I remember when we broke the jump bug. The server got buried, heh. Crawled like ass the next day. Good times.

That works, too. Life is overrated anyway. And remember:

Of course I make sense. I'm old! I'm old and I have a long beard. The bottom line is that people have this strange belief that if you are not happy, something is wrong with you. This is nonsense. Life isn't all happy things. Bad shit happens. People who are still happy are probably a little loopy in the head. Promptly going on "anti-depressants" whenever you're not happy is simply another form of drug habit, and does nothing to teach you how to cope with setbacks. It just makes you a happy and well-sedated zombie.

Technically, this is entirely true. The American Constitution (which the present administration happens to use for terlet paper), only states that the government can't interfere with it. Doesn't say anything about Internet forums or other private places. If I don't like what you're saying, I can kick you out of my store. I'm not the government.

Me, though, well, you can tell just by looking around what my views on free speech are. It may be perfectly acceptable to be go and censor everyone since I don't represent a government, and besides, we're in Malaysia, but I actually believe in the entire "free speech" thing and am not going to wrangle legal hairs over it.

Are you sure you're DEPRESSED, as opposed to simply UNHAPPY? It seems to me you have plenty to be just plain ORDINARY unhappy about. People aren't always supposed to be happy, you know, despite what people tell you. The problem with all these diagnoses is that they can pin anything on you. I personally fit the profiles of tons of mental illnesses, but there's one key difference: I'M NOT SUFFERING FROM INSANITY. I *LIKE* BEING THIS WAY! I don't want to be a zombie!

I already told you where to get the unmetered bandwidth!


Eh, I have a better question? Who here is NORMAL? Who *DOESN'T* have a mental disorder? Show of hands? Anyone? Am I the only normal person here? Is it really a disorder when everyone has one? Maybe I'm insane because I'm not insane....

Heh. Even if Delphy's claim that "game content and materials" refers to only what was contained in the game, there's STILL a problem with that: Every single object ever made is an existing EA object that has been cloned and modified. The only thing that truly consists of completely unique code not at all derived from anything EA in origin is certain small hacks created from scratch-hexing and SimPE. Everything else is built on parts that were, at some point, extracted and cloned from an EA part.


Because you have to draw the line somewhere. And if they're really supporting just their bandwidth on it, then the money one of us paid to get that item in the first place covers that bandwidth already. Since the items are hosted at our expense, not theirs, we therefore can only alleviate their bandwidth costs in doing so.

Also, all paysites look the same to me anyway. If someone has acquired this item and claims to be a paysite, my criteria for not yanking it consists of the inability to acquire it for free. I don't actually *USE* any of this stuff. It all looks the same to me. As far as I'm concerned, a paysite is a paysite. Perhaps this is a somewhat hard-line view of the matter, but I was never known for doing things in moderation.

Yup. If they go through with it, I have a special killmark to commemorate the occasion prepped.

Give it about 10 years. Society will collapse into rioting and anarchy and only the survivalists will make it.

In other, unrelated news, Some "SimFreak" fellow on S2C in the BOO FRICKETY HOO thread seems to think we're claiming credit for the paysite booty...because yeah, stuffing them in directories named after their creators is so credit-claiming.

Wasn't Kate Moss the poster child for anorexia, or was that someone else? I'm not sure being a stick qualifies as sexy.

It doesn't work that way. Unlike some people, we're hosted on secure Unix servers, and Unix does not have virii. The ignorant like to bandy about how their hacker friends will get you. Those of us who actually know anything about how this works like to point and laugh at them.

I notice none of these factors has stopped you from helping yourself to the choice loot.

Yeah, seems like everyone but me knows some evil hacker to do their bidding for them? Why can't I find anyone like that? Having to do it yourself is such a pain in the neck.

I don't really know anything about this "Krispy Kreme" thing. If such a thing even exists somewhere, someone will have to point it out. Is that even a valid registered trademark in Malaysia?

For them to go after the entire community would require them to repudiate their own EULA, since the rest of our activities are allowed under it.


They probably don't want to associate with this sort of thing, which isn't unreasonable. Some people have bitchier, more trigger-happy hosting providers that are more easily intimidated by legalese.
