Oh EA, you money-greedy bastards. ):

I met my husband as he ran a Game store for a while. We played my old Sunday DnD game in the back room of his store as well as many other games my husband GM'd for us. There were several of us who were female in the group. No one had any problem with us girls playing with the guys. Heck, they thought it was great and cool. But I can understand the other side as well.

Ah, well. Yay for all us geeks!

I've replied to Hydra's thread in the Sims3 forums.

Jump in if you'd like, before Hydra stompinates it!

That was a great post CatofWar. And its got a second page of comments, so there are people posting on it, and other good thing. I would post links to some of the content you mentioned, but I'm not logged in the site on this computer (I was logged in one day, the next day the site had logged me out), and it takes way too long for the thing to come up so I can log in (I'm on dial up). If its still there tomorrow, and no one has posted links, I do it on my parents computer because they have high speed.

[CatOfWar]

Thank you, rum nate.  Links would be good, but I avoided them in the original post because Hydra would definitely use that as a reason to delete it.  They hate links to MTS, and especially MATY and PMBD, if I understand right.  I feel kind of cowardly about that, actually, but I hope it will make the post longer lived, and maybe get a response from Hydra or another "guru".

I was talking about links to Peggy's skins, or the smutty content on TSR. I would avoid linking to MTS, PMBD, or MATY. There is a thread about getting banned on the Sims 3 BBS on the social forums on MTS, someone got a permanent ban for linking to MTS, because it isn't PG-13, but the other people on the site linking to TSR and Peggy are fine, because they have no adult content at all.

CatOfWar, that was truly well-worded. Don't feel cowardly for one bit about not linking to MTS or MATY; you were specific enough and surely even the people there are smart enough to copy+paste into a google search bar. It's far more important that the thread stays up longer and more people see it! Speaking of which, I've got screenies, particularly of your posts, as they seemed most poignant and it would be a shame to lose them should your topic be deleted. A toast to you, Cat! *pours rum*

[Dr House]

It's really amazing it's still on. That's pretty neat, guys Enlighten some BBS sheep FTW.

[CatOfWar]

I wouldn't be surprised if Hydra temp or permabanned someone for linking to Peggy's nekkid skin.  She lists Peggy as an approved site, she says it's PG13, but I'm sure there's one standard for Hydra and a whole different standard for eebil pirates.  I would definitely link to it if Hydra claims it's not true though.

[rum nate]

I would not be surprised if they delete a thread that links to Peggy's skin, or any of the smutty stuff on TSR, and ban the person who linked it. But, as long as we could get screen caps of a thread doing that before its gone, we have proof that there is bad content on those sites that EA doesn't want linked to, but they still will link to the sites because they are fine and have no adult content.

[CatOfWar]

dusdeedawn Thanks for taking screenies.  I've been taking them too, but I'm falling asleep here.  If it's not too late where you are, and if there are more replies, and you happen to screen cap them, that would be great.

edit:
rum nate oooh, brilliant!
edit2:
I would wait on that though, or do it in a different thread, or only do it if Hydra demands it, so today's thread stays up for a while, folks see it.  I think I'm babbling more than usual, as nethack might say, Valkyrie needs sleep badly.

[Dr House]

Btw can't you put a pic? Peggy's ugly skin with its genital would be a sure bomb.

[rum nate]

You can post pics in a thread there, but I think we should move linking to smutty content and posting pics to a different thread on there, that way it doesn't put CatofWar's thread in danger of getting deleted because of that smutty content.

[CatOfWar]

Btw can't you put a pic? Peggy's ugly skin with its genital would be a sure bomb.

Could, but want that thread to stay up for a while if possible, so people see EA's hypocrisy.  Pussy bomb could be its own thread.  For myself, I would rather do a link with a warning (18+ only), instead of a pic bomb, because there are kids there.

Thats a good idea, that way we don't look like the bad guys by exposing that skin to kids, though that pic would upset a parent who saw it, especially if their kid was the one viewing it and the parent walked in. That would cause people to get mad about EA allowing linking to a site with content like that. But just putting the link and the 18+ warning is probably better in the long run.

blargle blargle Zzzzzz *drool*
*Cat stumbles off in a vaguely bedlike direction*

We shall see what the morrow brings.  My bet is on nuked thread, but I hope to be wrong.
