I was on our SC2 thread, and this link was posted there. It goes to page 2 of simplyelau forum (which anyone can view and read)
http://www.simplyelau.it/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8201&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15
They were talking about this site and all. Good read. Unfortunately I dont think it copy good in the post here, better to follow link. Goes from page 2-4.

Heres the main thread at SC2, its about 59 pages, if your new to the site and not sure what my reference was to. Its long read.

Nids:Yay Nids Lol

Lmao i love how just as soon as Mommy Elua came on they all were like "sorry mommy we wont talk about this again" Two of the people even admitted they were downloading stuff from the booty. And yet they still think we are wrong? If we are so wrong why the hell are you downloading from this site? Gah. Bastards

Now, that is FRIGHTFULLY hypocritical...want to tear some of them a new arsehole? I do...

I'm with Nids. Nids didn't do anything wrong, yet Elau warns her. And then Elau goes and calls them babies - yeesh. I lost a lot of respect for her.

I joined just to agree with simsfunk; her point seemed very valid, and very true. If she happens to log onto the phorum and see this post - very well put, Emma.

Most the people in the thread sounded like they were very young, kind of impressionable. She (Elau) was like bullying em. If I was nid I'd leave her forum not stay.

I didnt see page 1, the thread starts about this site but on page 1 ELAU says:
Thank you so much guys  
and don't worry Juudjuh___x ...

Yes, SIMply elau is not a paysite, not an e-shop, not a profit for me.
We offer many files, hosting, our support and help for free.

I can understand the reasons that makes them act so, maybe yes, some sites make a huge amounts of money selling their donation gifts..
But guys, if we don't like a thing, we can decide to boycott it. I really think that a successful boycott is the best way to hurt something.
Give all the pay-files to the world for free is not the best solution.

I don't know if I have the copyright of my sims creations but what I ask is only a help and the respect of my work.

That people want to share my files? Contact them is useless?
No problem, SIMply elau won't close and maybe other people will appreciate and will support what we do.

She says. Thats because she'd loose money.

Boy, do I love the sims grapevine.

This is the hot topic of the day, very entertaining read.

Um you do that =] I just shoot them with a bb gun while they are down  8) Teamwork. So Nice.  8)  


Man i wish it wouldn't have ended at page 4 that was a good little cat fight the  mod and nids were having. Did you notice how after everyone started agreeing with Nids Elua left but the mod was still there defending her Mommy?




Gah! I wish i had an account on there so i could go in there and tell all those ignorant sheep that the booty is only down for a while  :roll:  But it will be SUPER funny when they try to link again and it works. Poor ignorant annoying sheep

BB guns are fun. ^^^ I've had good experiences with them. Namely shooting pellets into BB gel. ^^^


That's what daughters are for. They're supposed to love their mummies. Therefore this little girl (I'm assuming she's female, because son doesn't sound nearly as good) is obviously just looking up to her mummy and trying to enforce mummy's ideals.

Aww, that's so sweet. Little miss mod, defending her mommy. Happy family photo op!

Why can't Vivi just drop it? I mean, she's not getting anywhere. :roll:

What people fail to notice is that when you are buying products from a site (such as a mesh from Pegy) you are purchasing a product.  What you do with that product after you purchas it is up to you.  

It's like purchasing cigarettes, they can tell you not to smoke while you're pregnant but how many people do you know that still smoke while preggers?

It's an ITEM and I don't think it's correct that Carla Niven or anyone else for that matter can dictate to me what I do with that item once I purchase it. (not that I'd purchase her useless ugly junk anyway)

btw...I just had to add:
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n191/InstantNoodles-/DifferentOpinionPolice.gif)

Yeah, they really like to kiss each others arses on Simply Elau. Absolutely everywhere.

-snicker-
Totally true.

Does anybody know where i can get the Avatar that says i support free sites? I would like to put it up on my S2C account

LOL yes you got it correctly. Freedom of expression, is dissention, dangerous, a no no. If you start thinking for yourself I cant scam or contrl you anymore. 8)


Red go to the second thread i posted at the top of the forum, last page. hysterical Paroxysm made it. You can DL the 90x90 too which work with thorums format, they are on the same post by her. :)

Hell yesh.
*goes to find phone to ring up police and complain about moronic individuals*

This site is full of drama queens. When I need a good laugh, I just read some post. Most of the moderators are babies in there. And some members think they own the place lol. And seriously, if this site close...who will care, excepts these babies?!?!

Yay! for Nids!

Hah she closed the forum temporarily

I was trying to add to my post (the last one)

OMG!!! lollll

Their forum must have descended into an uncontrolled hell of opions that don't mix

http://www.simplyelau.it/forum/index.php

noodles your avatar very fitting...gee maybe it was the bad karma she was talking about returning. :evil:  8)

Oh yeah, because freedom of speech is a privilege unless you're mummy bear. '


Doesn't like criticism comming from her babies much?

Lmao There is no freedom of speech in the sims 2 community except here. Everywhere else we have some ignorant scared little sheep that don't wanna upset the balance of this "perfect" community  :shock:

some people are so dense. I'm glad I found this site before I wasted any of my $.

