Or the endless pictures of smustling. The amusement only lasts for about one (maybe two) pictures.

No problem.

But I won't turn down blood donations as a thank you.

I agree. I actually prefer .PNGs but I understand the need for the new rule and it doesn't bother me. I'm happy though that they decided to put a limit to how many pictures a user can put in a post.

The mandolin can be found at mangosims under Meubles > Sets > Salon > Maxima.
The African drum and guitar are by padre333 from TSR but can be found here. It is in the African safari set.

ETA: The violin he is photoshopped holding is by drpixel and is free over at tsr here.

I'm still wondering if she is ever going to take down the santa fairy or just leave it up until next Christmas.

Those are really nice and almost tempt me to swap my own icon with that of a more piratey persuasion. Perhaps I'll save a few in case the contentment with my current icon fades later on. But I suppose I shall remain a vampire pirate (if that is even possible).

I would find it entertaining but the troll doesn't even seem to really be trying, what with the generic insults and all. Kind of disappointing actually.

Pop psychology is annoying, since most of it is usually founded on theories that haven't been properly tested, if even tested at all. If individuals would actually take a look at the real, supported psychology, then they wouldn't have this problem with sheltering/coddling their children. They would know that it is an ineffective and harmful way of raising a child. There needs to be a balance between a permissive parenting style and a dominating parenting style and this really isn't anything new. Studies about what kind of parenting style produces the best results have been around for quite some time. But, like usual, individuals tend to ignore anything that is the least bit logical.

And it has already been proven that abstinence-only programs, and those silly purity rings, not only don't work but that they come with an obviously much higher rate of teenagers coming away with more STDs and HIV infections since they were never taught proper means of protection and safety.

About intelligent design, well I'm going to have to agree with mando on that one.

That actually made me lol.

This thread is a great start to a weekend. I just wish the troll had put in a little bit more effort.

I wouldn't have any clue as to why that would be.

And apparently at the other sites as well since both Besen's Sims2 and Exnem's Sims have the same generic message plastered there.


sherrie_sim- now that is an amusing picture.

AnneBonny is right. They really are going for overkill in using the friendship thing.
However, I find it amusing that while they claim this community is all about friendship, they still insist on charging all their 'friends' for their crappy content.

She actually has some things in the members section, it is just a matter of suffering through an excess of messy navigation to get to the crap. For example, clothing meshes and toddler everyday wear. However, that is as far as I could stand to go.

I just voted and the stats were at .8% who wanted Parsimonious to add even more updates with paysite finds and 70% who didn't want any paysite finds at all. Only 13.7% thought that paysite finds should be featured and that people should decide for themselves if they wanted to purchase said items. This was the total after 340 votes.

I can't help but marvel at those .8% of individuals who "frequently purchase Sims downloads and hate to miss previews of good pay content". Good pay content? Yea, not so much.

Perhaps the .8 are paysite owners themselves or simply individuals who have more money than proper cognitive skills.

I liked your old site policy. I too find it odd that some creators wouldn't be happy with simply having free advertisements via credit and a link back to their site. That seems rather counter productive to sharing your creations and being well known for them because, as Dour pointed out, this has been working very well for simchic.

However, that said, I also like the new site policy as well. It is understandable why you decided to change it and some of the really important points have still be kept, like including pay meshes and only using meshes that are easy to find. I think you are doing just fine using either policy.

I have to also agree that this idea about starting to use only meshes from creators who allow them to be shared is a good idea as well.
