I don't know if I respect the stance or not.  :?

She's joined up with Exnem, a paysite.


Delphy has found what he considers a 'safe spot' between paysites and filesharers. His stance is that filesharing is wrong and so are paysites. See? A nice safe/neutral area between both sides. Very diplomatic of him.

IMO, if paysites didn't require a 'donation' [read PRICE], if the idea of paying hadn't become as prevalent as it is, the files would be offered for FREE as they should have been since they are made with free programs, mesh importers, tutorials, help, etc. (as I've said from the start and Delphy reiterated in his statement.) Filesharing of 'a piece of a program' because that IS what a package file is, is not even close to 'filesharing'. The term 'filesharing' and the stance that it is 'wrong' came after the spread of pirating of software programs, Phoptoshop, Sims 2 and other games, etc. That to me is 'filesharing.' I can't find anything wrong with sahring a piece of a program, IMO. I'm waiting for a valid argument to change that opinion. Anyone wanna take a shot?

Well said and Exactly right.

A name eh? I'm sure you have tons of ideas. But here's mine: 'Get it while it's hot!'  :lol:

Or this "Hot Mamma's'  :lol:

Well, there you go! Don't mention her on your site other than on items she's made (I would never ever call something mine that I did not make. I do believe whole heartedly that a creator deserves fully to be give the credit for their creations--paid for them? no, given full credit them, oh yes!) When you want to access sites that have banned you use her name on her PC.

I am lucky enough to have internet access at several locations in my city, for instance the libray, so if I get banned and really still want on that site for some reason, I just go and make another profile under another user name.

She's the 'one' unless of course she wants to be recognized as an active part of your site.

If I was putting up a site, I'd feature/display/offer any file I wanted to. IMO, it is firmly established that pay sites are wrong, and wrong in so many ways it isn't funny, and hence their files should be free so why not offer them f you want to, just like JM is doing here, just like SFV does in ther own way? Why not? Just be prepared to read some hate mail and be banned from some sites.  Does the banning really matter if theri is more than one of you? Keep one person 'secret' and use their name and ISP to access the sites that ban you. No big deal. So do what you want. I see nothing whatsoever wrong with this.

I'm afraid I just don't get it. What is the real difference between a free site and filesharing site. I DO see there is a difference, slight, but yes a difference, but to me, in the end analysis they're the same because the end result is the same.

This is a filesharing site. We are not sharing files like Photoshop or Final Cut or Adobe Writer or Sims 2 etc. All of these are clearly off limits, with clear definition, whether I agree with that definition or not...  We are sharing files that can not 'stand alone' and mean nothing outside of the game. We share only files that should have been free in the first place!

Delphy, while defending free sites--YAY! Good all over him, has defended banning people that even mention this site because it is 'filesharing.' This sounds a bit hypocritical of him, doesn't it?  :?

I added my two cents. I doubt it stays there very long tho.  :shock:

If the change was made with an accomanying front page about it, everyone would see it.

I don't know what Franks stance is on this subject. I think probably teadrinker is the 'messenger of choice' here, only one I know for sure that is on this forum and participates on his. ?

Reading through the thread, someone suggested Delphy put a disclaimer on the Meshtool 'no paysites blah blah.' As Delphy pointed out, it would be impossible to inforce or prove.

However, IF there was a disclaimer on SimPE--how could they make an item without using SimPE?  --it would be proven. There may be no 'punishment' but the fact that everyone KNOWs it was made with SimPE and therefore selling the package would be a vilolation of Quaxi's terms of use--that could be enough to deter at least some 'buyers' from buying. ?

Wow! Way to go Delphy!

That is the second phenominally large step in the right direction (JM making the first, of course.)  May many many more site owners follow Delphy's well worded lead.  :lol:

Oh yeah! She said she was nuts, didn't she? Somehting about major depression blah blah blah? IF I remember right anyway...SO--she's just off her meds again  :lol:

Didn't she get married...and lost her job. Both enough to make someone nutty, and completely nuts if they were a little nutty to start with, eh?

Just an observation, not 'sticking it' to anyone, don't want to either.

Just an observation: you remind me of a group of girls back in jr high. You're in a circle at break and some girl you don't know has the audacity to walk on the sidewalk through your circle. How dare she.....
