In truth, I only care about artists' rights, end of story.

This bugs me the most. I personally care for the rights of everyone who dropped hundreds of dollars on all these games and EPs and makes an effort to be active in the community. And I'm not saying downloading CC is a godgiven right. I'm saying not being lied to and cheated while downloading CC is their right.
With all due respect to creators reading this, I will never concider any of you artists. Creating for this game is a craft, not an art. Some of you are amazingly good at this craft and some aren't, but it's not freaking art and BBB, you're definetely no Michelangelo or Wilde.

And Moune, I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but you're really coming across as a fanboy. Every time we make a point you skip to some new alledged crime we commited against the great Numernor. I'd like to have a proper conversation about all this, and I understand this thread is rather hectic a the moment, but you're all over the place with your arguments. I hope you've gathered that we all respect Numenor as a modder. Whether we, as a group, respect him as a person is under discussion at the moment.
And Pes does not get away with all the horrible crap he says. Why do you think calalily must die anyway? Snoop around there's plenty of instances of mutiny. Besides, you can't say Numenor has bought himself the right to be an asshole and then turn around and say Pes should behave himself (see wher my fanboy comment comes from?). Thing is, we're all pretty sure Pes isn't really an oooold man with a beard who lives in a bombproof shelter with Misses Pescado, who is also old and bearded.

I'm all for respecting the efforts of those people who have worked to make the game what it is, but sucking their e-peen just because they're e-turkeyslapping me is just not my style.

It was a lot like like picking up a trick who goes on and on about how awesome he is in bed and then can't get it up.

Psh, yeah, and we all know how annoying that is, amiright ladies? Amiright? Y'all know I'm right.

Someone brofist me.

Seriously, nobody was holding a gun to his head and telling him to post NAO and better make sure it was accepted. My post there will never see the light of day, but I really didn't feel compelled to change my opinion or even my wording because of that.

I'm sorry, but you're making an emotional argument. Your logic is sort of skewed and all you're really saying is that you feel we're doing the wrong thing. Which is fine, but we've given you our reasons. Being insulted like that, even as part of a whole group, hurt. And knowing there's someone out there who wishes terminal illness on me for sending around .package files is scary and strange.

Also no surprise, Beoxb... that guy's blog has comment moderation. I made a very polite remark but I doubt it'll ever see the light of day.

You could post it here for all of us to admire.  Cheesy

Your wish is my command:

Actually, that statement means nothing more than "Please play nice and respect what everyone does with their content". If you make the choice to accept this statement as EA gospel (which most people certainly don't, but you apparently do) and see it as proof that paysites are okay, than it MUST go both ways: the pirates have as much a right to do what they do with .package files as every other person in the community.
You can not have your cake and eat it too.

Okay, not all sugar and rainbows, but a hell of a lot more polite than I felt like being Cheesy

On a side-note, this is the PMBD I love. Making intelligent arguments, being so goddman activist Che would be proud, all sass and reason. I love it. And I needed it.

Second: You know, if there was ever somebody in the Sims community who should be allowed to hold a grudge over a small thing, it would be Numenor. He has not only been essential in the development of crucial modding tools, he has also at all times been one of the most helpful people over at MTS2 – you know, where the rest of us so-called creators go when we can’t figure out how to make whatever we’re trying to make. There are not a whole lot of other people who has put such an effort into the Sims community as Numenor. I’d say we’re talking about a max of two handfuls.

What kind of sick logic is that? You mean that being a profilic and talented modder has bought him the right to be a petty child? I'll never deny that he has done amazing things for this community and modding for the game, but nothing should be able to buy you the right to throw temper tantrums and insult people. I respect Pes for what he's done too, but if he'd try to say that kind of thing to my face he'd get such a slap. Then he'd take my eyes out with his tumb in 0.2 seconds, but that' beside the point.

I always thought it was a shame his one item ended up here, but a bigger man would have said "Right, fuck it, I can get over it if it serves a bigger purpose". Many of us would have done just that. I can understand why it's here and it should be here, even though it feels wrong. But to say that his e-peen buys him the right to be an abusive asshole is beyond daft.

Also no surprise, Beoxb... that guy's blog has comment moderation. I made a very polite remark but I doubt it'll ever see the light of day.

Are you going to make it into a petition? Because I'd sign that in a heartbeat. (And I remember you too. Welcome back)

Oh, I was looking in the wrong place. Sorry about that. I hope she's well whatever she's doing right now, I quite liked her.
38  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: Ea makes statement March 2 making paysites ok? on: 2009 March 03, 01:00:08
I just realized: she made a statement that endorses the rights of people to sell Sim porn.
DO EET. Make a proof of concept site selling porn just to get them to shut you down.

You know what, I think I will. Anyone who wants to submit Sim Smut for Simoleans, you know wher to find me Kiss

Also, question: this DemiMayorJosh character in those BBS threads, is that who I think it is?

Yup, I remember when Sherrie came storming in here just LIVID with TSR. She'd been a member there and was threated rather horrid. Ever since I came back to this phorum after a little break she completely disappeared though, and so did her site. Always wanted to ask what happened to her but it just never came up before.

Aw, thanks Kaitlyn, glad you like it. The hair on those sims is a perfect example of free creators making pay crap look amazing. I'd be crazy to have anything against that.
43  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: More Smutty Than You: TSR's Hall of Shame on: 2009 March 02, 13:44:58
But those funky neons are oh-so-cool, DevilfishTongue

Exactly, that's what I was saying. Have a look at my siggie. That wouldn't have been possible without the GoSlings.
44  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: TSR Sharing your infomation! on: 2009 March 02, 00:21:08
See, that's what I don't get. How can she claim to be oh so victimised, brutalised and traumatised when everyone with a working internet connection can see that pretty much all of GoS welcomed her with open arms? Unless I missed something huge, from where I'm standing it's the GoSlings who were kind and supportive nd the TSR crowd who went behind her back and bitched about her on a supersekrit forum. So how does she figure she's better off there? I know I shouldn't be trying to see her logic, but still.

SilentLucidity is coming up with some really creative stuff. I love it.