Silly people. Don't you know that the fansite forum exists solely to heap praises on the creator? Actual opinions are dangerous, and have been scientifically proven to cause thinking.

You need to go back to internet school.

I agree with you 100 %. I mean if the sheep actually thought who would the paysites and forum admins get there money and praise from?

Touche, baby.

I think part of the problem is the average age of Sim forum members, at 25 I find myself feeling ancient in comparison.  When you have a forum full of children, you get a forum full of childish reactions and "tattling"

I wouldn't advise it. We don't want someone getting hospitalised due to overexertion.

:cry: the forum's down....  did anyone make a copy? :D

I'm going to say it before someone else chips in. Don't take offence. :wink:
There is no 25. There is 24. You remain 24 until you turn 30.


I wanna see too. :lol: Sounds like masses of fun. I never actually got around to looking at it. :P

Oh, no - individualism, and thinking!? The sheer horror of it all causes my brain to implode! :lol:

Bah. Elau is a babeh. Geesh, closing a forum temporarily 'cause of individualism.

Well the sheep may have something here. Sometimes I don't think =] It's quite fun actually to just sit...and not think....but then again i don't try to do anything when im not thinking. And we can't blame all of this stupidity and lack of thinking on the sheep. Some of the paysite owners we have today aren't to smart themselves coughcarldrewcough

I think it's more than "some". More like... 94%? -casts accusing glance at Peggy and Rose, slaving away at making neon red hair colours- :P

Lord save me from rose and peggy's "natural" hair recolors

Does that mean I get to turn 24 next month instead of 26  :shock: oh joy of all joys.

Aww, lay off the poor girlies. They're from Asia. Asians have some bizarre affinity with lurid hair colours. Not their poor faults. They just don't seem to have grasped the fact that the world doesn't love pink instead of red...

 :shock:  Okee What? Where did this come from >.> Confused <.<

yes...it's pescado's counting...there are only 6es!!!!!  if you are 15, you are 12; 41 then 36...so on and so forth :D

ps the older you get the nicer this system is ;)

FOr the amount of money they expect people to spend to buy their shiznit you bet your bootay they oughta learn what we Westerners like when we ask for red hair!

Crap, I'm still 16? There goes the legal drinking age.

Exactly! When I pay $20 for hairs - I expect RED, not some freakish pink colour! :roll:

I still can't understand why the concept of natural hair colors hasn't "clicked" with them yet.
I could care less what neon vomit inducing colors they like over there.
Most Asian people I see have lovely black hair, and Rose and Peggy can't even seem to create a decent version of black.

I know theirs always looks blue or a dark gray

There's one that's fucking purple! And all her browns are yellowy and her reds are neon and don't get me started on the blondes.  :evil:

For some reason she puts brown in the black bin also.

Ugh, hate the hair colors. What really pisses me off, is I can change them to real reds and real blacks in two seconds flat, using a free paint program I downloaded off the internet.

And then you have to ask them if you can upload a RECOLOR of a file you PAID for I mean come on. It doesn't really make sense I mean: I bought it. So now its mine. They get all pissy and whiny when you make a better recolor of their shitty hair. They should be greatful anybody even wants to recolor the hair

I've noticed and i find it annoying

I wonder if we could post better recolours of hair when the new site comes up, or even just fixes of the current ones?

Yup. I have her your (ViolentDucky) Peggy red recolours in game. Heckuva lot better than Pegy's reds. :wink:

=O Why didn't i know about these? I want I want  :shock:  Pease?

Lmao ANYTHING is better that peggy's hair colors

Gosh, good thing Elau didn't get down to 50%!


Not specifically to you, your message was just handy to quote.
I don't especially care- if it bothers me, I just make my own recolor.

But several reasons why this is so:
1. The Sims is out in Asia, so Westerners aren't their only audience.
2. When Asians dye their hair, they have to bleach it first. That gives bright colors instead of natural reds and blondes.
3. Lots of people do like the brights, for anime, cartoon/comic, punk or alien sims.
4. Purple and grey are often used instead of black in anime/manga, because Asians have predominantly black hair. One color for everything is boring, and makes the characters more difficult to tell apart. Note that Rose in particular has lots of anime and game characters on her page- that's what she likes for her sims.
American comics are the same way- if you look at the highlights, Superman's hair is actually blue or sometimes green.
5. Following that, how many people do mouse brown? That's the predominant natural haircolor for Westerners, but you don't see it very often...because it's the most common. Same thing follows.
6. It doesn't seem to have hurt their pay rate, so why should they change?

None of this would be an issue if they'd just freely allow recolors. Hopefully part of the "everyone should share!" bit will evolve into a lack of toterance for people who have a stupidly restrictive ToS.

Willie, I think we got little snippets of it at the beginning, but not the whole forum...I got the last page here it didn't get closed before she went down. She was apoligising here:

I don't see the difference between free items and so called "hard worked pay items", they're just the same but a price tag was added to it. That's speaking in general.

And may I say, it's not like Nids and the 'other dude' we're saying that they were downloading Elau stuff. Chill darlings.

that was last page.

It wouldn't bother me nearly as much or probably not at all if they included some decent natural colors too.
Or at least allow others to recolor them.
But I also recolor it when necessary.

