Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: ladyj on 2007 July 31, 01:54:46 Quoted from Ren:
Quote After writing out my thoughts in a post recently concerning the paysite debate, I've come to a decision concerning a change in the distribution of my donation items. I do not wish to disrespect any previous donators, and I would like to try and maintain the skintones as personal gifts, however I also want to encourage the whole spirit of Filesharing. I've been a member of N99's filesharing forum for a very long time now, and it is where I first shared my creations for TS1. I have always loved the idea of passing items on and supporting that kind of request/receive communication... because it keeps a community alive and kickin', and happy. I also fully support the PMBD booty, and SFV's wishlist/download system, as I feel they are conducting activities allowed to them by EA'S EULA. Too many acronyms? lol I also fully support donation gifts and systems for noncommercial websites, because that too is allowed by EA'S EULA. But, I have never been very comfortable, personally, having donation items. I think I've said that a few times on these forums... Anyway, so I decided to change things. Here is a paste of the new request specific to donations, and I encourage everyone to check out the revised policy page by the link at top-right: UPDATE: On July 30th, 2007, I changed my distribution requests for the donation skintones. Feel free to share these files with anyone via email, IM, as contest prizes, and so on. My only distribution request is that they not be served somewhere openly for mass, unmoderated download -- my hope is for them to remain a personal gift passed on and on and on. But that's only a request, I won't come mobbing after ya or anything. If you do not wish to donate, you may request these files at fileshare forums, and POBS forums, such as N99. Forum thread located here (http://rensim.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=147) I think that this is a good step in the right direction! Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: RedLove on 2007 July 31, 02:00:08 Yay! I knew there was something I always liked about Ren(besides the awesome downloads).
Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Hecubus on 2007 July 31, 02:17:17 YAY! Ren Sims has LIBERATED her skins!
Although it appears she wants us to keep hosting them. I'll send her an email and make sure that's her wish. Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Ry on 2007 July 31, 02:41:33 Well that's great!
I always have liked her stuff, too. :D *passes around rum and cookies* Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: JFederated on 2007 July 31, 02:57:47 Ren is made of WIN. Thank you, Ren! :D
Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: HystericalParoxysm on 2007 July 31, 02:59:46 YAY! *applauds wildly* Ren's one of my favourite artists and this is fantastic news. I was so hoping she'd go that route!
Can we call this one a HUGMARK or maybe a SNUGGLEWIN rather than a KILLMARK? :) Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Silvercoin on 2007 July 31, 03:04:34 Cheers and rum for Ren. :D It's great to see this change. I think the new policy is a very good one. It's limited but still not limited if that makes any sense at all. It's a good system for noncommercial fansites, anyway.
Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Hecubus on 2007 July 31, 03:07:33 HP, we only use "Killmark" now if the site goes belly up. If a site, like this, goes free, we say it's "Liberated".
Much nicer! (Although "snugglemark" is appropriate for Ren...Lulz!) Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: SnarkyShark on 2007 July 31, 03:13:35 You're a class act all the way. Thanks, Ren!
Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: HystericalParoxysm on 2007 July 31, 03:15:42 Oh darn, you crazy pirates and your terminologies and WORDS and things. Now I look the fool, yet again.
Snuggliberated? Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Hecubus on 2007 July 31, 03:27:18 Nah, not a fool. Pescado only came up with that a couple of days ago, and we only just released the FAQ with that information in it this evening....so how would you know?
Unless you're psychic...in which case... FOR SHAME, HP!! You FOOL! :lol: Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Ren on 2007 July 31, 04:57:33 I came to announce this myself, and find this ::blush::
I'm glad about coming to a decision on it too. I'd been trying to think of something that would satisfy me, donators, and those who can't donate, ever since I previewed the circonflex skintones. So, this way I can still offer something tangible to those who donate, but not request a burden of exclusivity. snugglemark.. lol ps - I totally fail at posting. For some reason, my first attempt tried to be a new topic... good thing I didn't put in a subject. Lets hope take2 posts as a reply, bleh. Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: alia on 2007 July 31, 08:12:00 Yay! :D
Have some rum, Ren! You rock! And I promise to donate to your site again soon! :) Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Gwendolyne on 2007 July 31, 08:15:57 Yay, a snugglemark for Ren :D
You are more than welcome here :D Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Anouk on 2007 July 31, 10:07:24 HurraaayyyyyY!!! :D
Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Apsalar on 2007 July 31, 15:48:16 Quote from: "N0uK!!EINZ" HurraaayyyyyY!!! :D I concur wholeheartedly. Have some spiced muffin rum, Ren! (I just made up that flavor 8) ) Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Electricstatic on 2007 July 31, 21:07:02 I was going to post this last night. :)
I love Ren's stuff. It's really awesome she's "liberated" her skintones! A snugglemark and rum for her! Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: vikitty on 2007 August 01, 20:39:37 Hooray for Ren!
Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Captain Berg on 2007 August 01, 20:48:42 Very awesome and very classy! GO REN! 8)
Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: redisenchanted on 2007 August 04, 07:09:27 Great news. Ren is one of my fav creators. Love her eyes.
Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: liegenschonheit on 2007 August 06, 01:06:47 I have to say, I love the idea of having files that are gift files. Not that they must be paid for, just that they aren't available for mass download anywhere and are passed on as gifts from one person to another. Part of the reason I fell in with the anti-paysite crowd in the first place is that I love just passing things along. It's kind of a cool way to get things, other than to just go on a mass downloading spree. I'm glad these are free, and what a great way to do it too.
Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Flying Dutchman on 2007 August 09, 06:50:55 This is by far one of the most level headed things I've read about this touchy subject, I think this is a great idea.
Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Druid on 2007 August 09, 09:03:55 I donated to Ren's site because of this - I don't even think i want the skins (although they are very nice! i just simply have too many skins in my game...it's bursting :oops: ). I just thought this was a really cool thing to do.
Plus, I use Ren's makeup almost exclusively. Ren...you are one awesome person. Oh, and, omg, literally..i think all my sims use her eyebrows. They are, hands down, the best out there. I also like the idea of it being a gift..not a mass download... Makes it seem MUCH more in the spirit of how we WANT the community to be. *shares her much-coveted coconut rum with Ren* Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Ren on 2007 August 09, 09:54:33 mmm...coconut... guess what I *must* have for breakfast now, lol.
Thanks everyone for the supportive comments... I'm positive this change isn't an innovation on my part, but I'd sure feel a bit of pride if some other paysites followed suit. Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: crmelsimlover on 2007 August 09, 19:56:41 Ren, you are the bomb! <Passes the rum and cookies> WTG! :D
Title: Ren Sims donation skintones made FSF! Post by: Aralie on 2007 August 10, 05:48:16 Yay! *Passes Bacardi Peach Red (because it's amazing) to Ren* :D
