Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: PirateBooty on 2007 February 15, 02:54:04 Well, the new site has been unveiled.
If you remember at first she charged $3.50 per donation set - for about 8-10 items. Then the price rose to $5 per set but the quanity didn't improve. Now she's having a subscription-based site. Usually that's better - I know I'd rather pay rose $5/month than $3.50 per hair 4 times a month. Anyway she's reached exnem (http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org/booty/exnem/) levels of greed/delusions of grandeur (take your pick) and is charging a hefty $8.00 a month Yes, you read that right. Eight fucking dollars a month. Insanity. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Xerolize on 2007 February 15, 03:08:37 That's 2 dollars less then Peggy. highway robbery indeed.
Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Plum on 2007 February 15, 04:09:57 Meh, I sure ain't payin' for it.
Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: megawarrior on 2007 February 15, 08:19:37 I could buy a whole damn meal with $8. :?
Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: BlueSoup on 2007 February 15, 08:25:45 I want no one to pay for it. Absolutely no one.
And I have some information about this site: I talked to her on MSN quite a bit in the past few days, and one of the main reasons she's continuing with being a paysite is because she allegedly paid someone to make this site (with the login and all) $350. She claims as soon as she recovers these funds, that she won't be a paysite anymore. I tried to point out to her that she wouldn't have had to pay anyone any money if she just went free in the first place, but she's French. :P And I don't think she understood me, or my point. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Aquamarine on 2007 February 15, 15:44:52 $350 dollars for a tiny website is quite an investment (read: fucking insane) for someone who doesn't expect some mega returns beyond the cost of getting someone to make it.
And if I'm currently looking at the correct site, it looks like she's the one who got robbed. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: BlueSoup on 2007 February 15, 15:46:52 Actually, I said it wrong: 350 Euros.
http://sublisims.ns5-wistee.fr/ Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: ScreamMyName on 2007 February 15, 16:23:32 she's never got less than 350 bucks through donators!
that bitch should stop lying, I'm sure she's got more money that that! Her sets are pretty cool, I like most of those creations and I can tell that many people would rather donate to her than to Carla Niven... Ok ok bad example, I'm very sorry :lol: :lol: :lol: Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: snadradeocconer on 2007 February 15, 16:27:37 Wow, well form what i hear we might be getting her skins for a reduced prices :).

Post by: Aquamarine on 2007 February 15, 19:32:38 Quote from: "BlueSoup" Actually, I said it wrong: 350 Euros. http://sublisims.ns5-wistee.fr/ So approximately $460 USD for a website that looks like it was done in Geoshitties page builder. Jesus christ. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Plum on 2007 February 16, 00:13:58 Well at least there's no doubt that she's a moron. It's nice to not have to ponder on it any longer. Now I have more free time to bake.
Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Feverish on 2007 February 16, 00:50:56 Oh yuckity yuck yuck.
When you said she paid someone 350 to design her site, I was expecting something unique and interesting at least. It isn't even decent. I dislike it alot actually. It has a fugly purple background. And the angel wings even twinkle. She got robbed now she's trying to rob everyone else. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: icedwhitemocha on 2007 February 16, 05:57:13 A total of six free skins on that site. Versus too many donator skins to count (5 pages of casual wear, for starter's). That's so effing greedy.
Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Surelyfunke on 2007 February 16, 08:56:04 Oh, and she's allegedly dying of some unknown form of terminal disease that leaves her unable to walk, and requiring breathing assistance. You do the math. :roll:
Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Emma on 2007 February 16, 09:45:50 Rip-off. Pure and simple. I'd rather my sims walk around in the maxis clothing 'a la Goopy' than pay that much for clothes. It shouldn't even be bootified. That is probably what she is counting on :lol: Saves her bandwidth!
Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: snadradeocconer on 2007 February 16, 12:24:07 I don't think her stuff is even that good to be paying $5 a month.
Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: BlueSoup on 2007 February 16, 13:15:22 She's not going to be bootified. Pure and simple. I'm done with her greedy ass.
Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Tchannie on 2007 February 16, 18:08:58 I like her, and her stuff is generally only the paystuff that ALL of what I download remains.
But that's just crap. And the pay stuff isn't even that pretty! For a change. *glares at her* Yeah, pure fricking robbery. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: BlackPearl on 2007 February 16, 20:39:16 The stuff they got in their member section is better than what peggy has in her member section. LOL But I guess that's not saying much. :roll:
Still wouldn't pay for it. I learned my lesson when I paid for a one monther at peggys before I found the booty, that was a big mistake because I can't use half of the stuff. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Helena on 2007 February 18, 10:13:05 I've got a message in my guestbook from Sandra sublisims, saying
Quote ist unde paysite desroye linking stop that doinge its bad i worked harding i havent got car what u did illegaling remove desrtoylink sooner :lol: :lol: megalol :lol: she means the link to the booty. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: darkangel on 2007 February 18, 13:57:20 Wow...what kind of language is that? :roll:

Post by: Pineapplebrain on 2007 February 18, 15:59:41 Quote ist unde paysite desroye linking stop that doinge its bad i worked harding i havent got car what u did illegaling remove desrtoylink sooner Wait, so I'm going to attempt to decipher this. Stop listing her in the booty because she works hard on her creations and...she doesn't have a car? Is she seriously saying that she needs donations because she doesn't have a car? Or...am I just deciphering that wrong. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: BlueSoup on 2007 February 18, 16:11:06 She's French.
And I have a list of excuses from her. She tries them all, so don't believe a fucking word she says. I offered to host her site, providing she goes free. She turned me down because she wants to make money. So I hope and pray that no one gives her a dime. :lol: Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery!

Or...am I just deciphering that wrong. As I understood - she is asking me to remove a link to the booty from my site, because it is illegal. she worked hard and haven't got a car, and again "remove this link asap" :D Btw, I've got a few messages from very similar IP this week. I know, that 1 number difference is already a huge difference, but the country is the same, bad english is the same, and I banned the first IP, so she couldn't use it again. May be it is just a coincidence.. But it seems very strange to me. The first visitor (which got banned) wrote, that I have some crappy recolors and that I am cool like carla niven. It smells like someone is trying to involve me into some kind of a drama :lol: :lol: :lol: Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Anouk on 2007 February 18, 23:44:55 lik but remove it al ready plz becus i cant affor to drive al the way to BASH YER FACE!
that's probably what she meant XD Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Plum on 2007 February 19, 00:51:06 Well if I was stuck home without a car I'd probably transmogify into a jibbering moron too.
Well, probably not, but she's French so whatyagonnado. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Captain Feathersword on 2007 February 19, 01:04:23 I am stuck at home with no car in a little village in England. I may be a gibbering moron because of it but not so much that I'd start a sims paysite. Not being French may help me on this though.
I was just checking my spelling of gibbering against Plum's and found this rather amusing aside. Quote from: "Wiktionary" jibber French: jibbeur m person who backs out of plans at the last minute person who never turns up when invited I've known several jibbeurs and wished that there was a word for them. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Plum on 2007 February 19, 01:29:18 Awesome. I'm officially adding that word to my vocabulary.
Now my flakey friends wont know I'm calling them flakey anymore. Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: ClearlyMistaken on 2007 February 19, 01:58:20 some of her stuff isn't a complete disaster like carla niven...
Still not worth 8 bucks though! :evil: Title: Absolutely Ridiculous Post by: Lhop on 2007 February 21, 22:57:13 What, does she think that people are stupid?! Doesn't she realize that people will notice that all of her stuff is made on free meshes? The scary thing is that some people will pay for this crap. I mean, she's charging 8 dollars, and people are obviously paying it. :roll: Because she doesn't have a car...or can't breathe on her own, or because she works "really hard" on the crap she peddles. I'm glad this junk won't be added to the booty!
Title: Duhhhh Post by: Paden on 2007 February 23, 09:36:36 Piss on her and her ugly shit and rotten use of language. I work hard on a lot of shit but even not knowing what I'm doing at times, I still get better results from a flopped loaf of bread than the flopped pieces of shit she is trying to foist off on us!
Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Helena on 2007 February 23, 11:33:20 hahaha. I've just heard this song (MICHAEL LEARNS TO ROCK - the actor) on the radio and remembered someone talking about the car :) I think this lyrics suits the best here :lol:
I'm not an actor I'm not a star And I don't even have my own car But I'm hoping so much you'll PAY That you will love me anyway Title: Sublisims Highway Robbery! Post by: Tchannie on 2007 February 24, 22:52:20 Hel: HAHAHA CLASSIC!
That is the best message anyone's ever written. Remove the link from your own SITE coz I'M on there? HAHAHA! BRILLIANT! :lol: :lol: :lol: |