No, unless you're 18, you're still 12.

Only multiples of 6.

Lmao. I think im the only one that finds this funny. Not in a mean way thought....just in a funny way. I know in another thread Blue you posted "Nobody is 16. Your only 12" Everytime i read a post like this i think of my grandmother and how she always seems to think im 3 years younger than what i really am

FYI! I am Zatanna from the simplyelau forum. Yes I admitted downloading from here. I do it all the time. The only reason I backed down was because I wanted the warning taken off of my name. So I am sneaky! I think elau is a dumb ass! :twisted: I agree with nids!

Really sneaky.  Somehow I think if this Elau chick reads the forum, you won't be losing the warning :p

 :lol:

8) welcome Zantanna. looks like she took the forum down to, when she found out she had a lot of lurkers(more than one site). She probably deleted the whole thread. Then if that case if its nonexistant, you should have no warning against you. If it was me. I wouldn't want to stay in her forum being how she is. looks like though she has no site or forum group. I dont generally go to her site. I agree with Blue she probably monitors us, so has seen this thread, you really are better off out of there IMHO.

She wont, because she's a "working mother" who has too much "respect" to do that kind of thing. She's an asshole, and if I could knock VIVI out right now I would. Here name makes me think of my vagina.

edit: Oh and I should add that on her forum I said "but I didn't download anything donation from simply elau" Well I hella lied. I download almost everything from simply elau!



hmmm, maybe. But I'll see how it goes. she hasn't even updated her site in 4 months. She's too stupid :evil:

Your vagina...Wooo did we really need to know that lmao. And wow you must really not like elua



LMAO your screwed. Because i know that atleast some of the paysites owners come in here sometimes. and if she sees a thread with her site name as the title she's going to investigate. I hope you don't care about your account at elua

I think she's arrogant and full of herself. she thinks she's some big shot because she owns a sims 2 website with second rate stuff on it :twisted:

To do what Zantanna, not following your thoughts here< she'd just ban you thats all from the forum. Her forum is closed, I think it will be down for while. So don't worry about it. It was her problem anyway, I think at the beginning here, I posted a comment made from the first page. well if she didn't consider herself a paysite, why'd she get all in huff, and close down. I mean it kind of reminds me of Sshodan getting bent out of shape cause someone converted her guy hair to women, so she was going to pull all her stuff and punish everyone. Except they don't get it! Theres lots of people that love to create stuff, new people, that are not always egocentric, that may be better than them at creating and do it just for fun.

And there are a lot of people who already have there stuff and are willing to share  :twisted:

I haven't read all the thread, but I think Zantanna acts very strange (http://forum.jungle.ee/style_emoticons/default/buttlick.gif). In my mind this kind of behavior is not very smart.
Concerning Elau - I really like her forum :) There are so many funny people there :) Especially in "your works" section :) If you're uploading a total crap, they are still saying that it is wonderful and that they are going to download it right now, but the download counter is still showing zero :lol: And some people upload wrong files, but no one will tell them, that the file is not showing up in the game :)  
About Elau's donation files I can only say, that I don't think that they are worth paying. No, I don't say, that they are crappy or something, but they are really average.

Seconded!

Fixing the hair and making better recolours would be wonderful!
I mean, she made the hair, so nobody can fix it (the colour or mesh) but since she refuses to do it, nobody can. WTF?!?!

If I remember correctly I think some people do that on MATY...and include the mesh ;)  but i could be wrong it's been a while

Hmm, it changed now to just "This forum is closed". The site also looks taken down, there's just the logo. Strange, a little too sensitive about pixels?

I hope so. I love red hair -- not RED red, or even PINK red, but red. As in auburn, or deeper -- even a bit bottle red, but not NEON GLARING PINK/RED.

Same goes for brown, blonde (oh god, PLEASE get rid of the YELLOW), and black.

I third Rage's comment.

It doesn't look like server problems they had lately.
It looks like "if you don't want my pay files, then you won't get anything from me". But Elau is a grownup and I hope she won't act like a little girl.  I really hope she has some serious reason to close her site.
But if it is because of the discussion of pay files, then the big disrespect goes to Elau  :?

Woot! Thirdage! I can't mesh at all, but I can do very basic recolours, so if there was a place to put them, I'd be willing to tone them down, if someone would fix the mesh.

And as regards Elau, to me it seems a little too much of a coincidence that she gets huffy over the Unspeakable Evilness, and then her site mysteriously goes down. She's doing a Changeri, if you ask me.

Thats what I saw yesterday, I did a search, it was like fone. All this over a silly argument? A little too weird for me. Elau has problems, she needs to go see a therapist. IMHO

Zantanna didn't acts strange at all!?!?!



That's why I do think that this forum is a kindergarten. Seriously, I wish that those members are not going to transfer their stupidity to some forums that I go...

There are some excellent recolours of Peggy and Rose hairs up on SFV - under Giving Tree I think, if you are looking for some.

Fourthed!!!

