Title: Oh good grief. Post by: littlemisspirate on 2007 July 05, 15:04:01 My downloads folder has been lost and needs to be rebuilt. One of my favorite collections has been the Banana Republic Revival items that the Junipersun forum put together, despite all the shakedown bullshit from Birgit. I went to her site, and noticed the files were gone. So I emailed her, requesting the files.
This was her response: Quote Hi ******, sorry but I closed the banana section cause the file piracys played a bad game with my traffic. They called on all their members to download my stuff and remove it again and again only for boosting my traffic.I had to remargin 220€ for my traffic. That´s the reason why my site is momentary closed and I went to TSR. Maybe, one day I´ll upload the banana items at TSR . Greetings Birgit So, let me get this straight: 1) Pirates have nothing better to do than deliberately ruin Birgit's site by sucking away her bandwidth. 2) It's perfectly okay to hold a bunch of other people's work hostage because you're a greedy Teutonic Twat. 3) The word "remargin" can be used in contexts I never even dreamed of. *headdesk* This probably would make it hella obvious to her who I am, but good God do I not care at this point.

Title: Oh good grief. Post by: calalily on 2007 July 05, 16:20:06 Quote from: "Lilyroseisapirate" what a beotch (i am trying to learn to control my tongue) You should control it altogether. My husband controlled his tongue, and uses non-swearing alternatives. It's quite a shock to be called a "horrible dog" :lol: You'd think the swearing would make a difference, but it's the creative unusual ones that really make you sit up and notice. As for Birgit, well, she's a cocksucker and a motherfucker, (I have taken no such controlling vows) and always comes up with some sob story about how she needs teh moneys. Now pirates can be to blame for every evil in the world. Title: Oh good grief. Post by: Broomhilda on 2007 July 05, 16:35:32 I see what you mean calalily, I think I would prefer bitch to horrible dog. :lol:
hmmm I think cocksucking ho bag is more appropriate, but that's just my opinion. :) Title: Oh good grief.

Post by: kitkat on 2007 July 05, 23:23:21 You could just email her back and thank her very sweetly for her time - then thank her for the heads up on the pirates. Say something to the effect that you appreciate her help and you'll see if you can find one of those pirates that would be willing to pass it on to you. You could even ask her if by chance she knows where you can find the pirates that she spoke of.

Post by: littlemisspirate on 2007 July 06, 00:48:10 In the spirit of peer pressure and mindfuckery, I succumbed. We'll see if she bites.
Title: Oh good grief. Post by: Paden on 2007 July 06, 00:49:32 Yeah, go for it! I'd love to see what in the hell she has to say. Or do you think she'd try to come over all ignorant on the chance she might think she'd lose a sale? Idiots and jerks.... "Let's twist the damn thing to make it say what we want to and hit anyone who knows better with a hammer so they can't explain it." There are none so blind as those who will not see...
Title: Oh good grief. Post by: littlemisspirate on 2007 July 06, 00:59:23 Who knows how she'll reply? Based on the letter I sent her and the reply I received, her reading comprehension's as bad as her written expression. I'd be just as unsurprised if the letter wooooooshes over her head than if she writes back in the midst of some frothing pro-paysite conniption. Either way I'll be massively entertained.
Title: Oh good grief. Post by: Lhop on 2007 July 06, 01:17:37 Man oh man, either way, I cannot wait to see what she says.
It'll be just as funny either way, if it goes over her head, well, we'd all have a great laugh at the stupidity of a paysite owner, and if she freaks out, we'll have a great time reading her rant. Either way it'll be fun for all. Unless she doesn't reply, that is! Title: Oh good grief. Post by: Tchannie on 2007 July 06, 07:21:08 Broomhilda: I know, eh? ;)
LMP: I really wanna know what she says, too--it'll be hilarious. Title: Oh good grief. Post by: SnarkyShark on 2007 July 06, 11:12:41 Do the items referred to actually use the Banana Republic logo? If so it's possible she was told to cease and desist and is just too embarrassed to say as much. Regardless of that, she's full of shit blaming her move to TSSR on pirates. She should have just remargined her bandwidth better.

