Maybe it's Improper to ask this Here,
but is the insimenator.org for real or some kind of Fraud?
It looks interesting but the registration process is Ridiculous.
It's a Game Website, not the C.I.A.
Is anyone reading this a member? How?
What are the Secret Answers?

Take a look at the forums before you register, it doesn't look like anyone actually ever posts there.
And you don't need an account to download anything.

But if you really, really want an account... it's the lyrics to a song called Reading Rainbow which was from a TV program in the United States. So the rest of the world won't have heard of it. I only know this because there is another site that needs the same info to sign up, and people keep asking here!

Wow, that was fast. Thanks a Lot.
Never would have Guessed it.
Will give it a Try.

The site has been plagued with spambots from time to time, but that ^ seems to be the only thing that manages to keep most of them away (the ones that spam-post, anyway, not sure about the "silent" ones that just make accounts for no particular reason).

If you search the words as a full text (even without the missing words), it's the first result you get in a web search, so it's not meant to be impossible to figure it out even if you don't know what it's referencing.

It's always wild to me when someone asks this question and I realize that there's now multiple generations of people who wouldn't immediately recognize that song.

It's not necessarily a generational thing, it's a 'the United States is NOT the rest of the world' thing.

Outside of the USA, LeVar Burton is known for Roots and Star Trek: TNG, no-one in Europe (for example) has heard of PBS.

The previous set of questions were worse XD ("What year is it" was only updated every so often, among other things)

I didn't know what the text referred to at first - but like I said, one search is all it takes.
It's set up so you can answer if you know what it is, but also for it to be searchable if you don't know.

(Didn't have anything to do with the setup, but it seems to be working most of the time. I'm a moderator over there - these days mostly filtering out the bots that slip through the cracks, fixing the odd broken link, and such. Clearing out some cobwebs from time to time. It's been quite silent...).

That's sort of an odd comparison to make? I would imagine that none of our television networks are being watched outside of the country, but that obviously doesn't stop people outside the US from watching Star Trek. Dunno why Reading Rainbow was apparently never broadcast anywhere else, it was a great show.

If it was primarily a show for kids, it likely has to do with it being in English, and also whether TV channels in other countries are interested in the concepts, plus the ever-present issue of rights (and with it, possible restrictions). Kids shows generally have to be dubbed (since texting isn't very kid-friendly) and my country generally prefers to redo the concept if there are live actors, so occasionally the concept is used but they're remade or changed to fit the country and language. Sometimes the concepts work, other times they don't. Sometimes it has to do with the network and program rights, or other such things.

For instance Sesame Street - some countries dubbed the original versions, other countries made co-productions with a somewhat different concept but (usually) using muppets +/- live cast. I never watched the original US "Sesame Street" as a child, but I am familiar with several of the characters through a co-production that also sent various dubbed shorts from the original version (Cookie Monster, Ernie & Bert, etc.). Most kids' shows like these are sent through the public/government-funded TV network (similar to BBC), though these days there are more channels to pick from (back in my childhood we had just a few channels, so not a lot to pick from - satellite TV was on its way in, but we didn't get it until I was well into my teens - I only knew of Star Trek because we visited my aunt every summer, and they had satellite TV, so I loved watching ST: Voyager if it had reruns).

I don't think we had a concept like Reading Rainbows (not that I can remember from my childhood, anyway). Can't find anything about it being made internationally.

My country speaks English and I never heard of it here.

In Australia we had our own show Playschool which is similar.

No it isn't; as I mentioned, it was made by PBS- which is non-commercial, so is (or was, at least) funded partly by donations and public money. As far as I know, PBS only broadcast to the USA and small bits of Mexico and Canada. Star Trek is franchised throughout the world, and I've seen Roots on commercial TV here in the UK.

Seeing how I started this thing, I'm amused the direction it's taken.
Never heard of 'Reading Rainbow'.
Country? Illinois, USA.
Generational? I'm old enough to remember the deleted scene from
the First Time 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' was shown.

For a while, Insim was run by the same person that runs MATY and the Pirate forum, and I remember the registration question was "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow", which I suppose is quite niche too!

^ One of the previous Insim questions used to be "Which year is it" (or "which year is it next year") or something like that, but this one wasn't always updated every year, so people had issues with that one as well. I'd think the current one is easier to figure out

I suppose it is if you realise that the phrases are all part of a song, but I don't think that's really obvious. If you do an internet search on the individual lines it could be pretty confusing!

My country does not speak English and obviously I never heard of it here either, good thing I never tried to join insimenator.org lol

What channel a show was originally broadcast on and who was originally responsible for producing it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with which channels have been granted the rights to broadcast it. There's no reason that any show couldn't be broadcast on multiple channels in multiple different countries, if it's popular enough, and Reading Rainbow was incredibly popular and well known.

It's not always about broadcasting rights. It seems the show centered around books and reading, and featured books that most likely weren't internationally available (unless translated), so the show likely would've needed to be remade in each country to feature books available there. Sure, it could've been done, but maybe the broadcasters decided it wasn't a concept they wanted to focus on.

There's also the issue of language (as I said above). Dubbing live people might work for some countries, but I can't remember any instances of it in kids' programs in my country (dubbing muppets, dolls, cartoons and all that works fine, though). I think some shows I remember from my childhood were concepts from the US or other places, but whenever live people were featured, they were usually redone.

Oh yes, I understand that- but wasn't Reading Rainbow was produced by PBS member stations? So that would mean it was PBS funded. Plus, it was a Public Broadcast thing- designed to be for the consumption of the citizens of that country, and specific to the culture of that country. And non-commercial too, it wasn't made for profit or franchise, unlike Star Trek. The values and education given in Reading Rainbow aren't going to be very relevant to other cultures. I remember being puzzled by Sesame Street when I was younger, as Big Bird warned me not to jaywalk. Curriculums for younger viewers are different in other countries, and the books featured would not be available in other countries. We all have our own public channels making stuff like this for our cultures.

Sokisims-
Yikes!

I don't see how one can be expected to know this particular piece of music. TV is a zombie box with incessant ads and politics, and one can avoid watching it for various reasons. I've been banned from Insimenator for years, and I think I last visited there with my previous IP address, so I have no idea why this is banned. Unless they somehow found my edited InSimenator mod online and became angry.

I doubt it very much; insimenator has been unsupported ever since Katy and Eric sold the site to Walt^wiki and dramaz happened. For a while it was even hosted on MTS servers.
I'm guessing there's a domain ban on one of the email addresses that you use; a lot of sims sites do this.

I can't even register to give an e-mail address.

"Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!"

Could be that all of balticom.lv is banned, but I can't guess why that might be.

Unfortunately I can't search for banned Emails (there isn't an easy way to search, anyway), but it's possible it was part of a mass ban at some point. Some mail providers have been banned, sometimes done after a spam flood from the same mail provider.

If you just want to download stuff you should be able to use the site without an account. The only thing you need an account for is posting (and most of the time it's quite lifeless over there, so no guarantees you'll get any answers).

If jonasn can't get as far as putting in an email, then they probably blocked a huge range of IPs. In that case, you'd need to use a VPN or Tor circuit to get in.