Of, like every hair in the world! :P Especially Pegy and Rose (I have those giving tree hairs). :wink:

So, what happened over at Elau's, exactly? I'm hearing snippets about mommies and babies and hypocrisy, but that's about all I can gather...apart from the unrealistic hair thing, of course...:D

What is SFV again?  I'm still learning the acronyms  :oops:

Sims File Vault :)

I don't feel I acted strange. I just said what I thought :D

http://forum.simsfilevault.com/

Some of the sheep mentioned this site and that they downloaded from it occasionally. Mommy elua came in and fussed at them for downloading. So like the good little children they are they said "yes mommy." Nids spoke against Elua and received a warning. One of the sheep Mods then proceeded to argue with nids. (p.s we like nids xD) I refered to Elua as "Mommy" and the sheep as her "CHilluns" and everyone just kind of went with it xD So yea thats it. And oh yea Elua took the forum down. You know she cant have her chilluns disobeying her or thinking now don't you? :D

From my reckoning, that deserves a killmark.  

She may get zombified, but the site is still dead.  No payfiles available.

This isn't the first time Elau has yanked her site out of anger at people disagreeing with her.  In the last year I know of two other occasions, one of which lasted nearly two weeks.

 

That must wreak havoc on her bank account!  :lol:

People are always getting in fights there usually in the section to show your creations. I'm glad that Nids went against Elau, it was about time someone did.

Why would she yank her site?  That doesn't make any sense.  Shut the forums down, ok.  but the SITE?

I am kind of getting sick of the prima-donnas in this community.  I'd shut my site down in protest, but no one would care ;)  Well, maybe Carlew would care, one less person to steal from.

Elau bugs me. I've sent her emails and she's pretty good about replying and being all luffly.
But still. Her site was down only like 2 weeks ago...

Dour, if you had read the forum thread ELAU was bevaving very childish. I dont know how old she is, but maturity is an issue for her. Like one said above all this site pulling must wreak havoc on her bank account.

dumb bitch elau closed her site. One little fight and then she claims she all the sudden doesn't have time for the site and closes it. what a looser :evil:

Totally. What a butthole Elau is. I mean; it's called banning? Yes, that would be unfair stupid banning, but still...CLOSING THE SITE? Gah. My respect for Elau just got flushed down the toilet. :x

I didn't get a chance to read the thread at elau.  I went to the store, and whe I came back this thread was already to page 3 or 4.  By that time the forum was down.  *shrugs*  I got the jist of what happened from reading here though.  

Zatanna, where did she say that she didn't have time for her site?

I knew she was going to pull one of those.

She doesn't have time for the site? Well it's not like she updates or anything/

On the front page.
http://www.simplyelau.it/

Wow. I just like how she did it without any notice to anybody on the forum, you know, like mods.

:!: This one is definitely a killmark. The very mention of the STMNBN started a firestorm of controversy, resulting, ultimately, in the demise of SimPly Elau! (I am talking like a sportscaster now. Excuse me.) Not too shabby!


(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/Judfer/elau.jpg)

Well I certainly didn't expect that

hmmm well skeptical since she has a pattern of closing and opening. Well if she uploads to MTS2, I'd believe it.

HA!  Drama.

Well, I sure came late to the party.  Never got to read the forum posts that prompted all of this at Elau's site.  My question is that if she was going to close the site for the reasons that she stated in SparklePlenty's post, then why all of the arguing and drama in her forum before closing (which seriously, I wish that I could have read)?  Why not just say that you are closing the site and then do it?  Otherwise, she just took herself down with it.

Oh well, I never found the stuff there that awesome, even though there was still the OMG UR AWESOMFRE!!!!!@3431111 plastered everywhere. I remember her mentioning that there wouldn't be anymore donation gifts in the thread... I think she mentioned something about paypal or donatons or something. So does this mean another death? Then again, she's not really a pay site...

The final irony?  Check out what Vivi said in another post on another site, the chick is totally two-faced *sniffle*



And yet she found it necessary to argue with Nids over whether she was right and stick up for Mommy Elau
*edited bcs I was too dumb to realize one must be registered to read Vivi's comment

can you post it noodles, you have to joint the forum to access it.

See above my friend, copied and pasted :twisted:

Thanks noodles.

Why she puts down paysites, sounds like she pro Peggy &Rose. very mixed up statement.

ugh ... vivi isn't pro-rose or pro-peggy i'd like to think she can like a site without being a hypocrite, i'll admit im a huge hypocrite when it comes to this .. ive been considering adding a PPL donate pack and use the money as a gift to elau and ashes for hosting me but i just didn't mainly as i dislike pay sites... im starting to think this is getting kind of out of hand O_o mainly as people are picking sides now ? ? before it was just like i file share .. now its i file share i hate you you you and you ... oh well and i think its kind of rude to say well elau is just being a so and so .. w.e  .. shes been considering closing her site down for awhile and also elaus site IS very expensive its costs her about 125$ every month to keep it up her site as well poisonpinklemons, i think maybe this is where i am a huge hypocrite i feel awefull to see elaus things here but for some reason its alright to upload peggys? i guess im not turning on you guys ;D i love this site and fourm and i wish i was more active haha XD if you actually read all this thanks for valuing my opinion, lol

