Now that's something nice and positive!

I approve.

Shouldn't we have some sort of anti-killmark, something to indicate that the site owner has seen the light and stopped being a paysite? A pirate mark of  approval, or honourable mention, or something?

I don't think mysimulation is in the booty, so we had nothing to do with their decision.

If this question is not appropriate, please, do not make me walk the plank... :)

I approve this too. It is a nice idea.
Even Pescado may be nice for once... does he?

*ducks to avoid ground-to-ground missiles*

Well, that's nice, never heard of them before, but still.

And cute idea, but what's the point in having a 'suicide' mark for things you didn't kill yourself? :P

Make one of those award blinkies for them to display on their site.  A sparkly cutlass or something.

Or a golden parrot.

Something like this?  :D

(yes, I don't have anything better to do, this evening :P)

Cute!!!  :lol:

Yes, Marhis!

That would be brilliant. I vote yes on pirate kitty.

Are those only for sites that were pay and went free?

*wants one... :oops: *

I'm going to turn simlogical pay for a day so I can go free and get a blinkie

Awesome!

I agree, we need to send them a blinkie or a banner or something.

That would be interesting on a number of levels...People who were sent and displayed said blinkies would be known as PMBD sympathizers...but it also would show that we're not all about the CRUSH KILL DESTROY...

I agree; those above are quick tries, but the pirate kitten theme fits well, to me  :).
A better size-ing and writing on badges may help, too.

I agree also that it's important psycologically (you know, marketing stuff and such): the more official and widely known is, the better.

Yes, but "CRUSH KILL DESTROY" is fun too.  :wink:

Nice ones, I love them!  :lol:  

One thing I've been thinking about and would like to see in "the community" is some kind of button or blinkie that said "share-friendly site" or something like that, indicating that the site owner allows recolouring and mesh redistribution and permission for people to use their stuff in houses or sims for upload.

I think that, if it got big enough and a lot of the big site owners used it, it could make some stuck-up, uptight creators loosen their ridiculous TOS's up a bit since they - hopefully - would feel left out and start to fear that lacking that little banner would make them lose visitors... Or something.

Anyway...


That's all from me, yarrr!  :roll:

Actually, I really like that idea too.  Problems is: The only "big" site that has a TOS like that is Noukie, the rest have member sections/etc.

I think All About Style are pretty share-friendly too, at least they allow you to put their meshes on your own site, I wouldn't know for the rest right now...

But that could make TWO sites..!  :D

Well, after a fashion, there is, at Neighbourhood 99, sort of. Not the same, but there is a filesharing friendly system...

*slaps forhead*  I completly forgot about AAS >.o.   Forgive me :)

Anyway, I still think it's a good idea.

well although it hasnt been updated lately, louis' site is file share friendly (she has a little file-share friendly button up i believe) and she changed her terms so they are alot more loose....she has preview pics up implying she's going to start updating again soon though :)
And LianaSims2, she allows you to use her clothing and stuff in your sims, recolor/redistribute her meshes, she even has a mesh page for creators.

AAS is the same with the mesh page and allowing redistribution. Only stipulation is you don't reuse the textures and that you credit. Still one of the best sites out there imo.

I got a little excited (and I'm bored because I'm having meshing problems and don't know how to fix it) so I made THESE:

 :lol:

Not as awesome as the pirate kitties but I'm bored and lack inspiration...

Now if only people would use them (or better ones if someone volunteers)..! I guess I could put one on my site even though it's a tiny site that no one cares about or even go to, but it's a start...

I put one on my site =)

my kittie! cute but maybe not graphic enough?

aarrrhhh damn it, cutest thing i saw! :wink:

Very nice! "Share friendly" with sims' icons are perfect, "we" :P might also promote this sort of support, even without the pmbd signature, which not everybody might like.

That's wonderful! What's the URL?

I put it on my tiny site, too! I am learning to mesh, and someday I hope to create some things that others might want to use!

I have one on my site too.  Spreading awareness one tiny site at a time :)

That's great, SparklePlenty!  :o

I've just completed my first succesful clothing mesh myself and I'm about to put it on MTS2 for anyone to use and abuse as they wish!  :lol:


God, I type slow (it doesn't help browsing 1867 sites on the same time either!) I'm very glad to hear that, I like your site (found it on S2C the other day actually!)

Edited because I suck

post a link to it when it's approved, Captian Berg.

Absolutely, I'm making a list with all the sites that use it for my links page (well, all two that I know about right now, myself excluded  :lol: !

I am grabbing those myself as well. If I ever get around to opening my site, I'll put one up.  :)

I may not mesh but I'm going to toss one up on my sims!lj.  I think just knowing people are okay with pmbd is pretty neat too.

Doursim, I linked to you from my links page (you too, SparkePlenty) but I will make an external list later on (I'm planning to, anyway... We should just have more than three names on that list first  :lol: )

I also tried to put together a FAQ (http://one.fsphost.com/berg/sfs.html). Please read it and tell me what you think (my grammar and spelling isn't the best - feel free to correct my errors) and also tell me if something's out of place or missing or... just anything. I don't think this should be one man's (or in this case - woman's...) project so I want many views on what should define a share friendly site.  :)

The FAQ sounds good.  If you don't mind, may I post the fsf banners on my site (in the link section) with an info link to your FAQ?

*and I'm going to link back to your site without even asking  8)

*edit:  I never edit.  But I linked my english version to your faq, but wrote a french version for my own site.  It's available  here (http://viking.coe.uh.edu/~keguffey/Doursim/fsffr.html)

I don't speak french, if anyone does and would mind proofing it for me I would be grateful.

That's all so great, Doursim!  :)
But I'm afraid my French is even worse than my English so no help from me, but I trust you and will put a link to your translation on the FAQ page when I come home  :wink: .

Tonight I plan to email some site owners that I know are CC share friendly to let them know about this "campaign" or what we should call it, I might even make a thread at S2C, I'm very curious what kind of reactions it would generate...  :D

I made an italian version, abuse of it as you want.

D: Chi può usare questi badge?
R: Qualsiasi creatore e/o sito, la cui policy preveda la libera distribuzione dei propri contenuti, può mettere questi badge sulle proprie pagine web, se vuole.

D: Che cosa rende un sito "share friendly"?
R: L'autore permette la ridistribuzione delle proprie mesh (per esempio offerte insieme ad un recolor su un altro sito).
L'autore permette che le proprie opere accompagnino sim o case distribuite altrove.
L'autore permette che le proprie opere vengano liberamente utilizzate per immagini, video, storie, ecc.

E' comunque libera scelta dell'autore quale tipo di riconoscimento aspettarsi in cambio, e se preferisce che le proprie creazioni non vengano ridistribuite in specifici siti.

D: Può un sito a pagamento (paysite) utilizzare questi badge?
R: Certamente, se tutte le creazioni che offre sono share friendly (vedi definizione precedente).

D: Verrà compilata una lista di siti share friendly?
R: Probabilmente sì, se c'è sufficiente interesse sull'argomento.

Manda un'email a centanmods at hotmail.com se sei interessato ad avere il tuo sito menzionato in una lista di questo genere.

You wonderful you, perfect!  :o I'll be glad to add it to the FAQ!

ETA: Both of your translations have been added now! Thanks a lot!

WTFnecromancy.

Congrads on them going free *claps & cheers* :)
