Title: Oh good grief.
Post by: littlemisspirate on 2007 July 05, 15:04:01
My downloads folder has been lost and needs to be rebuilt.  One of my favorite collections has been the Banana Republic Revival items that the Junipersun forum put together, despite all the shakedown bullshit from Birgit.  I went to her site, and noticed the files were gone.  So I emailed her, requesting the files.

This was her response:

Quote
Hi ******, sorry but I closed the banana section cause the file piracys played a bad game with my traffic. They called on all their members to download my stuff and remove it again and again only for boosting  my traffic.I had to remargin 220€ for my traffic. That´s the reason why my site is momentary closed and I went to TSR. Maybe, one day I´ll upload the banana items at TSR .

Greetings Birgit


So, let me get this straight:

1)  Pirates have nothing better to do than deliberately ruin Birgit's site by sucking away her bandwidth.
2)  It's perfectly okay to hold a bunch of other people's work hostage because you're a greedy Teutonic Twat.
3)  The word "remargin" can be used in contexts I never even dreamed of.  *headdesk*

This probably would make it hella obvious to her who I am, but good God do I not care at this point.

You should control it altogether.  My husband controlled his tongue, and uses non-swearing alternatives.  It's quite a shock to be called a "horrible dog"  :lol: You'd think the swearing would make a difference, but it's the creative unusual ones that really make you sit up and notice.

As for Birgit, well, she's a cocksucker and a motherfucker, (I have taken no such controlling vows) and always comes up with some sob story about how she needs teh moneys.  Now pirates can be to blame for every evil in the world.

You could just email her back and thank her very sweetly for her time - then thank her for the heads up on the pirates.  Say something to the effect that you appreciate her help and you'll see if you can find one of those pirates that would be willing to pass it on to you.  You could even ask her if by chance she knows where you can find the pirates that she spoke of.

Do it!  I would love to see what she would say to you.  :lol:

In the spirit of peer pressure and mindfuckery, I succumbed.  We'll see if she bites.

Post by: Paden on 2007 July 06, 00:49:32
Yeah, go for it! I'd love to see what in the hell she has to say. Or do you think she'd try to come over all ignorant on the chance she might think she'd lose a sale? Idiots and jerks.... "Let's twist the damn thing to make it say what we want to and hit anyone who knows better with a hammer so they can't explain it." There are none so blind as those who will not see...

Post by: littlemisspirate on 2007 July 06, 00:59:23
Who knows how she'll reply?  Based on the letter I sent her and the reply I received, her reading comprehension's as bad as her written expression.  I'd be just as unsurprised if the letter wooooooshes over her head than if she writes back in the midst of some frothing pro-paysite conniption.  Either way I'll be massively entertained.


Title: Oh good grief.
Post by: Lhop on 2007 July 06, 01:17:37
Man oh man, either way, I cannot wait to see what she says.
It'll be just as funny either way, if it goes over her head, well, we'd all have a great laugh at the stupidity of a paysite owner, and if she freaks out, we'll have a great time reading her rant.
Either way it'll be fun for all.
Unless she doesn't reply, that is!

Broomhilda: I know, eh? ;)


LMP: I really wanna know what she says, too--it'll be hilarious.

Do the items referred to actually use the Banana Republic logo? If so it's possible she was told to cease and desist and is just too embarrassed to say as much. Regardless of that, she's full of shit blaming her move to TSSR on pirates. She should have just remargined her bandwidth better.

I don't believe they had the logo on them (could be wrong though).  It was just a bunch of Sims1 furniture redone for Sims2.  It was a pretty nice set, but it actually looked better in Sims1(imo).

The Banana Republic referred to, was a Sims 1 site not to be confused with the retail stores.

There is horrid history of greed associated with the owner of Banana Republic, CosyCole aka CashCole. It was exorbitantly over priced crappy stuff. With the exception of a few items by a creators who's names I can't remember now (some are still around). All of it with a heavy ethnic theme.

Bah sometimes I miss all the drama we had in Sims 1 *sigh*

DAMMIT.  That was the most anti-climactic response ever.  She simply told me that the Junipersun and SimBella forums both have permission to share the files.

Where was the rage?  The idiocy?  The near-incoherent, poorly spelled babbling?  (Although I suppose that describes *all* her written English...)  What a killjoy.

Post by: Duckie on 2007 July 06, 18:25:31
So, you asked her to point you to said pirates and she referred you to Simbella and JuniperSun? *Roffle* Does that mean that Simbella and JuniperSun are pirates in her opinion?

Littlemisspirate/******, you are really a “little” pirate .*lol*


Since I have *no* idea what she meant by that, I simply replied "So?" in response.

She wants you to know that she knows our secret lair, so you (according to her) failed because she has spotted your plan. Tag! Surrender, you're caught.

OH NOES!!!111 They spotted our secret headquarters!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!1111oneoneoneeleven

No, littlemisspirate, you are really a "very big" pirate...What a moron.
But yes, this whole response was quite anticlimactic.  I loved her original reply, telling you to check simbella.

It just goes to show how despicable Birgit truly is. Sending anyone over to Simbella's for any reason is just plain EVIL. From what I hear most of the unfortunates who go in there NEVER come out (they spend the rest of eternity trying to earn happy-happy-brownie points or some shit).

Heh, wow, I guess I'm glad I've never had the pleasure then.
Any site with "Bella" in the name, I won't go to, because I am forced to assume it has something to do with the sims character Bella that all the BBSers won't shut the fuck up about.
I think the happy brownie points thing is a great idea though.  We should do something like that here, like miserable cat piss death star points or something like that.   :lol:  :twisted:

Necromancy is bad, mmkay?

And check Inactive Sites.






And the FAQ.

From the FAQ: (http://phorum.mustnotbenamed.com/viewtopic.php?t=1104)

"NOTE: Some forums have strict rules about sharing free files among their members; while members may have to pay in blood or pride, no money exchanges hands, and they are beyond the scope of this site."

That's a nice way of saying 'we don't have Simbella's stuff.'
