I don't drink kool aid, so therefore, no. I don't know how it is for active cult members. As a matter of fact, i'm quite happy I don't know what it's like to be Atwa, or Shino or Suzy... Why the hell would I want to know what it's like to sniff Tommy boy's asscrack everyday? I have no desire my friend.
My whole point is this... Calalily was justified and didn't deserve to be thrown under the bus, run over by the bus, have the bus put in reverse and then rolled over again. She's got more street cred around here than that.
ETA... Okay .. last year I did drink some kool aid.. but it was only because there was no more cranberry juice to mix with my vodka..

Zazazu i'm sorry but that was the lamest comparison ever. Using your OWN analogy, Shino, Atwa and whoever the hell else in that thread who wore cheerleading outfits with a big TSR on the front are just brainwashed little cult members who know not what they do and therefore should be exonerated for their wrongdoing.
Save it.
And no... I didn't raise my hand to any of that shit. I've never paid for shit except the base game, a few stuff packs and all EPs. Why? Well .. thats in the FAQ here. I've never believed in paying for CC since day one dude.
The Aikea shit was resolved a few posts above yours man. The REAL topic is Sharing personal information lest we forget.
ETA
And thank you Ebony for the segue LOL
So that's the excuse they're going to give once paypal comes knocking huh? Interesting..

Great! So, now that we've cleared that up..... Does anyone know what happens to a site who violates Paypal's TOU? Heard any stories about possible repurcussions? What if TSR were to lose it's account with Paypal? *gasp* ![Grin](http://phorum.mustnotbenamed.com/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Wait..
Who the fuck threw Calalily under the bus? This reminds me of a secret I read recently... but I digress. Seriously, whenever the voices get louder I have to go back and read like 8 pages to catch up.. I swear this thread wasn't this long yesterday afternoon...
All Cala did was QUESTION. Not accuse. She questioned and wanted an explanation. Pirates have done this before people. This shit aint new. Aikea isn't exempt from being questioned when new bullshit erupts. But what happens? Instead of looking at Cala's questioning logically, motherfuckers jumped on Aikea's team with the 'leave her alone' and the 'she's free now' rhetoric.
Yeah, we ALL have respect for Aikea and Gelyd, that's a given. They are NOT SHARING OTHER PEOPLES INFORMATION, they have humbled themselves and joined the pirates. Good for them.
BUT
If calalily, as the true pirate she is, wants to question some shit, let her question some shit. She'd do the same thing if ShinoKCR happened to 'see the light' and then a year later gets confronted with some screenies of her partaking in random bullshit.
The last few pages have been convoluted with Calalily defending a pretty legitimate line of questioning and as you can see by Aikea's last response (as well as Gelyd's), all they had to do was continue conversing to reach a consensus. In other words, they worked it out themselves despite all the flying rum bottles.
I'm going back to lurk, but DAMN, give Calalilly a break it was clarification and explanation that she sought. Yes we love Aikea and Gely, yes they aren't a part of that shit anymore. Yes sharing info and cheering the sharing of info is bad. Yes pot roast with heinz 57 sauce is good shit. DAMN

Clear cut. We can't touch the fuckers cause they aren't breaking any copyrights or anything. They have the license to sell their shit, but the others don't. We go after the ones that are operating illegally and sadly, EA isnt. Despite the SecuROM and all of that other shit they fuck us over with, it's not illegal for them to hack apart EP's and SP's and sell it all separately and make even more money. I wonder if the franchise is starting to moo, because those lousy fucks are milking it for all they're worth. Does that help?
That definitely helps. Thanks for breaking that down. What I don't get is... the Sims franchise has been around for ages.. If they're going to go this route, why recycle shit that 90% of us already have via EPs & SPs? An SP is what? $19.99? So if my math is correct.. you break about even if you were to just go out and get the damn SP as opposed to downloaded shit from this *store*. Some higher up at EA has been playing naked under the sheets with Thomas for quite some time now.. which is why i'm not too terribly surprised that EA now has it's own version of "Kudos". *spit*

As sick and pitiful as this is, I wonder how this will affect The Pirates/Booty? Will there be a new EA section? Or, since we really can't say they are infringing on copyright, are they exempt from the booty even though they now have a new and shiny paysite? Is it a catch 22? Will we treat EA like Peggy, TSR and the other leeches by registering, pilfering and adding to the booty?
How does it work when the very EULA we use to beat paysites over the head with is authored by a company who has it's own paysite? I mean, technically, it's their stuff and they have the right to sell it. Catch 22 right?
My brain hurts.
