Delphy we do understand that you need to get all the evidence from the IP's and tie it to credit cards, paypal accounts or bank accounts as do the other site owners who have been hacked or had their stuff stolen. There really is nothing you can do until you have that info- Just for reference you're not a cockbagel - I think you're doing your damnedest for the community and for your creators to ensure you have a legal leg to stand on and know who did this before you take action. Otherwise you and the other freesite owners will end up looking like idiots not whomever did this whether or not they were linked to TSR or another paysite.

The thing that gets me about this is that Aikea Guinea, Icedmango and other retired (e.g. the fuck you I'm sick of Thomass's shite group) creators  get the idea that Shakeshafts alleged actions as well as TSR's attitude in general made them look bad and have said so on S2C and GOS- Are the other FA"s and SA's (what few there are )who do decent work so blind that they cannot see that Shakeshafts actions have put the quality and legitimacy of all of their work into question. I know yesterday when I opened up the game I was like did MsBarrows really come up with that mesh, Did SimsAddict99 really do that or was it stolen from another creator ? This seriously discredits everyone at TSR (more than they already are) not just Shakeshaft and while most of them are in it for the money rather than the love of the game  and they made their own beds my leaving the freesites  i still pity them for being such fools.

My sims would be bowled over laughing at that hair- Hasn't Peggy heard that electrocution is only a fashion statement for Death Row inmates.

Only the people who got it right would be TSR trying to hack into your account and steal your stuffs.

Most of the clothes Makeup and hair (that is not recolors of someone elses' mesh) at TSR is the type of stuff that you put your Sims in and they look in the mirror and begin laughing hysterically- when even a bunch of AI driven pixels thinks something is fugly than you know its gotta be bad .

I will lend you my giant bakery sized one that makes 10 loaves of bread at a time if you want - -

Probably the same reason that the depend on people  like Pescado, Delphy and Numenor to create cc programs and mods- that their FA's and SA's use to create stuff- they know next to nothing about computers other than where the on switch is which would be why Version 7/8 Whatever of the TSR site is borked and you can't download, comment, or thank people (if they deserve it) 3/4 of the time.

Oooh pretty I want it - It looks lovely and comfy like something my sims would like to sleep in if most of my legacy family weren't plantsims, servos, and vampires that did not need sleep. Let me know where to get it

If you don't know don't come here claiming to be from TSR - after all " we have people using that site to make trouble all the time at TSR " is claiming you are someone in the know implying either an exec with TSR Inc, an Admin or a Forum Mod -  If you don't know anything than run back to TSR and tell them to send use someone who really does to explain it to us- like we'd really believe them but still - get your lies straight

" I don't know" doesn't cut it- you and your fellow admins or whatever you are are a business- this means following commonly accepted international business ethics

1. Stealing other peoples stuff is a no no - its called intellectual property theft or corporate espionage (The theft of Buggybooz stuff by Shakeshaft for instance, or your actions towards Natural Sims, SimsSecrets, Reflexsims and other sites which though non-profit as per EA's Eula are incorporated none- the less) - In ethical companies the people who do this shit aren't only fired, or suspended they are arrested and thrown in jail (Shakeshaft is an FA- FA's get paid for their work even if it is only in free shit- hence they fit the definition of an employee)


2. Lying to the customers that sign your paycheck about potential invasion of their privacy or theft of credit card information is poor business ethics and violates the BBBO Code of Ethics for online businesses. Not telling people makes it worse (I'm sorry but like a real hacker would steal the info on the FA:s and SA's who have free subscriptions no PayPal or credit cards required when they can steal the info of paying customers ).


3. Convincing other companies like EA to violate the TOS and Eula's that they wrote themselves and that they have been supporting for 25 years - is unethical


4. Don't waste your breath with the ohh pity me routine- if you come to a site that has made obvious their hate for you over the years expecting sympathy than EATSR are bigger idiots than even the most cynical of us thought you were. If you people would be honest with your creators and customers and EA would be honest with us than well we would not have as much of a problem with your.

Now I am getting really catty - someone needs to sit in a corner - over there by the Family Fun Stuff Chalkboard and write -  I will not lie to the customers that sign my paycheck 641 billion times.

Sorry EATSR not buying the excuses anymore- It has been made abundantly clear that you care not for the gamers who purchase your shit- poor quality games, poor quality custom content, poor customer service (whatever happened to the customer is always right?), and poor quality business ethics- Well EATSR you can add poor quality sales to that cause if Ya''ll don't start treating the people who pay for your stuff (even though the TSR half of EATSR is violating the EA half's  EULA that they wrote all by their wittel swelves by selling stuff created by Maxis - point more than half of certain FA's so called custom content is based on EA meshes - which are the intellectual property of the game designer who created the mesh and EA games) properly than you can continue to add poor quality sales (remember last year and the 641 billion dollars you lost) to the list.

I'd like to investigate how much of a kickback TSR is giving EA for not prosecuting them for violating their EULA agreement- It must be a pretty nice one and EA is desperate after all losing 641 billion and that is billion folks dollars in a single quarter ( According to last years quarterly sales reports posted online along with other corporate entities that demonstrated a loss), which can be attributed to Securom and TSR related asshattery and drastically lowered sales because people didn't have 40-50 USD last year to fill the gas tanks on their cars or pay their mortgages , forget about buying games. They must be pretty desperate for money to violate their own TOS and EULA policies .  Not to mention all the users who won't buy Sims 3.

Yes I would really like to know to since it is my private info that may have been revealed- As per your investigations I highly doubt there are any other than on how to further dig your way deeper into EA's pockets. Would you like some cheese with your ZOMG we are innocent of anything whine- I have some lovely stinky Limburger

Just an info post - checked Shakeshaft current upload over at TSR- Several people had made negative comments about the situation which have been deleted by Admin. Good thing I have several email addresses- left a nasty comment for Google Search about the site which has not been deleted yet

Unfortunately I could not tell you - I have not really paid attention to any of the forums except MTS2 and TSR (past history after my acct runs out)- but I do know that it is the kind of environment that they foster with their FA's and SA's - bribing them to work for TSR etc- it would be a very TSR thing to do to bribe them to pass information to Thomas about what is going on on the free sites- They need not necessarily have been present there at the time- one of the two present who was not poor BuggyBooz could have pm'd or im'd them about the situation etc- and having visited the FA forum once or twice - they do loooovvveee their gossip


On a side note - all Shakeshaft sets that are not temporarily replacing the M&G stuff till someone at a free site gets around to M&G build mode add ons , or isn't currently part of my legacy house are gone from my DL folder, I have downloaded all of Buggybooz' luverly stuff in support of her work, and found alternate re-colors for my Ikea shit at Insim so that I do not have anything to do with this intellectual property thief.

Of course until Delphy figures out what really happened it is all just extrapolation other than the theft of Buggybooz stuff- yes something happened to her profile but until Delphy has 100 % proof - above and beyond the IP addresses which is what he needs to pursue legal proceedings on MTS2 and Buggybooz behalf we can all only theorize especially since we all know that TSR will never admit wrongdoing and will do their damnedest to sweep any evidence of their actions under the carpet with the help of EA
