Sorry to drag a post from a couple of pages back..

Problem is that most of us long time pirates remember that Solander was part of the "Save the Sims Community" initiative - you know - the one run by paysites banding together to get rid of pirates - also FAIL. 

He was part of that? I only recall the key players in it (Mikey, Magnificent, Greg).

Where was this decided upon, and why hasn't the FAQ been changed to reflect this?

Oh was discussed and decided here some time ago. It should come up if you do a search but I do not have a link handy.  Tongue Well it was never needed in the FAQ as no one before has had much of an issue with it.

EDIT: In reply to Jojoba. 

Again, if we're not allowed to mention looks, then we shouldn't be allowed to mention intelligence or lack thereof.   So, let's change the FAQ to reflect the new, kinder, more gentler PMBD.  The one that is completely PC. 

Well I stand by my reasons why I disagree. Mocking looks is not a neccessary point we should reach, and this was discussed, and decided, previously. It is not what this phorum is about and we can simply mock their actions instead, as those are pretty horrendous.

1: It's fun.  

Physical appearance does not matter..how a person acts and how they express themselves speak much greater. If we take Atwa as an example, her actions completely show what a vile individual she can be, so it is not neccessary to further discuss her appearance.

2: I think it does some good to point out that they are mentally ill.

Mental illness is usually not visible through appearance so I do not see the relevance here.

3: We're not supposed to be nice.  Yes, we have a cause, and I do think that in some cases, we need to be careful before we start yelling at everyone, but we make it perfectly clear that paysites are the enemy.  

They are the 'enemy' for asking for money in exchange for sim content, not because of how they look. It is what they do and the fact that they are paysites that we disagree with. Their appearance does not come into it.

4: It's fun.  Bears repeating, because it's true.  

I just do not see that as a strong enough reason. It is not neccessary to lower yourself down to mock someone's appearance when their actions are already low and reveal more about that person.

I agree that we shouldn't be mocking physical characteristics of Thomas, Atwa, or anyone else, or diagnosing mental illness over the web. This has been bothering me for a long time.  It dilutes and trivializes the important things we're arguing against.

I agree with dietofworms.

Besides wasn't it agreed upon somewhere around here that we will refrain from poking at someone's appearance? If it wasn't, then I'm mistaken, but I could have sworn I read it somewhere.

Yes it was.

I realise that the conversation has developed since the above posts were made but I wanted to express my opinon  Smiley

I recommend reading this post by Magenta (thank you to her) at SimsCave. Blacky will be moving the paysets to the free area, but are keeping the VIP sets. The VIP area is for donators only (correct me if wrong..), so they are not going completely free. It is a step still. A small step. Here's hoping they release the VIP area also

Wanna learn how to mesh hair? Then you can just make exactly what you want Cheesy

Can I pretend to be Missbonbon and answer this question?  Cheesy You should teach people Nouk..mm tasty mesh knowledge!

And straight from the coconut's mouth: http://tsr.mustbedestroyed.org/?p=423

That brings a whole new meaning to the mispelling in Windkeeper's hacked profile of 'Itoms'.   Wink

It seems more something that Atwa would do, than Thomas, though.
53  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: Blacky's Sims2 Zoo going free on: 2009 February 20, 20:18:14
Devilfish and BadKitty: Yup, may mean she simply forgot to update the FAQ! Sending an email would be the best thing to do Smiley Good idea.

Am having one of those days where everything I post sounds like complete garble. Am going to stay away from the post button now  Cheesy
54  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: Blacky's Sims2 Zoo going free on: 2009 February 20, 19:03:38
Since some weeks http://www.sims4life.de/ don't offer anymore paysets, now, everthing there is for free  Wink
they are on the right way...  Grin

All the past sets are free indeed, but she still talks about donation sets on the FAQ page so that would suggest that she will make more pay ones. Mmm.
55  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: Blacky's Sims2 Zoo going free on: 2009 February 20, 18:10:47
That is fantastic news! Quite a sudden, unexpected change as well. Blacky had recently (well a couple of months ago..) said they would be closing due to lack of donations to keep them going. Am glad they have that sorted and are looking to go free Smiley They will be removed from the booty when all the paysets are released and the site is completely free  Cheesy

Thats great news. The more sites to go free, the better it is. And it can help cause some pressure on other paysites to go free. (Unlikely for TSR, but some smaller paysties might pick up on the trend.)

Indeed rum nate. Simenapule went free recently as well. Perhaps we may see more going free in the months to come...well one can hope  Grin
56  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: Reflex forum is now closed on: 2009 February 20, 10:51:05
Alright, thank you for the correction Wink Was merely wondering on that, and was not aware that he was still very active at RSF. Sorry if I caused any offense with asking.

Edited to add more
57  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: Reflex forum is now closed on: 2009 February 19, 22:01:41
You may be right with that dietofworms. Tongue I do hope it was an actual act of kindness, and not for murky reasons. I just would not put it past TSR to encourage him to do so.
58  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: Reflex forum is now closed on: 2009 February 19, 21:21:47
Did Heidi make that mesh from scratch or use a premade 3D source? They are too similar for both to claim to be made from scratch. Either Marcella has yoinked it, or they both used a premade 3D object. Did not see it stated that Heidi had made it from scratch, so correct me if I missed that.

Also, is it just my suspicious mind, or do you think TSR gave Nanu a nudge to make a gift to save some face and put TSR in a better light? There were subscribers at RSF and TSR do often plan deliberate attempts to boost their image like that.
59  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: Reflex forum is now closed on: 2009 February 18, 22:10:52
I always thought this kind of "war" would end in the long run, but obviously it doesn't.

Well it became in TSR's eyes a war against anyone but them. RSF was a peaceful, neutral site (not forgetting charming amounts of glitter  Grin) so attacking and destroying them...? Well, no words on it. The screenshot you quoted is shocking, and as much as it is a horrid, stark revelation, thank you to Coconut for showing it.

Good luck with the future site, Solander  Smiley

Looks like Tantra completely stopped being an FA, or is that old news? You know, from http://www.fashiontwist.org/

Yup they left back in July, like Calalily said. Have not heard much about it, but seems there was a falling about after some other clothes creators became FA. Their site is pretty nice  Tongue Am glad that they continued creating -  and for free!