Took me a minute to get, but that was pretty funny. Title: Oh good grief.

She should have just remargined her bandwidth better. I don't believe they had the logo on them (could be wrong though). It was just a bunch of Sims1 furniture redone for Sims2. It was a pretty nice set, but it actually looked better in Sims1(imo). Title: Oh good grief.

It was a pretty nice set, but it actually looked better in Sims1(imo). The Banana Republic referred to, was a Sims 1 site not to be confused with the retail stores. There is horrid history of greed associated with the owner of Banana Republic, CosyCole aka CashCole. It was exorbitantly over priced crappy stuff. With the exception of a few items by a creators who's names I can't remember now (some are still around). All of it with a heavy ethnic theme. Bah sometimes I miss all the drama we had in Sims 1 *sigh* Title: Oh good grief. Post by: littlemisspirate on 2007 July 06, 16:32:07 DAMMIT. That was the most anti-climactic response ever. She simply told me that the Junipersun and SimBella forums both have permission to share the files.
Where was the rage? The idiocy? The near-incoherent, poorly spelled babbling? (Although I suppose that describes *all* her written English...) What a killjoy. Title: Oh good grief. Post by: Duckie on 2007 July 06, 18:25:31 So, you asked her to point you to said pirates and she referred you to Simbella and JuniperSun? *Roffle* Does that mean that Simbella and JuniperSun are pirates in her opinion?
Title: Oh good grief. Post by: littlemisspirate on 2007 July 08, 22:54:16 Hmmmm, she caught on.
Quote Hallo Littlemisspirate/******, you are really a “little” pirate .*lol* Since I have *no* idea what she meant by that, I simply replied "So?" in response. Title: Oh good grief. Post by: Marhis on 2007 July 08, 23:16:01 She wants you to know that she knows our secret lair, so you (according to her) failed because she has spotted your plan. Tag! Surrender, you're caught.
OH NOES!!!111 They spotted our secret headquarters!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!1111oneoneoneeleven Title: Oh good grief.

No, littlemisspirate, you are really a "very big" pirate...What a moron. But yes, this whole response was quite anticlimactic. I loved her original reply, telling you to check simbella. Title: Oh good grief. Post by: SnarkyShark on 2007 July 09, 03:13:09 Quote from: "lhop" I loved her original reply, telling you to check simbella. It just goes to show how despicable Birgit truly is. Sending anyone over to Simbella's for any reason is just plain EVIL. From what I hear most of the unfortunates who go in there NEVER come out (they spend the rest of eternity trying to earn happy-happy-brownie points or some shit). Title: Oh good grief.

Heh, wow, I guess I'm glad I've never had the pleasure then. Any site with "Bella" in the name, I won't go to, because I am forced to assume it has something to do with the sims character Bella that all the BBSers won't shut the fuck up about. I think the happy brownie points thing is a great idea though. We should do something like that here, like miserable cat piss death star points or something like that. :lol: :twisted: Title: Oh good grief.

Post by: Nemui on 2007 July 31, 08:59:12 stupid question... i downloaded some stuff u guys had in the booty it was from simbella's hangout.. that was a while ago, but i can't find that folder anymore... have u deleted it? :oops:

And check Inactive Sites. And the FAQ. Title: Oh good grief. Post by: Hecubus on 2007 July 31, 13:19:43 From the FAQ: (http://phorum.mustnotbenamed.com/viewtopic.php?t=1104)
"NOTE: Some forums have strict rules about sharing free files among their members; while members may have to pay in blood or pride, no money exchanges hands, and they are beyond the scope of this site." That's a nice way of saying 'we don't have Simbella's stuff.' Title: Oh good grief.
