I was very moved by your post Danielle.

The talent that i've seen of you and Raychael's work is almost unduplicated in this community in my humble opinion.
Your creations are perfectly textured, bump-mapped and all the other good things we look for in CC.
I'm so happy to hear you and your collegue have been liberated. This is cause for celebration!
I really enjoy the theme and content of your site, as well as it's name.

I wish you luck with your site and appreciate your joy of creation.
We appreciate the results of that joy.

It's unfortunate what you've gone through and I hope that more eyes open about the dirty deeds going on behind the scenes including the blatant disrespect and disregard for two of TSR's most valuable assets (that they now no longer have because of said disrespect and disregard).

Congrats to you and Raychael (I love the spelling of her name.. geez..).

Welcome to the Phorum.
And with that, I raise my glass of rum to you.




.. wait.. do pirates drink rum from glasses? 
or am I doing it wrong..

Although the files have been released, she may want to remove the actual "Donator's Gift" section from the website.  I mean, I would..


Jussayin..

Very good move.  I hope the birthday celebration is a smashing success.

Donator's Gift and Donation Gift means the same thing.  It's something you recolored solely because those people gave  you money.  Soliciting new donations is irrelevant.

All of Peggy's payfiles go by the name of "Donator's Gift" too.
Those Donators get to use it, see it, share it, eat it and whatever else, First.
Then, occassionaly, she'll release one for free..

I don't see how you and Peggy don't wear the same dress on this.

And yes, you may want to believe that the free mesh you recolored wasn't used for donations, but indeed it was, still is, and will continue to be until next Thursday when you decide to release it to the masses.

They may not have "paid" to receive that "gift".  But they paid you and in return you gave them a gift.

This is the exact same reason TreZillah's shit is in the booty too.

Yeah but...

That still doesn't explain you giving out recolors of free meshes to donators only.  Sizz specifically states in her TOU on MTS2 that her meshes are not to be used for such purposes.

Did you get permission from Sizz to include her meshes in your celebratory event?
If not, perhaps you should consider giving out something else as your special gift for donators.

Works for me.

Does anyone know how to contact Sizz besides MTS2?  Has anyone else tried to contact Sizz?
And whoever said the original looks much better than the recolor is my newest drinking buddy.
I couldn't agree more...

She pulled an OpenHouseJackass..
Just wrong..

Is it just me?  Or does the scarf that she's selling (err.. gifting..?) look an aweful lot like Sizza's free scarf mesh on MTS2??
Unfortunately I don't have a link right now, but i'm sure someone knows what the hell i'm talking about...

Nice to see he's taken the recolors down.  He can win.. for now.

Thanks Nouk.

Gotta love the animal army, thanks for that link.  I also just checked out of curiosity and lo and behold, that's not the only SAU mesh this fuck is selling... there are several a few pages in.

Nice work Pineapple, hopefully the folks at SAU will open up a can of proverbial whoop-ass.  Wish I could do something but as Snarky said, ranting did feel pretty good.  The shit's just wrong man..

Edited to add:

I can do something afterall.  I'll shoot him a message on InSim quoting SAU's policy.... see if retardo-muppet grows a conscious and sets the recolor free..

I just thought about something else.. the mesh is probably included with his recolor which is also against SAU's policy.  I don't know how it works because I would fail at life itself if I got a sub to his site.  Never had a sub for Sims content and I never will.  It just seems that if he was bold enough to recolor it and offer it for pay, then he's bold enough to include a free mesh with his overly-photoskinned recolor.

Where's the damn angry face smiley?

You know, When I first saw that free helaene mesh recolored to hell and back and offered for sale on Openhouse Jackasses site, I was peeved a little... but I kept it to myself.  Did a little investigation around here and found out about his not-so-private personal escapades on myspace, his general fuckification and overall selfish assholishness.  I laughed, shrugged it off and went about my merry way. 

Now.. his latest blog on TSR mentions some bullshit about recoloring pay meshes and how it doesn't really make sense since he's only an SA there..

Anyway, his latest update today on his site made me almost spit on my monitor.  It's good I didn't because i'm the only one around to clean up the phlegm..

He proceeds to recolor a FREE SAU mesh, a site that I have a shitload of respect for considering the fact that their hair and clothes win at free cc.. So not only does he recolor said mesh... it's up for pay.  (Don't trip, I know how shit works here, this aint no stinkin request) COMPLETELY disregarding this shit.. right here.. in big bold letters:

That shit makes me sick to my stomach, utter disgust.  Usually I sit back, lurk, agree with the pirates and play my fuckin game.
But this dude is just shitting in quality creators faces while thinking if he uploads to InSim or MTS2 or TSR (as a free-almost-pay creator) he's doing his good deed.  All the while his latest blog entry is an extreme case of contridiction.

The infamous recolor that has raised my fragile blood pressure:

End rant.

Kudos to them, job well done!!!!
They've got some very nice stuff too!
