Retail Sims

[Nala]

OMG the thread about Retailsims closing over at Simbella's is hilarious. Someone called *Melissa* posted this:

What I don't understand is why is it okay for JM to charge for Sims content, but not anybody else?

And all that talk about how pescado is a pervert.. oh and someone being disgusted because an admin said 'shit' on their precious little forum!

LMAO! I'm sure for a while she felt really proud of her shattering argument too. That is, until someone let her in on the intricacies of "sarcasm"...

[Surelyfunke]

They seem to be dreadfully confused. First Pescado opens paysites, and now he created the Inteen?  :lol:

Oh, come out of under that rock, already!

[jesserocket]

She cleverly disguised her TRUE feelings by coughing. That's impressive.

It blows my mind how many of these doorknobs are coming out saying 'Oh well how can he charge for his sight than blah blah hypocrisy blah jerk blah' and it's like umm, didn't you ever notice that no matter what the front page says, you can dl every fucking file on there free?

[jesserocket]

Well of course they didn't!! What, you think these people are the type to engage their brains and investigate a matter? It's pretty much a commentary on the state of the community that people see the front page, think 'oh, dude, it's an exorbitant paysite that I can't afford' and don't actually bat an eyelid at the fact of it, that in their minds, you're expected to pay $39.95 to access a site. To them, it's almost normal, it doesn't occur to them that there's anything amiss there. Because they never ever everevereverevereverevereverever EVER bother to think, and are so used to paysites being overpriced anyway.

Actually, the way I got onto the site involved a link I found to one of the files. I just worked from there. My assumption about the mainpage was that it was an intelligence test. i.e. If you were stupid enough to try to pay that much money to get in, you probably deserved to.
I didn't find out about it being a complete smokescreen until a while later, after which I quickly worked out an elaborate story to tell people, involving potential refunds based on their behaviour and perceived contribution to the morale of the community. Shame I never got to use it.

I don't remember how I stumbled upon MATY.  I'm pretty sure I ended up there because of MTS2, and got to MTS2 because of GameFAQs.

I usually don't say much at all, so I can only surmise that I just took the time to read about the site and lurk a bit before joining after getting into the forum and, ahem, paying my subscription fee.  :wink:

Wow.  I can almost hear the gears sticking on that one.

For $40 Pescado would have to do alot more for me than give me hacks.  Maybe if he folded some laundry or shoveled my driveway I could see forking that kind of cash over.  

It honestly goes to show you how out of it they are.  I don't really know Pescado well outside of SFV, so I am not sure how he behaves on MATY, but I can't imagine it being much different.  Having, err debated with the lad on a number of topics, I have come to the conclusion that he is many things, none of which are perverted.

You know what? I never knew how to access MATY forums from the frontpage, though I knew the exact url of the forums. XD I think it was pretty clear that the frontpage of MATY is a mock-up of paysites.

simplystella, it's "cute", isn't it? Hehe. I got it from kawaii_not @ LJ. I love the icons there.

And GOSH, I'm happy the PMBD forums are back. I need my dose of gossips, you know!

Yes, perverted comes very very low in the list of things I consider him to be...Frankly, Pescado + perverted is one of the scariest combinations of things my brain can conceive...


Also, have you notived, RetailSims, even in its emptiness, is S2C's Featured Site....

It's random. So, as long as it's not deleted, it will appear as a Featured Site. :roll:

[Enelar]

I swear the front page is a sheep test. If you don't get sarcasm, you are not awesome enough to d/l for free.

Ahh...That's just silleh...

[coliss]

On another hand, even if the probability is low (since it's set on random), people will get to know that RetailSims is now closed (if they've never heard of the website or if they rarely ever visit it). If her website dies, there might be a chance that they know about certain things about PMBD existing and such if the thread is a "Featured Site". Yup, yup. :lol:
