That being said, I do believe that it is a shame that someone's past is used against them. Especially when they have paid for it. But by the same token, I also believe that this particular crime makes his current position as owner of a child-dominated game website inappropriate. If Delphy were a teacher at a school, regardless of the level of his crime, you and I both know we would not send our kids there. It's a simple fact. And to say you would continue to send your kids there, I believe is an untruth.
I really have to disagree with you calling The Sims 2 a child oriented game. While I cannot find the data anymore but I seem to recall the primary sales demographic of the Sims franchise has been to over 30 women. Furthermore having been there since pretty much the start of MTS2 (though not terribly active) it really was started as an enthusiast community of developers and hackers seeking to probe the internals of the game and ultimately allow expansion beyond the capabilities of the tools given to us. The downloads and stuff came later. You cannot expect someone to close down something just because it's more successful then they first planned.
You take anyone yourself included and dig enough and you can make that person look like the worst person in the world. Denying people credit and acceptance for their hard is simply paranoia.
Delphy,
I would like to personally thank you for all your hard work particularly in the beginning when without your work we wouldn't know half the things we do about the game.
