Well I have been on the fence about this for some time and I've finally gone and done it, this is what I've posted at two of my popular stories at TSR. Many people opt to be made aware through email when a favorite story has updated so I am sure many will see this! At least I hope they do! Here is what it said in Safaatville Liyah's Legacy and My Not So Perfect Life:
"After finally sitting on the fence on this issue I am finally plunging head first into the great abyss of the paysites versus free site debate. I must admit that I did not want to choose a side as I believe if someone wants to charge for something that they have spent time and energy on that should be their choice. However, I personally put countless hours into getting the right screenshot and creating stories and wouldn't dare to ask for recompesense in this as it is something that I love to do, a hobby. With that being said I must say that I have been growing increasingly disenchanted with the tactics by tsr and have been following
http://tsr.mustbedestroyed.org/ ...and
http://phorum.mustnotbenamed.com/ , as well as using the booty for the often crappy material that I thought I wanted from the subscriber only section.
Now I learn that tsr is putting TROJANS into their files which can do GOD knows what and also causes game crashes if removed. They are also accusing users who have legitimate claims of technical issues with files of downloading from the booty and therefore being not worthy of assistance. This is ludicrous!!! I have met many people that I have befriended but I must admit that after reading coconut's blog found here and seeing some very familiar names that have helped me numerous times on this site I became flabbergasted. WHICH IS THE REAL YOU, the person condoning the spread of illegally obtained information or the person that is so helpful and encouraging?
I decided to finally break my silence because I have had enough. It was wrong for THOMAS TO HACK Buggybooz account at modthesims 2 because she exposed a feature artist for stealing her meshes! That was the last straw for me! It was wrong for THOMAS AND NAMELESS FEATURED ARTIST TO CONDONE THE PUBLIC DISPLAY OF NAMES, ADDRESSES, AND PHONE NUMBERS TO MEMBERS WHO were caught stealing as they call it (even though they steal other peoples things all the time)! IT IS WRONG TO NOT PAY A MEMBER BACK THEIR SUBSCRPITION MONEY WHEN THEY CANCEL IT OR HAVE A PROBLEM.
I AM COMPELLED TO DO THIS BECAUSE I THINK WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BUT EVEN MORE SO BECAUSE I THINK I WILL BE MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE IN REACHING MORE PEOPLE THAN MOST. You see I know that people read my stories and that like I when we favorite a story we get email updates that THOMAS OR ANY OTHER MODERATOR CAN'T TOUCH, SO EVEN IF YOU EDIT MY RESPONSE ON YOUR BOARD YOU CAN'T EDIT THE EMAILS SENT OUT TO THE READERS WHEN I FIRST UPDATE.
SO IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND WANT TO KNOW THE EXTENT OF WHAT THIS WEBSITE HAS BECOME CHECK OUT THESE LINKS AND TELL AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.
TO BILLYBOP, AUGUSTTWILIGHT, ARABIAN 1, LADYTIMEDRAMON AND THE OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN SO KIND AND HELPFUL TO ME AND WHO HAVE BEEN LOYAL READERS YOU CAN FIND ME AT BLACKEPARLSIMS.COM MRS.CICERO.
