Why do you hate me?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why do you hate me?

Yes, I create for a site that maintains a subscription area. I have been associated with that site since it was a Yahoo Group. As a matter of fact, I was the 478th person to join the group. I am also the senior moderator on the forum. So, you could say that I have been there since the beginning and that I know the owners pretty well.

Because of the fact that we do maintain a subscription area, we are, by your definition, a paysite. And we have been painted as greedy opportunists, rolling in our “ill gotten” gains. We are characterized as evil, evil people STEALING from children and swimming in our bloody lucre. You have already decided what I am all about despite the fact that very few of you have taken the time to get to know me as a person.

The decision to have a subscription area was reached after a great deal of soul searching. We attempted to maintain our site based solely off voluntary donations. What we got for that, in the way of thanks, was innumerable hateful comments about how our bandwidth was always used up. The site owner started making mail order candles and selling Avon in an attempt to generate the funds necessary to keep our site free. But it was not enough.

Our site also maintains an “adult” area. A vast majority of our forum members are over the age of eighteen and we do enjoy using custom content of an “adult” nature. I tell you this because it was also a factor in our decision to maintain a subscription area. I know that there is at least 2 very good adult oriented fansites out there. I will not go into details about them here as Kathy & Eric have politely asked that they not be discussed on this forum.

Half of our site’s administrative staff are creators and a majority of those create adult oriented custom content. Creators are, by their very nature, sensitive individuals. And it hurts all of the Creators when we get a rude, hateful email from some angry parent who has just found out that their thirteen year old downloaded “pornographic” content from our site. It is all our fault, despite the fact that said thirteen year old knowing falsified their registration data & claimed to be over eighteen. These parents held us responsible for THEIR parental failures. If we had a dime for every one of those hateful emails, we could maintain the site completely free for two years. So, we moved all of our adult oriented custom content into our subscription area.

At least now when Mister & Missus Too-Busy-Keeping-Up-With-The-Joneses-To-Be-A-Parent send us some electronic vitriol threatening our arrest for making pornography available to minors, we can inform them that we will be filing counter-charges against their innocent little angel for wire fraud because the little darling used Mommy & Daddy’s credit card to pay for access to our adult area.

Why do you hate me?

You hate me because I am associated with a paysite. And because of that association, everything that I have just stated above is completely invalid in your eyes. I used to feel welcome and at home here. Now I feel like...

...the African-American ghetto kid bussed to the white suburban school.
...the overweight, uncoordinated kid that gets picked last EVERY time in gym class.
...the shy girl, wearing the oversized threadbare sweater you pass in the halls without a single glance, let alone a kind word.
...the girl all the “popular” girls spread rumors about how promiscuous she is because they can.
...the mentally challenged kid that gets picked on because he is “just like Forrest Gump”.
...a Jew in Nazi occupied Europe.

I do not expect, or want, sympathy. To be honest, I do not even expect common courtesy here after I post this. But, I felt the need to let you all know how I feel. So, in closing, let me just make a few more points.

The petition that you all are signing is sponsored by an individual with a link to the PaySitesMustBeDestroyed website. This site openly admits that it is violating the Intellectual Property Rights of Creators. It thumbs it’s nose at those Creators from the protection of Malaysia, a country that does not honor the copywrite laws of any nation. Numerous members of this forum also have links to this site in their signatures. And you justify indulging in File Theft by saying that paysite creators broke the rules first by violating EA’s EULA. Folks, I was raised that two wrongs DO NOT make a right.

Hercubus singled out TSR & OpenHouseForSims as two particularly offensive paysites. OpenHouseForSims in her letter has an “This Site Has Exceeded It’s Bandwidth” message up at the time I am writing this, so I have no way of knowing what their subscription rates are at this time. TSR has an annual subscription rate of $42.95US. So, why is TSR more offensive with an ANNUAL subscription rate of slightly less than a new EP, but http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ , with a MONTHLY subscription rate of $39.95US goes unnoticed in this thread at the time that I am posting this?

In closing, I just want to say this...

There are certainly people out there charging excessive fees for access to THEIR custom content. But that is THEIR right. You do not have to like it. But you DO NOT have a “right” to their Intellectual Property for free. They are the Creators and it is their right to charge, whatever they wish, for their creations. The only right you have is to choose whether or not you wish to pay for their content.

