or so on) or do you see it all as lessons learned?

No there is no points having regrets. We learn new things every day!







thanks for doing another Q and A sess. I missed the last one I was on vacation in Cape Coddddd !! haha

My original first question regarding informal contests being longer has been answered and activated with the Mod contests, very cool!  Now I have to think of another question!

1. If you were able to instantly change one thing about the Miss Bimbo game to make it the way you want it, what would that thing be?  (for all 4 of you to answer!)

2. Recently I viewed a 'remake the birthday dress' contest.  Some of the redesigns were AMAZING!!!!  It would be pretty awesome to be allowed to submit redesigns for submission into the game at Nine's.  Would that be too difficult?  It would be neat for your design to be added to Nine's as a prize, for a limited time only, perhaps.

3.  Would you be able to tell us every week or every other week, (you pick, but be consistent!) during your weekly 'update' the current timeline for syncing us with ma-bimbo or making it super-extra-cool, way cooler than ma-bimbo?  It is frustrating to not know and I believe that keeping everyone aware of the base timeline would keep things calm around here.

Nico - I am always curious to hear where people got the inspiration for their names from and I'm curious are you a huge Mario fan? Or does Koopa mean something in French?

Chris, Carrie, and Joey, please feel free to answer the same question about your own names. Where did your inspiration come from? Or are you, like me, devoid of original thought?

Edited for grammar.

1. I noticed that when threads have been closed or when someone was banned it's been mentioned that it's for the "best of the community." Would you ever consider giving the "community" more input on deciding such things?



2. I personally have never been harassed by a mod, but if someone has been harassed what are their options? Considering they do have proof of the harassment what would the consequences be for the offending mod?

Thank you for reading my question.

I'd like to know how I can report harassment and unprofessional language from a MOD.
I'm personally offended by the actions and words of a MOD.

I am asking a question on behalf of my 11 year old daughter, as rightly so she has limited access to the forums.
She would like to know if Bimbo's of her age will be allowed enter contests, or if there could be a seperate contest for the younger players.

Thanks
Jess

In the new designer's introductory post, he says that is no longer possible for Miss Bimbo to have the updates Ma Bimbo has. Why is this? How different a route will this game take? Also, what is meant by the current clothes being "redesigned"?

Will we be able to have more than one pet in the future?