So with her closing down Elau what does it mean for PPL?  I really like PPL :D

I'm not really sure yet i don't want to close the site but using free filehosts can be a pain , not only on me but also the downloaders, i dont know yet though

There might be some people here who could help you :D  *looks around at the others*

I didn't realize that PPL was part of Elau O.o

Oh, Miguel, I hope you don't shut down!! I, like Will, love PinkPoisonLemons VERY much (partially because the first story I wrote that was a huge success was called Pink Poison, and when I discovered this site I was like, oh my goddess this HAS to be my theme site! ^^ :lol: ). It has many very good outfits and I use them in my game a lot. I'm very glad you're opposed to paysites though. ^^
I'm using a Yahoo!Briefcase to host my files. Maybe you could do that? I don't think you need a Yahoo! account to download them, and even if you did it's not hard to get one. Yahoo! accounts are permanent after all; they don't run out like hotmail ones. Plus some of your links don't lead to files *cry* and I'd love to get some of the stuff I can't download...

Don't frett, if you need somewhere to host your files someone will come through for you.  You can use my old server if nothing else.  Its free and it's mine indefinatly, plus I'm not using it anymore and it's got lots o space.  I'll offer it as a last resort because you will find that the address name is long and bothersome to type.  Not a big deal if it's only to host your clothing files though.

Aww Miguel don't let it be the end of your site. Your site is one of the sites i visit most often for clothes

Yeah just host with me or Dour. No problem!

Yep, I can try to work something out with you too, Miguel.

Miguel, I'm sure you'd be an amazing addition to Nouk's site or Dour.  Your creations are quite popular here and elsewhere and they are much better than Carla Niven's of course *wink*  Not everyone here has "chosen sides" I think what you run into is the fact that most people are sick and tired of crappy-ass sites asking for donations for reasons other than to keep themselves running (take OpenHouseJack for example *shudder* and I'm NOT going to post the link to that 'cause it's NASTY - just don't d/l any of his stuff unless you LIKE funding purchases of dirty jock straps off ebay).  It was just awfully coincidental that the moment someone pointed out her donations were offered for free and she called Nids a "baby" and then both Nids and Vivi descended into a cat-fight that she shut down her site.  Stating it's because she's no longer interested in Sims doesn't really fly.

I've got space too if you can't get anything better!

I like people like you. :wink: I know I couldn't have said it that way. ^^

I didn't think you were pro-paysites, it seemed quite clear to me that you were against them. It was just the whole discussion that made it seem peculiar, I suppose.

I agree with everyone. I hope PPL doesn't close. It's one of my favorite sites :D

What's PPL?  :?

Poision Pink Lemons. (http://ppl.abandonedgarden.com/)

Ooo I see. Merci !

No no no! PPL cannot close! It's one of my very favorite sites!

I don't think we have to worry about that since Elau closed her site after you and Nids got in that catfight over the whole filesharing/baby thing :idea:

I WANT KILLMARK!! *stamps foot*

errhm i just finished talking to elau today and just for the uhm i forgot the word.. record??

SimplyElau closed because she's found alot of work with companies which is why the iste wasnt updated since september the fight was pretty much the last straw i think simply elau closing was inevitable

you guys are so great :)!!! you really made my day :D ! im pretty sure everyhting will end up working for the best ive got until june to work everything out :]

YAY!!!! :D

I just thought of this. If Simply Elau is dead, does that mean Sim Guys is gone too? :shock:

*snort* Sounds like they were filesharing babies or something.

heh, it's the one and only nids. :]

 :lol:

welcome Nids :)

Thankies!

hi Nids!

Um...  :oops: Sorry well, you can think of a pornstarr when you say my (real) name. so that pretty much means vagina, right? so I guess we are even
 :D

I'm a little surprised you guys don't think elau is going to keep her site closed O_o. ahh trust me simplyelau isn't coming back

Try being 36 ;)

54

WOOT! Hey! I got something right at last! Although... I'm having trouble remembering exactly what I put :lol: and now Elau has gone and closed everything down so I can't remember! but THANKS!

I know this topic is pretty much done with now, but I have to admit, I can't quite believe how much Elau overreacted to the news of this site... and I really can't believe she hadn't heard of you all before now! But she turned on her friends very quickly, so in my opinion, better off without.

Darn malaysians, paypal, the global warmth, and everything!!
This site and MATY go up and down continuously, to me; I've had to actually PLAY the sims, to find a bit of entertainment in these days!!! :P

And I missed all the drama, oh, well. Plus, I realize only now that Elau is an italian site  :shock:. I really have lived under a rock or something.
Anyway, I'm gonna email her (writing in my own language is kinda relaxing, you know).

48

37,  so in Pescado's world I still get to be 36, wait, that's not much better!  :P

I feel like a baby next to all you, um, forgive me for this, old people. I don't mean it like that.  :wink: All teenagers think that anybody over 24 is old.  :lol:
In Pescado years, I'm 12. I'll be 18 in just less than 9 months.  :wink:  8)

Not old!

'All'? You should only speak for yourself, as I have met a few teenagers who aren't quite that disconnected from reality.

we got ones in the forum here that I wouldn't of known their age, had they told us. to me, they dont act like CHILDRUN  :D . Many adults even up to their 60-70s have maturity issues.