To my mind, this whole enterprise is ill-considered and short-sighted, and bears no discernible difference from any other form of abusive attack or demand placed upon any creator of custom content for The Sims 2.  I cannot support it, nor can I support any site that supports it.

Beos also wrote an interesting post in the thread. I guess he fears that EA will ban all CC. That would be stupid of them, since the CC is the only reason why I still play the game. The last part is the most interesting, though:



So, he is leaving Insim? If he is, I bet he is going to TSR, since he seems to think they "respect the creators' rights" and whatnot.

Lurker has to comment on this one.

What a Drama Queen!!!  I am shocked someone would ever compare themselves to these examples.  This is just a game. I would suggest if all of this is making you feel this bad about yourself that maybe you should find a different hobby.

 :roll:

No one here hates paysite owners.

God forbid some whiny baby gets their feelings hurt.

I dunno about idiot of the year,wait till December to decide that, but Idiot of the month, for May, yes. Hell, let's make it a "feature" here, every month name a new jackass. Maybe even send the winner every month a certified PMBD "Idiot of the Month" html certificate,lol.........

I'm finding myself not liking rather strongly this Amadeus451 person.  I think it would be awesome for her to sit down with my in-laws and chat about what it was like to be a Jew in the 1930s in Poland.  Then she could see what real hatred is all about and STOP WHINING LIKE A FUCKING 4-YEAR-OLD.

Talking about "fans"...there were people bitching after the shootings in VT that their tv show was cancelled for news. For real.  :roll:

You actually waited for them to WHINE? I didn't even wait THAT long. Just by SEEING THAT PERSON's *NAME*, before they even wrote anything, I felt the unexplainable urge to SET THEM ON FIRE! And not in the same way I want to set everyone on fire, either. WHY IS THAT, HRM?!?

I bet he is going to TSR.

....This person sounds like an even more whiny version of Beosboxboy. I wouldn't be surprised if the latter moves to TSR.....

...the mentally challenged kid that gets picked on because he is “just like Forrest Gump”.

"Stupid is as stupid does. "

They always want to play the victim. The Woe is Me syndrome.  I doubt anyone ever thought about him before, but I'm pretty sure alot of people hate him now because he's an idiot. A 44 year old man whining like that....I'm embarrassed FOR him. No offense, but I actually thought it was a teenage girl.

I can't decide if it's better or worse that the drama queen in question is actually a 44 yo male.

but http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ , with a MONTHLY subscription rate of $39.95US goes unnoticed in this thread at the time that I am posting this?

Rofl, maybe she explore it more before throwing around stupid accusations like that, maybe..actually READING or clicking links available?

If Pescado ever charged that would make him a Hypocrit, this girl has some serious issues.

It's not all bad, the name put the song "Rock Me Amadeus" in my head!  It's really the only positive thing involved with learning of this person's existence, though.

No.  HE and 44.  There, revel in that horror!

I think it's more the number-name thing. I hate number-names, but THAT particular number name conjures up images of BURNINATION for some reason.

Want to know the real tragedy of this?  According to the amadeus451's profile (http://www.insimenator.net/member.php?u=5867), it's a HE and he's 44!  Omg, how can you get to 44 and still be such a drama whore?  Seriously.

Weep for humanity, folks.

He just sounds too immensely stupid to even be able to go to the loo without being surrounded by paddled walls and floors O__O

Wow...I'm amazed at how such a big, retarded, idiotic, astoundingly cretin loser might be able to get through simple tasks in ordinary routine like I dunno, making breakfast without setting his house on fire, driving a car without killing himself within the first minute, climbing stairs without falling and breaking all hisbones, having whatever job, any job you can think of, without being fired within the first day...I just can't honesty figure it out, really, such a cretin making it through every day...He just sounds too immensely stupid to even be able to go to the loo without being surrounded by paddled walls and floors O__O

Do I need to find a pirate avatar now?

She's a hater! Hater must be destroyed!

Wtf am I babbling about? xD

I doubt that.  My mother, who is in her 60s, manages to do quite a few things on her computer and on the internet.

As for it being a way of losing an argument?  Its that way in RL too.  Trying to make others feel sorry for you in such a grandiose and pathetic manner is well.....pathetic.
