I dunno, I think if you take away all the "we're sharing your private informations" crap, I personally think they are all kinda boring.   It's like no one has a personality there, everyone's so eager to agree with the last poster, and kiss everyone else ass, it's completely redundant and predictable.   Even their inner TSR 'drama' is making me yawn.  

Further, I don't know how Coconut can stand to do captions for Atwa's posts, I can barely finish skimming them without wanting to bash my brain in.

So I wonder over to the Habita43 website, thinking to myself, it has to be a free item right? Although in the back of my head, I was truly expecting it to be pay. When I get there I see this:

"Because of some changes in our lives - Steffors stressy academic studies and our jobs we decided to give up our subscription-system. There are new sections where you can find our stuff. Please feel free to use our "Cafe habitat"-Forum if you have any question. We wish you very much fun with our stuff!"

I don't wish to join their forum, so is it a killmark or not?

Ok, so what you're say WB, is that what they were doing over at TSR private forum was illegal since real names were being used in there, right? 

Whether sharing email addresses and screen names is illegal or not, it is certainly a bullying tactic.  I would think that most people would not want this information shared despite it being legal.  I know I wouldn't want my email just given out.  I get enough crap as it is. 

Hello Mr. Zwillinger,

My name is.......... & i am a member of The Sims 2 Community on the web.
 
There is a big debate going on over Sims 2 pay sites (Sites who make content & charge money for said content) & Free Sims 2 sites. The pay side believes they own copyright over the said items created using tools from Electronic Arts & 3rd parties. Without said tools to import the files you create into a viable Electronic Arts package format for use in game the files are useless. Creators who create items for the game The Sims 2 use poser meshes & or other 3rd party created meshes & textures using existing Electronic Arts game items as the base for new custom content. 
 
Now comes the debate. Do Sims 2 pay sites who create Custom Content for the game own any copyright what so ever over said content? Is selling said content against the law or illegal? Do they have the right to tell you what you can & cannot do with said content once you purchase it? or does the copyright belong solely to Electronic Arts the makers of the game? (See EA Eula below) The same electronic arts who encourages sharing of all custom content pay or free.
 
The other debate going on is ts2 paysites are collecting and sharing personal pay pal info of users who buy custom content for the game with other Sims 2 paysites, then banning those people & not refunding any money they have paid for a download subscription or sets of custom content once they are considered to be file sharers. Is the sharing of peoples personal pay pal info between these owners of ts2 paysites illegal?
 
Also as a consumer say i purchase said content from a Sims 2 pay site & then decide to share it with a friend or other people who play the game. Is that legal considering Sims 2 content is made off of existing electronic arts content? What are my rights as a consumer of Sims 2 Custom Content from 3rd party websites who charge for said custom content?
 
The Sims 2 Eula states:

Pasted Eula here

Ya know yall can quit quoting me, I give up on this whole friggin community.
If you steal from someone and they tell their friends you're a theif and it bothers you then don't steal from em. I mean jesus is that really that hard to comprehend.
But whatever. I suppose no one can disagree with the masses or theyre the bad guy. I didnt know being a member in this community meant I had to sacrifice my own opinions and follow a herd. Which is something I wont do so yall can find someone else to blow up on. This is a game and so not worth this stupid drama.

I don't think I'm going to sleep for a week. 

I'd recommend Atwat's G-Spot.
