Thank you Paden, I also didn't know anything about bipolar jokes, but it really nothers me when I see people on forums calling people bipolar when they are moody, or whatever happened in this situation.  As a person who was diagnosed with bipolar almost ten years ago, I hate seeing such a serious, debilitating mental illness being trivialized by people who have no idea about it.
And, on topic, I think it is great that this person has decided to stop being pay.  I don't know all of the circumstances of this, but I think it is great that they were willing to stop making a profit off of something, and that this person was smart enough to stop having a paysite before EAxis takes legal action.  I also think it is great that when she was saying she was closing down, she actually acknowledged what she once was, by saying "I have taken away all donation packs because EA is thinking about taking legal actions against those with paysites, so I took it away before that will happen."  I think it's great that she is actually referring to herself as a "Paysite" and not a "Site that offers items in exchange for a predetermined donation for bandwidth".
I hope more paysite owners will do this, but I am smart enough not to expect it.  I wouldn't be surprised if the smaller, more uninformed sites will stop this, especially if someone they are friends with kindly explains things, and maybe we will see more of this, but unfortunately we all know that the TSR's and the PeggySims 2's won't be shutting down until they are sued.

Oh man I almost wish I had a paysite so that I could copy and paste that letter and send it, just to read the reply...
Then again, I guess I could always just say I am thinking of starting a paysite.

TSR really does suck ass...I remember I looked for stuff there a while ago, and everything there was awful.  Fifty thousand recolors of the same crappy top, and it's so hard to find anything good there because they put so much sub-par shit up.  It's sorta like the exchange, but more evil.
I was upset to see that Sims2Sisters went to TSR, because I liked a couple of their hairstyles.

That dress is in the booty, isn't it?  I think I might download  it and put it on one of my more hated sims.  It would be funny.  If I do it, I will take pictures and I will post them here for your amusement!  I loved that picture where the sim was laying in bed while wearing that dress and the dress goes up in the air and goes through the mattress part of the bed.  That was priceless!

I love how they have the ugly, cheap bathroom set recolored in an ugly, cheap salmon pink...It wouldn't bother me if it was in their free section, but it is in the donation section, so it does bother me.  What kind of moron would pay for that crap?  I hate that cheap maxis bathroom set so much.  In the game, in the catalogue, if I remember correctly, it's default color is that terrible green, it you want it to be white, you have to change it.  I have never seen that in real life.  You'd think that the default color on the toilet would be white.  Wouldn't you?
Sorry for ranting about that toilet, it just makes me mad!  I totally need to get a life...

Hecubus, I can't decide what to do...The meat slab dress is so horrible, I don't know if I could stand to put that on all of my female sims, especially for a week.  what to do, what to do?

And, SparklePlenty, I'm sure that is the reason why it's the bestseller.  Hecubus bought it for humor's sake, and was the only person to donate for any of their stuff, EVER.  That would be my guess...

Thank you for the link.  I just sent you a PM before I saw this.  Sorry...

Hey, did anyone notice what Carla Niven's "March Bestseller" was?
The meat-slab dress!  HA!  The meat slab dress controls me...It tells me what to do...It makes me give Carla Niven all my money...Someone help me!

*edit* Sorry, I just realized that Hecubus has already shared the news of the  March bestseller.  Guess I must have missed that.  I just got so excited when I saw that the dress was a bestseller that i had to come here to tell you all.  I didn't bother reading newer posts till after I posted.
Please don't make me walk the plank...

I can't believe I read this whole goddamn thread...
I stayed up all night reading this two nights ago.  My sleep-deprived brain thanks you all very much...

Also, i was unable to see the fashion show, I tried to and it said that the file was corrupt or incomplete.  What a bummer.
Also, I love that meat-slab dress.  I was telling my boyfriend about Carla Niven's site and the Palatial Heights site and he thought it was really funny.  Usually he gets bored when I talk about my sims or Sims related sites and forums I go on...

Heh, mine's bigger than yours..
You say yours is one inch long and one inch thick?  
Well, mine is four inches long and three inches thick.  It's basically a cock...Hmm, maybe I am a hermaphrodite!  That would be awesome!

Sorry to quote something from so far back in this thread, but I just got around to reading it.
Pescado, I was really surprised when I read that you are 66 years old.  I thought you were around the same age as my boyfriend (36) probably because you remind me so much of him.  And I didn't picture you as a zitty teen, i pictured you as a hot guy in his thirties...
I don't know if I'm right about the hot thing or not, but I guess I was wrong about the age part.  Shows how much I know, I guess.

Okay, can someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me who the fuck would want their bedroom and bathroom in the same room?  Even if it is divided by a fish tank?  Which, as mentioned in an above post, you can see through.  Wouldn't someone want privacy while they're in the bathroom?
I suppose it really is "Beyond my imagination"!

Hey thanks for putting the links to those threads, Captain Jojoba.  I wanted to know more about the HChangeri/ReligioSims/Retail Sims thing, since I have read posts around here with a lot of people complaining about one or all of those.  I read the letter from HChangeri in the Hate Mail section, where she rants about "Black Hats" and such.  She sounds like a real bitch, and me, being the drama-loving person I am, would love to read more about it!  So off I go!
Also, your signature...Those are lyrics from a Pantera song, right?  I love Pantera!

Hmm, I've been away for only a few days, and it looks like I missed a whole lotta drama.  Why oh why is it that every time I stop going on forums for a couple of days so I can actually play my game does something good have to happen on said forums?!  Oh woe is me...
Oh well.  Elmo, I just want to know, why do you create for a game you don't enjoy playing?  As I mentioned in my previous post, I do like some of your stuff, the other stuff is really not my style, and is a dime a dozen, as you seem to know.  So I'd just like to know why it is so important for you to keep creating?  And what is this "I have an obligation that I can't tell you about" bullshit?  Why would you even mention the "obligation" if you can't tell us what it is.
Oh, and by the way, maybe you do intend to put all that stuff in, and I realize that you don't send people to blank pages, but I still get annoyed when sites have sections advertised that don't have anything in them.  You can get annoyed at me for mentioning that all you want...
I know this has been a redundant post, I'm basically just summing up what everyone else has said, but I just can't go without throwing in my two cents!

Heh, CaptainJojoba, Carla probably wouldn't even buy her shit.
And actually, it's Lhop, I was just too stupid to capitalize the "L" when I signed up for the account.  So everyone thinks it's Ihop.  I guess that's what I get for not paying attention to how it looked when I typed it.
