A good read... they are trying to convince us that TSR is all good and mighty :P Title: I think I've been converted to TSR! Post by: rome_raven on 2007 March 03, 04:43:48 I am almost convinced that the people from the TSR forum, don't actually go and look anywhere else for "quality" items. If they did, then they would know better.
Title: I think I've been converted to TSR! Post by: Doursim on 2007 March 03, 04:51:20 I don't want to share my creations with cretins like that anyway. :P

Go you :D Title: I think I've been converted to TSR! Post by: feathered on 2007 March 03, 06:01:24 As soon as I saw that post I checked here. I don't really know what to say. Although I check the tsr forums regularly I've never subscribed to the actual site. Nor do I ever intend too. I think making that post over there is like running headlong into a brickwall at topspeed though.
Title: I think I've been converted to TSR! Post by: flyingpigeon on 2007 March 03, 06:23:02 You'd think they'd have a decent reason for closing it... anybody wanna volunteer to start a new one? Come on, you know you want to... :lol:

The admins are a bunch of piss face babies who cry every time someone goes against their lame website. And forbid you stop their brainwashing of their members. I swear, they are more whacked out than the Manson family over there. Title: I think I've been converted to TSR! Post by: Renegade on 2007 March 03, 11:19:23 Here's an interesting portion of a post in that thread:
Quote Sorry to disappoint but an End User Licence Agreement isn't a law. It's simply an agreement which you click yes to whenever you play a game like The Sims 2 or log onto an online game like World of Warcraft. They aren't worth the paper they're not written on and are simply there as a means for the game's originators to be able to cover their backs in the case of any eventuality. Now, that's interesting. When we download from PeggySims or RoseSims, do we need to click on a little thing that says "I agree" under a list of terms and conditions? Even if we did, well hey, it's not law right? It's just a "simple agreement" and isn't "worth the paper they're not written on". To say that a paysite that creates content for a copyrighted game, using materials that are from the game code itself, has more right than EA's EULA itself is just a tad ridiculous. Not to mention that once someone buys a product, they can pretty much do whatever they want with it.. *RenegadeSims Title: I think I've been converted to TSR! Post by: RedLove on 2007 March 03, 14:53:22 :lol: Wow renegade I never thought of that. They are basically telling us its alright to share stuff...but alas i have been converted I need to give them my monies :shock:
Title: I think I've been converted to TSR! Post by: Steerpike on 2007 March 03, 16:10:40 Monies? Pah. I'm giving them my first born child. And maybe my soul too.
Definately worth it. Title: I think I've been converted to TSR! Post by: karu on 2007 March 03, 17:33:41 it's gone now, what did it say?

Title: I think I've been converted to TSR! Post by: Pyromaniac on 2007 March 04, 03:25:26 When I read the title, my sarcasm detector was beeping off the charts.
@renegadesims: I love how everyone at TSR are so shamelessly hypocritical. They claim that an End User Licence Agreement isn't law, yet you have to check one of those "I agree" boxes when you register at TSR and their forums. I'm eager to use their philosophy against them. Title: I think I've been converted to TSR! Post by: Feverish on 2007 March 04, 10:18:58 I just saw some of the ugliest lipstick ever at tsr:

HA! I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw them. Kinda like, whoa, who in the hell would download that. But of course, there are always some who do. I often wonder about the mental capacity of the people who download the most hideous things, nevermind the people that upload them. And yes, I have spent time creating & uploading things, so perhaps I judge too harshly. Or maybe not. Title: I think I've been converted to TSR!

Apart from it looking generally hideous anyway, it doesn't even look like it matches the shape of the lips... Is that a pay set? o_O (I wouldn't download it, let alone pay for it!)

That's definitely an interesting idea; unfortunately, they'd never let you get away with that. As punishment, they'd apply those ugly lipsticks on you first, and do a whole lot of other horrid things you'd never think was humanly/Sim-ly possible.. :shock: *RenegadeSims Title: I think I've been converted to TSR!

It looks like a disease. Title: I think I've been converted to TSR! Post by: Paden on 2007 March 05, 23:20:20 My thing is, I download what I want and do whatever the hell with it that I want. I burn off every damn thing I download in case of a computer crash that takes everything out. I learned that years ago, before this game came out. And guess what, everyone, I share everything I get with my sister and my nephew! Gasp! Aren't you shocked? TSR can piss up a rope for all I care, they have the same right to enforce their agreement as EA, or even LESS, wouldn't you say? EA made the game, not TSR. Screw them and the worms they rode in on, they are low enough to use them as ponies.

Thomas should follow his own damn rules, but you know how hypocrites are. If a person doesn't want their shit posted on a site without first giving permission, I can see that, especially if the site is home to such assholes as Thomas. And, if they were done by a free artist, who in the hell does Thomas think he is by putting it on a paysite, even if he's not asking money for them. Can I kick him in the nads with my boots now? I would say they were non-existant, but the shit he does takes balls of brass! I, for one, refuse to shine them for him by paying for that crap. Title: I think I've been converted to TSR!

Thomas the TosSeR you say? I like it. Very apt. Aww I wish I'd read that thread. :cry: |