Yeah, my grandma in almost 90, and she is incredibly immature. It makes life hard sometimes, when you feel that you have to respect her for her age, but you cannot because the way she acts. :(

I'm 30, BTW.

I agree, That's not old. 27-29 is borderlining old.

Are you serious?  My Nana is 70, and I don't think she's old at all.  She doesn't act old.  Plus she can bench me and probably still kick my ass.  :P

geesh Im almost another year older, dont want to fess up. I have lots of grey, not have the wrinkles though.

Uhhh you better be kidding.  29 is not old.  45 is not old.  60 is old.

Well right now. Anthing in late 20s sounds old to me. But I'm sure that will change when I'm that age :D

*BOL!*

Oh, honey. Growing up is going to come to a terrible shock to you, I'm sure.  :lol:

Dont want to scare you kidders but heres a preview:
35 is the turning point..hard to stay up all night
grey hair  one or two, maybe a wrinkle or two

42 more of the above
except now you have gravity issues
than theres your eyes they start going

One thing is perceptions change big time. When you were say 18 even 24 was old. When you hit your 40s anyone under 21 kid. I remember when President Clinton was in office lol I thought oh he's not that old. Old for me would be 72 and up.

Hope that made sense.

I had a noticeable grey streak at 27.  People suddenly started asking me if I had been painting the ceiling!

Don't worry, I have silver hairs.  :lol:

Renatus: Oh, don't be ridiculous.  :lol: I didn't actually mean it, silly!!! ^^^ 8) However, I DO know people who think that.

If those ages are old, then my parents are old...

The best thing is this though: my brother (he's 18) thinks that nobody over 18 should play sims, because it's a kids game. Stupid. I keep telling him he's silly!! ANYONE can play the sims. ^^

Okay, good to know. I thought you seemed too smart for that nonsense! Unfortunately I am very literal and can't always tell when someone is saying something to be silly, or saying it because they mean it - especially as I've also known people who think like that. Hell, we have one right in this thread!



Haha. Sounds like he's subscribed to the hypothesis that ADULTS don't do anything silly or involving make-believe, ever. Shows what he knows.  :lol:

lol, that sounds like him. :lol: He does think adults should be serious. :wink:

And don't worry. ^^ I take some things literally too. I try not too though. :lol: And yay, you think I'm smart!! Someone thinks I'm smart!! *giggles* 8)  :P



*quoted for proof and for awesomeness*


...who's the one in this thread?

See? ;) Apologies Zatanna if you were also just being silly, but if you weren't, LOL again!

I was serious lol.  :D

Oh dear! *Pats Zatanna on her head.*
You'll learn, young one, you'll learn. :lol:

I'm 30 and I don't feel old.
Then again, people in their 20's seem somewhat immature to me.
Not all, though, but most of them.  :lol:

:D  :D  :D

I can't wait until I'm 18. Then I'll feel semi-old :D

Me too. :lol:

:lol:

When you're my age, if you remember this conversation, you'll blush so hard! :lol:

lol! Maybe. But I find most things I say embarrassing anyway. :wink:

:lol:

Me too most of the time :lol:

Awww, they're so cute lol.

Seriously,though:
No, you won't.  I'm 19, in college and with a job, and I still go "wait, I'm too young to be worrying about income taxes!" on a regular basis.  Especially when looking at the tax & SS deductions on my tiny paycheck *winces*.  Even apartment-hunting is strangely surreal - I don't feel old enough to be doing this!

I'm almost 24, married for nearly 5 years, and sometimes I wake up thinking, "Wait, where did the last 6 years go?"

My friend had her firstborn at 32. When I heard of it, my first thought was: "OMG! A teen mom!"

That's better than when I lived in utah. Everyone 18  was married with with at least 1 kid. :shock:

I'm 24, and I still think "I'm too young for a real job to be manditory!"  But most people WILL NOT agree with me there ;) lol.

Woo welcome to the forum im glad you joined us.

And personally I think you're only old if you feel old. If your 71 and you feel like you are 17 hell you're young to me xD

Man, I'm 19 and I feel ancient.
I said 'when I was young' the other day, and I find fashion today bizarre. I've even started knitting.

*waits for blue to come in with her "everyone is 12" speech* I love that speech  :shock:

I'll be 23 in March and I have my "old days". LOL Sometimes I feel like everyone's mother. I've already moved past that 'Wooohooo! Party all night and drink like a fish stage' long ago.
I went out with some friends one night to a night club and felt ancient, practically everyone I talked to was only 18.

You know what's worse?

When the awful things that were in fashion when you were a kid come back and they are even more awful than you remembered! :shock:

Luckily the mullet fad didn't stick.

That's really true, IME. Some of the sharpest, most with-it people I know are older than my mother. On the other hand, you want really, truly old? Go volunteer in a nursing home that has a high proportion of dementia patients. That'll quickly teach you what old really is.



But fashion today IS bizarre.

Knitting doesn't work as a proof of agedness anymore as it's exceedingly trendy amongst college students and the young art crowd.

