The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Have the paysite debates changed your mind?

Have you changed your mind about how you feel toward the paysite issue?
All voters may stay anonymous.
Just another of my curious ponderings, I wonder how many have switched their way of thinking, one way or another.

In other words, it started as a very small site. Then it grew a lot bigger and more complicated. How dare they?!
Because some people are stupid (me included), and don't do their homework. We allowed it to happen. I don't think for one minute that EA will put an end to this debate. It will take the community to decide. As I have stated before, though. New players do not know about these issues, they stumble upon TSR when they google for info, fall into the trap of paying for something for lack of more information. That is why these debates need to stay prominent in the community, so people can make informed choices. |

According to this interview. Steve Bonham set up TSR to share with the community. Well, he went back on his word, he aint sharin' no more. He chose to make TSR for the community, for the community spirit, (if I read the interview correctly). TSR used to have free rotation of all content, people paid subs to gain better site access, no ads, the download wizard/basket, etc. Now FA content is held to ransom. |

Well when I said "freinds" at TSR I meant other FA's, creators, and downloaders. Not the site owners. I really have no influence over their decisions...sorry.  Not on your own, maybe not. But, if there were other FA's who agreed with this, then you would maybe have some say? |

Dr Pixel, that last post was much more pleasant to read. Your arguments there are much more reasonable.
As a previous paying customer, and getting shoddy customer support, I am entitled to bitch and moan about the one paysite to which I have subbed.
A big percentage of the people who frequent here and add their comments, have had bad experiences with paysites.
This is a place to vent all the ill feelings we have, we cannot go to the relevent sites, our comments and suggestions just get ignored. So hopefully by having this site open, paysite owners may learn how to improve their services.
*I speak only for myself, and not on behalf of anybody else from this site.
As Pescado said, negative comments are the most constructive. Or, words to that effect.

I am not sure if this is the same, whoever the seller is, may just be recouping the cost of the DVD's and postage. Depends how much they go for.
I can't say much for the preview pic. Not even an item listing, doesn't say if there are new meshes, nada.
Personally I wouldn't buy it.

The Pirate Ship / ARR! / TSR IS A SUCK-ASS SUCKY WEBSITE

I'm talking Morals, something which you all seem to lack, for me what I see you taking and distributing without the soul permission of the Artists and Creators are their ideas, their hard work and their textures all of which they own and wish to share their way, not yours. Whether that be through paysites or not, at the end of the day it doesn't come down to laws or legal issues what you are all doing is morally wrong. But there are no morals here, only those of sewer rats.
Anna
IMO the very reason this site is here, is basically because of the lack of morals on the side of the paysites. Anyone with free content that just invites people to join have not been added here. |

I can no longer sit back and read anymore of this BS, you are all the losers if anyone, so you think that taking all the FA files from TSR will shut them down get real you all need to get a life not the Artists at TSR, you criticize and pull them all down yet you go and steal all their files...doh!! doesn't make sense to me...anyway that's my rant over and done with ....long live TSR....  Anna Please define what you mean by stealing. My understanding of the word 'steal' is to deprive somebody of something. As far as TSR is concerned, they still have their files, we have not deprived them from their possessions. Full credit is given back to the FA's we are not passing these files off as our own. The files are here, to give people the opportunity to aquire free content that should be free in the first place. Please read the EULA. |

Grizzelda, welcome aboard, you are one of the few paysite creators to show their face, and not talk shit.
Some people give money to paysites because they know no different. They don't know about the EULA terms, they don't know paysites are breaking EA's terms.
When I first subbed to TSR, I didn't have the information that is now available. I feel cheated by TSR because of this. They were the only site I ever paid any money to.
It is pretty much a given that they are profiting, I hate to think that I have helped them to pay for their houses, cars, takeaways, etc.
All pay/donation sites should be accountable. There should be a public record of their accounts.
The fact that TSR charges VAT, proves that they are commercial.
Oh, have you thought about joining in on the Poser Initiative, over at ModtheSims?
A lot of community and team spirit is showing up. A refreshing change in the Sims community at the moment.
Edit: To delete the word possibly. Thanks for pointing that out.
