    Much was made about the demise of NSMI, the crass and tacky site in which Sheila Danzig, proprietress (with her husband Bill) of the highly controversial MIGS, offered to sell various get-rich-quick schemes, and even offered term papers for sale on the same site that at one time plugged MIGS.

    I am either pleased or disappointed (haven't decided which) to report that, while doing some random checks today, I discovered that the NSMI.com site is back, in all it's glory, complete with Sheila's Macarena lessons, the Virtual Yenta Matchmaking Service, her questionable dietary supplements, and lots of other goodies.

    Unfortunately, her "Free Term Paper" site, along with the links to degree.com, seem to be gone. What a shame!

    I guess the Danzigs just couldn't make it on the tuition of the 15+ students at MIGS, so had to resort back to their less-than-wonderful marketing game.

    While you can't argue with these observations, I thought there was already a section for MIGS (mentioned 3 times above) postings elsewhere? That way, they could easily be ignored by those not interested. I would suggest that is a better place than in the General Distance Learning Discussions forum.

    It appears to me that the http://www.nsmi.com site is still gone. What happens is that www.nsmi immediately redirects you to the http://www.danzig.com website. This is the way it worked when they first took it down. I believe what is changed is that (as Chip mentioned) they put some of the links that were on www.nsmi over on the www.danzig site.

    I too am most pleased that the valuable Macerena instruction is back. I have found that once AGAIN my Macerena has gotten shamefully rusty and I was in dire need of a refresher.

    My favorite web page is still not back up though. [​IMG] (Yes even better than the term paper, IMHO.)It was the page that had a photograph of the NSMI 1040 tax forms that showed that NSMI was raking in literally *M*I*L*L*I*O*N*S* of dollars of revenue per year. I really can't imagine any reason why that one page would not be back up? :confused It seemed to be the main selling point for the AMAZING marketing secrets package. :confused

    BTW The AMAZING marketing secrets package used to cost $199. Apparently you can now get it for FREE FREE FREE, just purchase some classified ads list (or something :confused) for $39 and then you get it for FREE FREE FREE. I really can't imagine why on Earth the page with the 1040's is not up. :confused Okay I guess I can come up with just ONE possible explanation.

    Hypothetical Scenario: Person "X" has made a living from get-rich-quick schemes, including providing pre-written research papers over the Internet.

    Person "X" then helps to start a Distance Learning University, initially is on the Board of Trustees of said University, and then goes underground, while keeping a hand in University ownership, after an ill-conceived lawsuit blows up in the University's collective face.

    Why on earth would anyone want *anything* to do with this hypothetical University, never mind being a graduate?

    If you'll excuse me, I'm late for my Macarena lesson....

    Actually, I gave consderable thought to whether this belonged in the MIGS forum or in the general forum. Since Sheila's antics were a topic of conversation long before MIGS ever existed, I made the decision that this was more of a general humor topic and not one related to MIGS.

    As long as it's dealing with the Macarena and free term papers -- which, by the way, aren't free, and aren't even on Sheila's site... they link to other sites -- I think it belongs here. If it veers off topic into another MIGS discussion, then we'll move it over to the MIGS forum.

    BTW, did anyone happen to save the image of the Danzigs' tax return?

    This is clearly marked an Off-Topic thread so don't you mean if it veers on topic? [​IMG]

    I've been kicking myself for not saving that page ever since it became unavailable and I'm getting mighty tired of kicking myself as I'm sure you can well imagine because kicking oneself is much easier said than done. Now excuse me while I go kick myself for being :confused instead of [​IMG].

    BTW, I think that your confused smilie, [​IMG], discriminates against those of us that consider confusion a positive and happy state. Without confusion there would be no learning (distance or traditional). Confusion is just the path to insight and knowledge. Can we change the face to a smile or perhaps compromise on a straght mouth?
