Anyone know what happened to katymae.com?

[Kevin Prather]

What can I say that hasn't been said already? Todd, you are an amazingly talented man. The amount of effort you put into each and every work is astounding. Your products have consistently been top-notch work, and for that, I commend you.

I hope that whatever is happening right now turns out well, and I wish you nothing but the best for the future.

Todd,
   Both Chris and myself are sorry to hear that you decided to discontinue your game show software. I was really blown away by your effort that you put into those games both graphically and programming wise. And it was very cool to see that "team effort" by other contributors as well.

Good luck with your future endeavors and thanks.
-Dan

Thanks for the comments, guys.  They're greatly appreciated.

I know the ops will probably kill me for this, but I'm doing it anyway. I used to have this software and used it in my classroom. My students loved playing Family Feud to review. I had it on disks that seem to have been lost during my recent move out of state. If anyone is willing to "help me" get this software, I'd appreciate it. My apologies ahead of time, as I'm sure our friendly mods will put me in the isolation booth for a couple of weeks for this.

Well, I'm not so sure. It wasn't commercial, it was completely free, and it's not like people are required to burn the copies of the software that have been distributed, he simply isn't making new copies available. Seems to me that asking someone to set you up with it is a completely reasonable request.

Contact me via email with an address that can receive a 9 meg zip file, and I'll get you squared away.

It doesn't strike me as a violation of the rules either, and as far as I know, no one has asked us to stop people from requesting or distributing the software (as they did, annoyingly, with Casey Buck's themes).  We'd prefer not to see a thread filled with a bazillion "Can you send it to me too?" posts but a single request hardly qualifies.

I see your point and agree, but this is the first time I've ever done this and wouldn't do so under normal circumstances.

I don't think anyone's criticizing you, and one time and for educational purposes, I'm certainly happy to do it. I think Dave's trying to stave off the flood of "me too!" chuckleheads that have the potential to pop up after this.

Hopefully, they've seen how I handle things like that, and thought better of it.

Oh, I understand. Believe me. My point was that I felt bad doing a post like that and wouldn't normally do something like that. I sort of took a risk in asking like that, but it was out of desperation

[Robbie]

Hey, Todd! So sorry to hear about what happened! Hopefully, as a previous member pointed out, I hope that something positive has happened to you in your life and the pull of the games was just a consequence, instad of some sort of negative action taking place.

Anyway, I truly hope everything works out for the best and thank you VERY much for all your infinite hours of contribution to the game show community. You should feel very proud of the enjoyment that you've brought to our game collections!

Can you give more details, at all?
Hopefully its not the same people that allow bootlegged video tapes to be sold on Ebay with out saying "boo" once.

I thought I commented on this at the time, but in case I didn't... I received a number of IMs and emails from theme hoarders who were complaining that Casey was making themes available on his web site.  They were whining and bitching that their themes no longer had "value" for trading purposes since they were no longer "rare" in the trade circuit -- and wanted me to suspend or ban Casey for making their themes lose this alleged trade value.

When that line of attack failed to persuade me, they had the nerve to demand that Casey be banned for breaking copyright law.  These complaints effectively amounted to "please punish him for violating copyright law because only I should be allowed to do that."  Gross hypocrisy didn't sway me either.

McLean Stevenson: Hey, Frank. Do me a favor and stuff it.

Man, those nitwits bug me. What kind of a life do these guys have?

Does this particular person happen to have his own game show page as a result? :-P