Please dont misunderstand my post it was suppose to be funny. I guess it scared you all! Seriously, I dont feel my age either! I cant even remember exactly how old i am and dont care :).

I'm only 13 xD  :lol:

Um is that elau on MTS2 an imposter or the real elua? If they arent the real elua i think they are uploading all of her files to MTS2 ? xD

naww, it's the real Elau. She said she was going to be uploading everything there..

I saw that. 8)

I'm 18 for 5 more months, then I get to be 24. It's very exciting, ima be a proper grownup!

But it's almost scary. One of my friends has a new girlfriend, who is actually 18, and the first time I met her, I was cheerfully chatting away about the early 90s, interspersed with the occasional 'holy shit, was that really 15 years ago?' and I got quite the poking from my friend for embarrassing his new girlfriend, and making her feel like a baby and him a cradle-snatcher. It was great.

but but but....

Dammit Nids, now I fee old. And you dont LOOK 13 at all. Your father must be worried.

Why would simguys not come back? did elau host Dave as well?

Surely not, since Simguys has had "bandwidth exceeded" for the past week or so.  I'm curious where you got that info too?

Elau's 404'ing for me now.

elau hosted simguys too ;)

and ... im 15 :]

For a 15 year old you are a talented designer. I like your site.
I wonder what will happen to Simguys? He was one of the few free sites dedicated strictly to guy stuff.

That is still 12. You are both officially warned for failing to convincingly pretend to be older than 12.

Damnit i'm aging 6 years in 3 months that really sucks!  

 :cry: I hope simguys can find another host!

Miguel: WOW, really? You ROCK then!!!

Yeah, I loved SimGuys, too. *cwies for them*

9 months (minus 6 days) for me. I keep saying that, but it's true. 8)

i just turned 18 for the fourth time, apparently.

If anyone has not yet seen Elau's meshes appearing on MTS2 I can tell you they are appearing, and her policy states that you can't put recolours on paysites.

Looks like we have another convert.

Lol! How ironic!

lol? why is that ironic? she had all her meshes for free and one of her 2 paymeshes for free aswell

i dont see them yet...who's putting them up?



(oh, i thought he meant someone was maliciously sharing her stuff on mts2, not just her putting up her own creations.)

elau is.

I really Hope sim guys comes back. And I agree with everyone. Miguel is awesome!

I will be 27 in 1 month and 4 days, and I am not old, lol.  I had my baby when I was 20, but I don't make pay content to feed him.   :D

That's good to hear! :D

Hey look it's Janelle. ;)

HI NIDSY!

(gnomes. :twisted:)

Um, Hi Janelle. I like your avatar :mrgreen:

She converted :D Alls well that ends well. 8)

who is janelle?

I have no idea :lol:

i'm just some random person. Nids and I know each other from another forum, that's all.

edit: and thank you, Zatanna, it's my self-sim! Expect a more Pirate-appropriate avatar to come as soon as I stop being lazy about it.

Cool! It's really cute :D

Maybe we shall send the gnomes here...x :lol:

Hmm. That is intriguing. However, they're more likely to stone us to death here for cluttering up posts with talk of the gnomes.

I say, we keep them under wraps for now...perhaps they'll pop up here and there whenever someone deserves to be eaten in a slow and painful manner... :twisted:

Texas chainsaw masscare: Gnome style!  :lol:

Please, just tell me that the gnome thing is NOT related to any Warhammer stuff! I hate Warhammer XD.

*runs off to bash some goblins with her warrior gnome character*

Gnomes are Scary!

I hate Warhammer most!! *glares at the literally £1000s worth of Warhammer/40k stuff lying around my house* Fucking eBay.

Haha no, it's not. lol.

Gnomes?  Are they like trolls?

Gnomes....It's the thing thats in all the travalocity commercials. They things wierd people put in their yard

Those little knome yard guys and the flamingo yard deco, you guys must go to the garden center in real life much. Though these you more find in over decorated yards, mostly older folks, that have his huge ugly collection, which is a neighbohood eyesore here in America. If they are stolen more like a tormented neighbor worried about declining property value. 8)

OMG Did you know there is an international organization that "frees" lawn knomes. Yep they kidnap(steal) them from people houses and set them "free" I bout pissed myself laughing when I was reading that article

*sigh* I KNOW what gnomes are.  I meant the specific gnomes Nids was referring to, and trolls in the style of Vultard et al.  (i.e. people that "troll" a forum...)

The garden gnome thing seems to originate in Finland (or so claim the Finns I've talked to). Their fairies are traditionally little people with high peaked caps... gnomes! The garden gnomes I've seen here are pretty cute, usually carved out of wood and carefully painted.

My mother's got this book about gnomes (http://www.amazon.com/Gnomes-Wil-Huygen/dp/0810909650/ref=pd_sim_b_1/104-9574881-7862367). I always found it terribly creepy, for some reason...

that book is creepy and adorable at the same time, if such is possible...

