If I remember correctly at the time one of them came back and posted under her regular BBS sign on. She had a lot of RL things going on and did not want to deal with the shit that was being stirred up with Drea's announcement. They didn't agree with all the "you mentioned InSim six months ago, now you will be banned for one week" stuff. But to be honest, I don't think they have replaced any of the moderator positions. I mainly read the Mac boards and they hardly ever post there.
My gut feeling is that they'll be having EAxoids working on that site like the UK site has EA reps moderating there. And then again, with all the stuff that gets allowed on the BBS now with the SMs left that police it with an iron fist (and keeping much of the control as a result), I have a feeling if there are no SMs left, the TS3 BBS will go to hell in a handbasket. That's assuming that they'll even have a BBS for TS3. I can see them deciding not to have one in an attempt to stifle bad publicity and negative feedback. They already ignore their customers, and not having a BBS would just make it easier for them to do so. |

Yar, I agree with you. I'm not so sure that they're smart enough to not have a forum though. Look at Sims Societies forum. It's a wreck!  They seem to be gluttons for punishment. |

Early in the Sims 1 days the BBS was useful. You could actually get help there, esp. technical help.
Now it's dominated by 12s who barely know which side of a mouse goes up. ("I just push the little ball around with my fingers.")

You know Scurvy Cat, I did see someone on the BBS a few years ago say that. They said they have like a hard time playing The Sims because they have to push the little ball around with their fingers, so could someone help them figure out what was wrong with their mouse. |

I would not trust them with a fox, I would not trust them with a fox, I would not trust them here or there, I would not trust them anywhere. I do not like that mental scar, I would not trust that TSR... |

At least they didn't try to do it with their feet.  |

They are too lazy for that! Remember: they can't even be bothered to read a post if it's over 2 words!  |

Sadly we've cultivated a generation of slackers.

The box is carpeted and has soda and snacks, as well as a comfy bed and an idiot box with moving pictures... Damn, sounds like my game! |

Rawr! I like it outside the box and I always have. Much more fun to have people wonder just how weird you are, then to ignore you - and its funny to see their faces when you say outrageous things.
