But at Second Life, don't they encourage that sort of thing? Over here, EA doesn't really support paysites (but they let them fester), but in Second Life, they even make it easy to exchange Linden money and real dollars.
Yes, Second Life encourages it; however, Bluesoup agreed with not just the legal argument, but also the ethical argument about free game content for all. Hence, I don't see how you can stand by selling stuff in one game and not in another - because it's not free game content for all. As far as why she was allowed back, Pescado gave her several chances to prove herself. When she finally souped on March 18th, her chances had run out. She had indeed failed him. You'll notice that he's not as forgiving these days.

Heh...as I recall, I got into a big ugly fight at SFV with Bluesoup over her hypocricy concerning Second LIfe. Here she was, anti-paysite for TS2, but working for some random Second Life shop where they sold stuff. Sadly, one of hte mods shut it down, but man, I was pissed. I think it was at that point that she blamed me for her taking down BLS... ah, the good old days.

Calalily, that was brilliant. :::::applauds wildly::::::
It's quite the tale. You may hear from some in the community about Pescado's cruelty or about Bluesoup's tragic life, but the bottom line is that at any moment, Bluesoup could have walked away/turned off the computer/admitted she wasn't equal to the task, but she didn't. And she left a mess for Gwendolyne and I to clean up. Whee.
Clearly, Bluesoup has failed us! You must not!

Once every six years.
(Math is your friend!)
Neriana, you do make a good point - I suppose it's notable that Atwat is gone, because of her position and the unrest she caused. It's not a secret she's always been a thorn in the side of the more well-established FAs, like Aikea and DOT, and I suppose one too many bad decisions and cruelty to the masses didn't help. (Makes you wonder if she was behind Blackgarden and/or Simal10's promotion.)

I was just notified that everyone's 'favorite' Artist Manager is no longer at TSR. She's not an FA, not an SA, not anywhere. According to my source, the grapevines says "she was sacked after problems between her, Dot, Tug and Aikea. Thomas sacked her, not backed her."
So what shall we do to celebrate show her our sympathy?
(Tee hee!)

Wow, what a shock. SFV is down again. I think SIH needs a different server and a different server OS.
Just sayin'.

I'm just stuck on the part where someone said TSR was 'great value for your money'. Yeah, it is.. if you download the stuff from the booty. Honestly. There's maybe three talented creators on the entire site.
It is relative - let's take out the fact for a moment that this is illegal, or at the very least, highly unethical, and look at the financials. To buy everything you want from Vita, you have to spend several dollars per set. That adds up QUICKLY. On the other hand, TSR's 5 bucks a month (yeah, it's 10 for 2 months, but whatever) gives you access to MANY MORE Files, and frankly, you can get hundreds of sets costing pennies versus maybe two sets from someone like Vita for the same cost. So from a value standpoint, they ARE a good value. See the difference?

You and me both, sigmund.
I downloaded a lot a while ago from TSR, and imagine my shock and horror when I realized there were some of Atwat's items in there... my game hasn't recovered.
