Well...Lyric sure bit her tongue. And pointed people at Exnem's...

The silence from Cyclonesue is deafening yet again she never struck me as a bright apple. How interesting that she mentions a 'willing paid-up friend' in the first place.  :lol:

"Willing paid-up friend" doesn't sit very well with me grammatically.

It sounds awkward and stumbly. D:

I think she just needed to put a comma in there...

'Willing, paid-up friend' makes a bit more sense. Only a bit, mind you.

Hmmm... that is rather amusing. She's being a real good TSR Ambassador there.  :lol:

Shame she wasn't able to point people at everyone's always paid-up 'friends'...

Go back.  Read Cyclonesue's last post.

Apart from the TSR owning her ass thing, I say, good lass.

Why yet another FA has come to play. I wonder does TSR constantly watch this forum? And Sue you have really amazed me! Imagine, the great Cyclonesue signing up at PMBD just to mention my nickname twice! I'm touched or maybe not. I'll leave that to your 'partner' to handle.  :wink:

Never struck you as bright? Hell, I can't even begin conceive of how to make the stuff Cyclone does. Just about everything I've ever seen of hers has been of good quality, and as far as I know she makes all her own meshes. Also, I'm glad to hear that I was right about not every FA being all about making money for TSR :)

Actually though, this sort of opinion from paysite owners and contributors doesn't shock me at all, I've heard from several personally that say they know filesharing happens and don't even really care too much as long as it isn't shoved in their faces the way Pescado does. I think there are many people that have donation files that quietly accept that behind the scenes filesharing will happen, and no big deal. Someone still has to pay for it, after all. It's just when we wave it like a red flag in their faces that they get upset.

So yeah, I think that it is good for us to understand that the paysite owners are just people too, and not big evil monsters. Just like we aren't dirty thieves. Even when our ideology differs, we are all still people trying to enjoy a game and a community.

*edit* Plum, I think that means she mostly lurks :P

Wait, who's her partner?

Cyclonesue I like your stuff.  I really think you should leave TSR, they're gonna suck away your soul.

CycloneSue, I think your work is amazing!  But I won't be subscribing to TSR again unless they reconsider their free download rotation, even though I can easily afford it.

Please please consider sharing your work elsewhere!   I'd even make room for you at simlogical!

She can always join my TSR defectors refuge as well :)  I have two artists currently, and I can't wait for more!

Oh wow! Two already BlueSoup? Fantastic. Yes, yes, make it more.

I'm all for creating and sharing. It's on the delivery end that it gets sticky.

Quote from: "cyclonesue"
Dunno about TSR, but I hang around a lot of forums in 'deafening silence'. ;)


Puh, good practice. Silence is golden...  ;)

It would be nice if FA's weren't all about making money but until they defect from Tom's money trap will I believe that they do not care for making money off of creations that should be shared for free.

If Sue joins the TSR defectors refuge I'll gladly take back my remark about her not being bright.  8)

Cyclonesue I love your stuff. If TSR didn't have you and Windkeeper, ok and a few others, they'd make a lot less money! I hope you get your fair share of the loot! Your perspective on us pirates is refreshingly open. You display a maturity often found lacking in some simmers. I like that too. :)

Hope you hang aorund long enough to learn not all pirates are mean snotty little brats who think everyone should view everything just the same as them.

Come back and stay and make fun/be mean right back at them!