The gnomes here in America are cheap plastic or badly painted stone affairs that most people would love nothing more than to blow up.

hehe... blowing up gnomes...  thanks for the visual noodles :)

I remember there was an episode of "Goosebumps"(when the book was made into a television series) in which the gnomes came to life.
Still wasn't as good as "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

I remember the Goosebumps computer game, Escape from Horrorland, my cousin had it, we whiled away a couple of long summer days playing it in a darkened room, and in an isolated case of mass hysteria, scaring ourselves shitless...My cousin, who is a few years younger than me, spent a lot of time screaming and cowering on the floor under my legs, the first time we played it...

(http://mackat.dk/upload/gnomes.jpg)

I never knew there was a Goosebumps game.
The only game I've ever really played is Sims.
I tried to play Kingdom Hearts and hated it after maybe an hour.
Probably cause I sucked at it and thought it was corny.

I am so scared. Seriously I say this and about pissed on myself.

The only one that creeps me out is the one that's looking at me.
He looks like a creepy little perv.

Thing with the Goosebumps game was, my cousin and I tended to get seriously absorbed in games when we were younger...

As for the gnomes, that one in middle bakground, with the red trousers, is trying to look up my skirt, and I don't trust his nose. Bloody bearded miniature perverts.

Gnomes are evil. They kind of remind me of the movie "Children of the corn" (don't ask, if you do I can't garentee you'll understand)

I work in a store that has a toy department so all children are children of the corn in my opinion.

:lol: Meanie! But I'm pretty much the same. I love kids until they turn about 5 then I'm through with them until they turn 15(or are mature and don't act like those annoying little kids that play dumb ass jokes and then laugh when nobody else is laughing )  :evil:

I little little babies the best. 2-5 is HORRIBLE, but 6 and older is fine :D

The newborns are adorable.
But beginning at 6 months, they're just awful little hell spawns.
First they don't stop crying.
Then if you teach them to talk, they don't stop begging.

:lol:

Well my little cousin she's about 1 and a half. I love that little girl to death. She can talk a little but she's not annoying at all. She's pretty much willing to do whatever you do. She's even down with taking naps when I want her too. I mean what more can you ask for  :wink:

I know!!! When my neice first learned to talk, all she knew was: Give me a Barbie. It was so annoying!

I love 6-8 year old girls, and that's about it. Little boys, about 3 or 4, love me though, for some stupid reason.

Thats why my husband and I have a dog.

And I don't even like that dog.  lol.  All he ever does is put his nasty nose on the soles of my feet when I cross my legs. Grrr.  Eats my nice things, and ruined the carpet.  It's like having a child really, except when they die after 10 years no one asks any embarassing questions.

"what do you mean you put Billy down?!"

*edited to clarify that I don't like the DOG, I adore my husband. :D

lol indeed. It sounded as though you were talking about your husband.

How are you and Rover coping without him?

edit: I can't spell.

I have a niece, she never cried unless she's hungry or her nappy needed a change.   I guess it's because she was the first child of my sister, and she was surrounded by adults all the time.  I don't think I ever saw her speak baby talk; she always tried her best to speak like an adult.  I had doubts about her; I thought she's weird for being so quiet.  She even bit me when I tried spoon feeding her when she was a toddler, apparently she liked to hold the spoon herself.    The second baby is a different story though.  He is quite an irritating bugger, I was with them in an almost two hour flight, he cried all the way to the airport and until we arrived in our relative's house.
I was about ready to throw him out of the car window, just to keep my sanity.  The niece I was talking about, she's exactly like Homer Wells of the cider house rules novel.  You know, how the family who adopted him thought it strange that he never cried.   Still, I prefer my noisy nephew who cries about everything rather than his sister who was so quiet that my brother-in-law would check on her every couple of hours if she's still breathing because it was just too eerie.

Garden gnomes are most emphatetically not from Finland!!!!
Yes, our traditional faeries (singular: tonttu, plural: tontut) do indeed look like garden gnomes, but it's just a coincidence. :)

The plastic/whatever gnomes you put in your garden are an abomination and should be a capital offence!!! :x

Those dreadful things have tried invading Finland several times, but luckily they have been repelled each and every time.

I think garden gnomes originate from central Europe, perhaps Germany. The Germans seem to love the little buggers.  :)

Is she a Scorpio?

That sounds like me when I was a kid. I never cried, I never whinged, and I grew up too quickly coz I was never around kids. I get on much better with adults. Except the ones I meet IRL don't have the same interests as me...

In England we have a Gnome Liberation Front - they disappear in the middle of the night and then their previous 'owners' receive pictures of them enjoying themselves on the Riviera or something.

That makes me think of that movie Amelie where she stole her dad's gnome and kept taking photos of him in different places and eventually her dad decides to travel the world.

I love that movie, I wish I knew where it went *cry*

Best chick flick ever  :D

I was watching that one night when a friend came round to see me. We became more than friends that night and are now married. :D
I really like the name and would love to use it but my sister already did. :cry:

I loved it too!  I liked how she called up the sex shop and then hung up on them.  When her friend asked her about it she said "we don't have anything in common."  At least, thats what my subs told me.

Huh - they must have pinched the idea for the film then - the GLF has been going for years and years.  I've never seen Amelie - too sappy for me, even the music makes me cringe.  Odd really because I like Audrey Tautou as an actress (it is Audrey Tautou isn't it?) - she's done some very good films.
