TSR Sharing your infomation!

[Darqstar]

Those weren't unique, either.  Darqstar at TSR did some way before LDG:

Kevin's Hope did it long before Darqstar did.  His actually turn the lights on and off too!


Kevin made other LDG type clutter too.  His have a lower poly count, I bet too.

To me, these are better made and have more variety than LDG's switches:

Devilfish, PM Sinthe over at GOS or over here. I believe she is Sinthe over here as well. Her account was the one that was hacked, but an anonymous poster on SimSecret is the one that discovered the IP is from Hide My Ip. So you need to find where that post is, post your information there, and see if they reply.

The LDG light switches aren't bad, but there's some at MTS2 that I like better (from personal experience - ack! don't hit me). The LDG ones are categorized in deco, and unfortunately, so is damn near everything else in my downloads folder.

I use the Sims 2 categorizer to place things where I want them. For example, any deco I have that belongs in the bathroom goes into Plumbing, Misc. Any kitchen deco goes into Appliances, Misc so I can find it without going into Decorative for everything. Makes it real easy. You can find it at www.simwadrobe.com under the Sims 2 programs section.

I'm the anon who posted the picture (I'm having a hard time logging into my LJ) and found that the number came from Hide My IP. I didn't do much except google the number and stumble across the site.

Here's the screenshot of the forum post where someone stated that the IP number in question came from Hide-My-Ip. I'm sorry I didn't read this thread sooner - I got caught up in the Insim dramacakes and forgot about TSR and this thread.

[Devilfish]

Hm, I have that screenshot and sent it too them before I got this reply, so I wonder what else they want from me. I contacted Sinth at Simscave but that's down too, I'll try at GoS next.

Do we have clear, supportable information as to who is creating this issue? It's either Tom or Atwa (or Tom's wife, but I highly doubt it) and I've supported that with all the info and screenshots I could snag. How much more specific do they want me to get?

For reference, this is the reply I sent after I first contacted them:

There are some things that point in the direction of Hide-my-IP.
First, the moderator of the LJ community that was hacked posted the IP
used by the attaker when she regained control of the journal. She
removed the post later, but here is a screenshot:

Later, a member of the community posted this:

Pointing to http://i34.tinypic.com/2450q44.png

Then later, another member pointed this out:

I am sorry if Hipe-my-IP is not involved in this, but many people are
upset by this attack (hence the language, I apologise for that) and
are doing all they can to resolve this situation. Thank you for taking
the time to help us do that. If there is any way I can help or if
there are more question, I'll gladly help in any way I can. If you
require the log files from the site, I'm sure I can provide those as
well.

I really don't know what else they want at this point 

[Piratey]

It's a start.

Nice to see that Part 7 of the paypal info sharing thread is up (or back up?) on coconut's journal.

[Ashbashtus]

So a few pages back I left screenies of what I did to my TSR profile. Well I finally logged back on. They didnt ban me, but they "unpublished" my profile. Oh how sad I am.

[Missbonbon]

Hello Nerdcaeks! Thanks for checking up here. The only issue I can see right now, is linking Atwat to Icicle. Because the way I see it, on one hand we know that IP addy hacked SimSecret. We know about the IP being used at other sites. On the other hand we know someone said that is an IP they can use to watch basically internet TV. We need a way to connect the two hands. In other words, if Icicle is Atwat.

Now I'm not condoning lying, or saying "let's just say Icicle is Atwat!" We need full on proof that Icicle is Atwats handle on some other websites.

[Nerdcaekz]

I understand, Missbonbon. Unfortunately, I don't think Icicle is Atwat. I think Icicle is a person who purchased the proxy program, and that number is one of many available to those who want to have their IP come out of the U.K. There's a post by someone named Dragon farther down which suggests that this number could be freely used by those who use Hide-My-Ip.

This is where the discussion takes place: www.torrevieja.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=37090

I'm really sorry I can't help in any way. I tried finding out more, but everything points to Icicle being a separate person. That's not to say that she doesn't know Atwat, Thomas or Steve because it's possible she does. I guess the only way to find out is if she's a member of TSR or not.

Good luck to you. I hope you find out what you need to bust their asses.

(Btw, if you want you can call me Laura. )

[Missbonbon]

Aww thank you for trying.  All your information was still helpful. Glad I can call you Laura, it was a bit difficult to try and train myself to spell nerdcakes as nerdcaekz.

[SBNao]

Missbonbon, is this link better? 

http://www.simwardrobe.com/

Sims 2>> Programs>> 3rd one down.

[Missbonbon]

Yep.  I think it's because the first time you forgot an "r" is wardrobe. And on another note, I'm going to be re categorizing my sims all day! 67 pages to go through!

She just never gives up, does she?  She is like a raging case of herpes* that keeps flaring up, just when you think you have it under control.
