2311  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / I Hate N00bs. on: 2007 February 02, 08:57:18
Yeah, I agree with Marhis.  I don't hate noobs, but I do hate noobs who don't read things like FAQs.  I usually patrol a forum reading things to get the tone of the posts, and to see if I should post.  

I even did this with my first forum, trying to work things out so as not to be a stupid person, so I see no excuse.

Yes, well that $25 for Milkshape would be better spent on feeding her chilluns.  :lol: No need to give customers value for money when there's chilluns starvin', homeless and without discernable footwear.

And with this I mean , that maybe update/find sites could maybe think a little too if they still want to give all free promotion for sites that only take from this comunity .


Actually, S2C has a free finds section, and Parsimonious doesn't seem to include paystuffs anymore - or perhaps it is that paystuffs just aren't good enough.

So to say it simple , what can a paysite do to get you off his back ?


Stop being one. Many sites, including all of Pescado's have shown that donation works.  Members paid $2100 for a new server, and some even donated before the server was sure, knowing that it would go to beer and some such for them.

The fact will remain that people will go on to make Simsproducts for money , in spite of your well meant efforts , some sites close but then 2 others open to fill that gap and this will go on and on .


This is the reason that they must be destroyed - and why they need all their money taken off them.  The evil just proliferates.

I saw in your booty list so is there no way to talk with them and see if you come both to solution that will bennefit both parties , so give room for both ?


They don't care about benefitting anyone but themselves - they use community to bludgeon everyone to be a good little consumer.  They don't care about our benefit - that's what allows them to be money-grubbing bastards in the first place.
2314  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Pay MESH recolors on free sites on: 2007 February 01, 17:36:20
I don't think that recolours of pay meshes should be on free sites - customers should complain to the business and ask for better reds. Or businesses should pay free sites that fix their fuckups.
2315  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Exnem/LL charging for Maxis recolours. on: 2007 February 01, 13:27:27
Yeah, I noticed that when I was being a pedantic fucker and going through the files, after someone defended him on S2C with the bullshit line that "exnem gives sooo much back".

What a dipshit - charging for recolours - while his own meshes are free. They would want to be fucking gold plated at the prices he charges.
2316  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / And again.. new paysite. on: 2007 February 01, 09:24:47
That stuff is very Carla Niven.  I don't think that it's very nice, or very well done.  And I'm sure that I've seen them somewhere else - checked Carla Niven, and they didn't match - has anyone else seen them elsewhere?
2317  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Working on solution on: 2007 February 01, 08:59:50
The reality is that paysites will find ways to worm out of their promises to the community, just as TSR did. They're not really interested in keeping this sort of thing out of the way, but rather keeping it quiet - that's how they co-opt Delphy and others into banning links to this site.

I agree about the indispensable things - the things people need being free - and they are indispensable because they are brilliant.  

Paysites would just find a way to say - oh no - these files are the real money spinners, and therefore will be locked behind the golden curtain. And if you proposed this to TSR, they would just say Oh - the kudos system - contribute to the evil and you can have one free day in 2009.
2318  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / New Forum on: 2007 January 31, 07:01:31
Yeah, I have no chance over there.  One grammar mistake is a warning. Looks like it's here I stay.
2319  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / A question/suggestion to the moderators on: 2007 January 30, 18:32:33
I have to agree with the objections of trying to make the site more exclusive or protecting young kids.  My kids are threatened and patrolled by me on the internet, and I don't see why we should take care to protect them in this forum when their parents aren't.  

If they don't get it here - they'll pick it up on the street  :shock:  :lol:
2320  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Sugary Sims free on: 2007 January 30, 17:05:44
Hey, I don't know if this counts as an official kill, but I just went to sugary sims, and its free.

Just a note to let everyone know that Sara had a baby girl and to celebrate we have added 17 new female toddler outfits. We'll try to update as much as we can for the next week or two, but when things get settled, we will hopefully be updating once a day. Also, because of the many, not so polite, comments, our donation page is now gone, and our donation skins are free. Due to the many suggestions we have added a donation link for people to donate if they want to help keep the site free. We will try this for two months, but if we do not get any donations, our subscription page will be added again. If you want to help, it is greatly appreciated, and all we ask is that you please donate atleast $1.50 because paypal takes some. Thank you.
Sara and Sue


I know that a lot of people posted in the guest book - seems to have had an impact.

Well, that sucks.  Another hair creator who thinks because they can convert Poser meshes too, they have the right to charge for all of their oh-so-fucking hard work.

Bleh.  Long live the booty.


Makes me wonderful if some of these mercenary site owners have been watching the Poser discussion and had a brainwave.
2322  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / My Site on: 2007 January 30, 07:37:57
That's wonderful.

I personally appreciate the download counts on the front page, so that you know something is in every section.

Style reminds me of that cousin site that Parsimonious had for sims 1 - forget what it was called, but had some Mexican sets and a day bed similar to that.
2323  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Was I dreaming or what? on: 2007 January 27, 18:35:33
Cathartic - rid oneself of urges.

I am glad that we did not lose Blue.  I might be a mean salty pirate, but I have been checking back to see if Blue surfaced again.  Cheesy

2325  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Delphy's MTS2 2007 Mission Statement on: 2007 January 13, 11:31:36
Quote from: "Delphy"
The issue I have with the treasure chest forum (and hence linking of PMBD in sigs) is that it basically advocates filesharing in that it's a list of "stolen" things, and also asks for money to help with the endeavour.

You say that paysite links should be banned from MTS2... I say stop trying to dictate what goes on there - notwithstanding the point that has been made time and time again that a site that has a great sharing policy you would still class as a paysite (SimChic) or actually is mostly free with only a few sets etc (AroundTheSims).  

Or perhaps I should just turn into a forum nazi and just ban all sigs and all links altogether to anything remotely resembling any kind of site.

Frankly I'm getting tired of the extremist attitudes of people here.  I dont tell you what to do, but you seem to think you have some right to tell me what I should do?  *shrugs*

I almost preferred it when you all hated me. Tongue


I didn't post that on your forum, and I have been pretty active in the why hate paysites, with not one ounce of your necessary censorship needed because I have abided by your rules. But if you come here, where Pescado pretty much lets me speak my mind - then I can abide by his rules, and you either lump it, or leave, just as we have to do on your site.

I put forward my opinion on someone else's site - I didn't PM you, or even ask you to check it out. I just said what I think within the rules of this forum, just as I did on yours.  

I didn't order, or dictate, or demand, but put forth an argument, and I didn't even address you personally.  You might own MTS2, but you don't own here. Being a member of this site doesn't mean that you get to dictate to me either.

And I think it's pretty damn stupid to have a policy about free things, when people upload to MTS2 with "want to see more of my stuff - come to openhousejack/exnem/crapperata" - it kinda makes you look like a paper tyrant - one who will say "oh paysites are bad" while promoting them on the featured or front page of your site, telling people that if they want more featured content like this, just click on the link.
