Ya. That was me giving the benefit of the doubt to him.  We will see if it matters. (by the way I had posted in that thread.  That was what I was referring to.  I judt go by a different user name there)

This is not the place for this.  I just had to tell you how to behave over at MATY and I don't plan to do it twice.  Now go and read the FAQ before you post anything else here. We have a introduction thread but if you had followed the rules and read the FAQ you would know that.  Don't treat this place like you did that one.  I think we may have even less tolerance for it than they do.

fake edit- d-star beat me to it but doesn't have the brief history of you that I do.  Now go behave.

Well, their attitude seems to be that the advertisers themselves or the companies that they contract with are the ones who have complete and utter control over the ads.  They don't take responsibility for the content of the ads at all, even the smutty ones.  It seems to be the same as the virus issue. "We don't put the ads there.  Tell them to do something about it."  There are enough people around the community who have sites that use ads to know that isn't the way it works.  If an ad service is putting inappropriate ads up on your site you tell them to stop.  If there are virus alarms going off because of ads you make them fix it and you take down the ads until they do.  If you do all this and there is still a problem that keeps happening you get a new ad service or, in the case of TSR, you decide that it is bad enough that you are charging for content and you really don't need the extra revenue anyway and you take the ads down.  Well, that last part is just what should be done and not what they will do, obviously.

Part of the cloning issue with the Stylist set is that the object they cloned for the large shelving system was not only not a bookcase (so no real functionality) but the original item was only 1 square and the new one is three so sims walk through it and stuff.  I was excited about it myself but I'm sure it just because it is the first furniture out there.  I will gather up some patience and wait with everyone for actual functional and pretty shinies.  I mean if they can pull off this and it isn't even their normal area of "expertise" then I can't wait until the people who really know furniture meshing really get it going.

They don't target their paid users with the ads.  If you have a subscription you don;t get the ads.  There are people dumb enough to actually get a sub simply to stop their Anti-virus from going off every time they visit the site.  I know this because when all this was happening I was posting about it in the forums as well and the sheeple were saying things like "just get a sub and then you can just skip the ads".  Like that made it better.  I have since switched to Firefox and have lots of ad-blockers and no script so I feel better but me being able to fix the problem on my end doesn't take away their culpability.

Was that the IP that was a proxy? I am not sure how proxies work as far as uniqueness or whatever but wasn't that their argument last time " just because we have used Proxy IP's before doesn't mean that we still have that one" or something?

I do remember being told that If I subscribe then I wouldn't have to worry about the ads anymore and I explained that I shouldn't have to "worry" about the ads at all. They just really don't get it.

I have talked to TSR about the fact that they are responsible for the virus, spyware, malware, whatever you want to call it that pops up from the ads on their site but they disagree.  They informed me that it was somehow my responsibility to contact their advertisers and complain about the ads.  They stated to me that they have no control over the ads.  I reminded them that they certainly have control over whether or not they are there and if they knowingly keep up ads that are harmful or dangerous then it is indeed their fault if their customers are damaged by that.  No matter what I said they still insisted that I was complaining to the wrong people.

I must have missed that they left something free when they made her an FA.

She is a TSR Sims 3 FA. Her Sims 3 creations at TSR are all pay. Her category or specialty or whatever they are doing is clothing obviously.

Well, she is already getting paid at TSR after all.

I would say they are a Sims 2 paysite but a Sims 3 freesite until they start charging for this content.  If we don't at least give them the chance to change then why would they?

That's great Moune.  About the poly counts, it isn't a big deal.  I just hate having a few high poly things and forgetting which ones are high.  If the description tells me the counts then I can decide how many I should place on a certain lot.  It is especially helpful when it comes to things like plants or lamps or things that could be used in multiple amounts. I am glad your set is low and isnt an issue.

@Moune:  I have had the same problem with repository items (deleting the master) but then I got a set rom somewhere and the creator had written in BOLD letters "Master Mesh; do not delete" and I thought " I wish all creators would do that.  So that would be my suggestion.  I like plenty of Info in the description of an Item.  I don't think it is unreasonable to have Poly counts and whether an item depends on another item and even the creators name in the description.

I am sure we discussed it but I have no idea where.  She seemed to quickly forget about it and go after MATY but never admitted she was wrong.
