Okay, Gramps feel free to move it wherever you want, I don't give a shit, I just wanted to say this.


This is the appreciation thread. NOT to be confused with the Booty's thanks thread, for this is not about the Booty in as many words.


This is the thread of worship of Gwen, Hecubus and Becky (ETC: Lisa was only around for a short time). Because, after all, they deserve a thread of their own with all the work they do.


Sure, I know what you're thinking; we're the ones who find the stuff, right? We're the ones who give it to them. Why should we be thanking them?!




The fact in the matter, is that they've been dealing with the booty for a few months now. All the time, they're updating it. They wade through the items we give them to post them in appropriate forms in folders. They fix problems that we find out. They only quietly ask for help and they never ask for any thanks. They keep the booty updated as much as they can.


Hecubus especially deserves brownies for all the work she does on TSR alone. It must take ages to put all the files up for that, especially when TSR updates every two seconds! (There's been at least 300 files uploaded since I started this post, Hec, get to it!! ;) *hugs*  :lol: )


I think it's high time we gave them gratitude for all the work they do for us. Without them all we'd have is a collection of files and SFV, and whilst SFV is nice, it's not the same as the Booty.



So have a cake, all of you. You deserve it.

(I will unlink them when I get home; I can't get on PB.com at school to put up a nonlinked version.)

:lol: Yep i agree with all the above,  they're  so dedicated, and yes even though lots of certain pirates do help out, :wink:  they are the ones with all the hard yakka to organise file etc, three cheers for them!!

Yes! Brilliant thread, Tchan!  :D

The booty does not just appear magically, there is lots of hard work associated with it, but sadly, most of it goes unnoticed in the background. So this is a big thank you to the pirates who arrange it, upload it and post pictures and updates for us. And the best thing is, they do it for free!

So, thank you,  Gwen, Becky, Lisa and Hecubus!
Also, I'd like to thank Bluesoup, who dealt with booty for a long time on her own. :)



Thank you, guys, you rock!!!

It's got to be a pain in the ass to deal with all the files even if TSR didn't exist. :shock:  I would run screaming into the night if I had to do it. :lol:
Thank you guys for still being helpful even though some people demand that they must have that new hair and see a penis RIGHT NOW! :P

Aye, thank you for everything guys!! Its all very appreciated  :D I am glad that I can help out with some of it....

Whoooa, I think we need a new cult.

Thanks guys!

Ahh fuck yeah!

And this cult offers booty, pirate talk and orgies right?  :lol: I am so in!



I help her a bit with it actually :wink:

The phorum and the booty have been at its best since they started organising it, IMO.

*gives them many cookies and rum*

And, of course, extra appreciation must go to the ones who have to plunder Atwat's, Carla Niven's, Spice Sims', and Glamour Sims' crap. D:

Aye, I never for even a second take the booty for granted. Every time I go there I marvel at the hard work our diligent Booty Gods have put in to keep things up to date and organized. I do what I can to help with subscriptions and 'donation' sets, so I don't feel like a total moocher!

Thanks so much guys, seriously. You are appreciated!

Yes, you lot deserve Medals of Honour or something like that.  How you can look at those creators' things and keep your relatively firm grasp on reality is fan-freakin-tastic!  Huzzah!

Edit:  Grammar is our friend...

Well, gosh.

::::blush::::

It's such an honor! I'd like to thank the Academy....


But seriously, if it weren't for some special peeps, the work Gwendolyne, Bigtruckgirl and I do wouldn't be possible:

The Buccaneers - Evilredduckie, Ash_Redfern, Captain Jojoba, Karu. These guys have lifted some of the pillaging burden off us...many hands make light work! They're terrific.

Gwen's Little Helpers - Tchan, redlove, and barbwirex. They do a great job finding the missing booty and keeping our paysite list up to date. Arr!

The Suppliers - you know who you are. Without your generosity, we would not be able to kill paysites.

Gwen, Becky, and I do a lot of organizational work (we have lists!), and we do some pillaging, but like any ship, it's a team effort. We can't sail alone! (And I may have TSR, but poor Gwen takes care of Sim Freaks...so who's really got it worse? LOL)

I now want a custom title saying that, LOL!!! ;) I <3 Gwen ^^  :lol:




Good point. Very, very good point. Gwenny, have another cake. *hands her one* Actually, everyone, take a cake. You all deserve it. Everyone who has worked on the booty, past, present and future, deserves a cake.


CapnJ: Yeah, I know you help, it was plaguing me when I wrote it. But you KNOW I think you're awesome anyway. ;) And about "The person know as Tchan, who needs to rename themselves back to Tchan wrote", LOOOOOL. :lol:



@Bluesoup: Bluey scared me, so I didn't mention her. Plus, BECAUSE she worked on it alone, it was different to this. I don't know, whilst she deserves props, I'm not giving her cake. I maintain the cake belongs with Hec-who-needs-a-REAL-nickname, Becky and Gwen.

I'll toss out a baaa to Pescado for stompage at his leisure, but thanks to the entire crew who keep this going and, most importantly, have brought this entire assbackward paying first, crying later issue out into the light, helping out the EA customer base when EA won't, provoking rational discussion, bringing about exposure of nastiness, and generally gettin' people all edjumicated and stuff.

Hats off.   :D

A HUGE thank you to all that keep the booty in order.  You all are doing an amazing job.  You never cease to amaze me!  :D

A special mention goes to Hecubus, for her hard work not only on the booty but, on her extra activities to help people by organizing "Money Better Spent"

Pescado may hate all the warm and fuzzies...but...normal people need it once in awhile.   :lol:

You know somewhere down deep in the sub-cockles of his heart, he loves the squishy thanks feeling, too.

My father's first wife taught him this phrase, and he in turn taught it to me, and I use it here. Domo arigato. I thank you very much for your hard work, all of you. And, I wish to God there was a snail mail addy that I could send a money order or something to because we don't have credit cards in this house, not even a goddamn checking account with a debit card hooked to it. I do want to help with the finances, I get a bit of money every couple of weeks! Lemme know, I wanna help!
And, Pescado, it's all your fault that we broke out the warm fuzzies! Lol!

Thank you to everyone involved here!  The booty calls are fun, but I also love to read everyone's thoughts here at the forums! :)

I almost never download from the booty (trying to keep folder size down and most of it doesn't appeal to my interests), but you all perform a valuable service to the community and cut down those pesky bandwith usages for the paysite owners!

It must be hard to keep it all organized and not obliterate the people who refuse to read the stickies, you do an amazing job. I thank you.

Also, Pescado has a heart?  :shock:

Thank all you guys so much. I hate that I have no money to help out, but I admire everyone who does donate and all those who organize the booty. Whoever got "Lots of stuff" from Carla Niven for today's booty update, you deserve a standing ovation.

I don't download much from the booty due to a shitty internet connection (~21k dial up, ugh) and the fact that a lot of paysite stuff is crappy, but I still don't know what I ever did without it.

Good idea indeed:)
Kudos to everybody, this has to be a huge work.
Oh and let's not forget Surelyfunke, too, who mantained TSR before.

Group hug!!

Aye, I think you are awesome too Tchan! Now rename yourself Tchan! Or they will give you a user title of Tchan   :P  :lol:  (we were plotting it the other day actually, so it might happen!!)


Pucci - It was me  :cry: Carla Niven's shit has seriously hurt my eyes though...beyond repair I reckon. But sacrifices must be made... :roll:

*Group hug/orgy*

You are very brave for enduring that, CaptainJojoba. I think I would have nightmares of those creepy models and meaty dresses if I were you.

Pucci, I am now going to tell you something which will give you further nightmares.

Once you have logged into Carla Niven's site, there is a main download page. On that main download is a Niven drag queen. The drag queen is naked 'cept for a Niven C-string, and there is a hand crawling out of the back of her head....


 :shock:

The things I do for Gwen, Hec and BTG!

I demand a screen shot - the least we can do is share your pain. :twisted:

:shock:

That mental image will never go away.

...

Here, have a lifetime supply of rum. You've earned it. D:

You can give me a custom title saying Tchan, I don't mind. ;) I'm jealous of your CTs anyway. ^^^


I want to see a screenshot too. That sounds absolutely hilarious.

Ask and thee shall recieve! :twisted:

Behold, the naked drag queen with a hand crawling out of her head! (http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7997/creepcarlagp7.png)

*takes swig of rum*

That's positively freaky. It's like those shows they have on TLC about people with weird deformities/diseases. I wonder what "hand growing out of head syndrome" is called?

Sexay!

Here, have some more rum. You'll need it for wiping the horrors of CN's site from your memory.

And here's some for Hecubus too, for the horror that is known as Spicy Sims.

(And Tchan should be known as Tchan, because that is who she is.) :)

I know how she did that pose, but it does look frightfully creepy without seeing the arm.



And i r not da tchan, i r da cazzy. *mockglare*

And hey, we can't forget Pescado's Rage. It lives its own life out there. It gets things done. It cleans your house. It brings you flowers. It feeds your cat.

Pescado:


I for one is joining Pescado's Rage Cult (or should it be Raging Cult? :P ).

That's just...no words.
But I have to admit what I was imagining in my head was a lot worse than what Cardrew did to her sim. If that's even possible.  :lol:

And I add my heaps of thanks to Hecubus, Gwendolyne, Tchan, and all the other noble simmers who help them with the booty and destroy paysites.
And of course Pescado, who is unlike anyone I have ever encountered before...not only does he have that efficient Pescade Rage, he has more integrity than many of the other simming commmunity figure-heads combined.
Hats off to all of you, take another swig of rum, you deserve it!  :D

It's not crawling out of her head. It's trying to hold her itty bitty brain in.

I agree with duckie. (the evil red one.)  that she is trying to hold in her itty bitty brains.  

I also agree with Grace that, I pictured much worse in my twisted mind.  

Beyond that... does anyone else think it looks kind of like she's putting her thumb through her breast instead of on it?
