Very poetic. So many things are wrong in that post:

Quote
I mourn in silence for the Sims Community and what has become of it over the years.

I do too. You're the guys who's damaged it though, not us.

Quote
Why is the Community not outraged at the stealing of private words, and the posting of private emails, all twisted to suit thieves needs?

Because it's too busy being outraged at the fact you shared the private details in the first place? Tongue Not even to just a handful of folk, either - as has been pointed out, hundreds of people have had access to people's true names, even phone numbers and addresses. A lot of damage can be done with that info.

Quote
Why is the Community not outraged at the stealing and redistribution of every FAs work against their wishes?

Because it's more concerned about the way you rip people off using EA's files, perhaps? If not for their original content and code, you would all be out of a job. Besides, as has been pointed out, everything in the booty was bought through subs, and later shared. Not before being cleaned of your malware though!

Quote
When did it become okay with pride, to boast about stealing?

Don't know. Try asking your fellow FAs sometime.

Quote
When did it become okay to wait 'in the dark' for the opportunity to attack people?

That's a good question, isn't it? Maybe you should ask your boss Tongue

They make me laugh, and at the same time make me very sad with what they don't know, or understand, and can't see.

I could say the same about you guys at TSR Tongue

You can't take art from an artist holding it hostage.  Art is inside of an artist, but they wouldn't know that.
They don't know anything.

Pfft! Don't we? Check out the "Ugliest Paysite Creation Find" or "Free Content Pwns Paysite Crap" threads sometime. The fact you guys charge for this shit just beggars belief. Which leads me to the other point - you're the ones holding it hostage by charging for it; we're the ones who free them to the masses.

Besides, Pescado and his band of Merry Men? -  Cheesy
As Mr. Worf put it, "I am not a merry man!".

In unrelated news, it looks like due to the unwillingness of the community leaders to make a stand against the TSR menace, TSR has been allowed to sweep this matter under the rug again. This is why they keep doing this, you know. No one remembers the Armenians.

That's pathetic.  I really thought they'd get caught with their pants on fire this time.

How do they keep getting away with this? Do they have that much clout in this community? Huh It's not even like they're good liars with the way they kept changing their story Undecided

Got a bit of catching up to do, it seems:

<chair macro>

LOL! Love it. That so needs to be secreted Wink

Yeah, aren't there canned animations that are assigned when you make a chair?  It's amazing that she could make it that WTF.  And, even though I know they're sims, looking at those contortionist moves creeps me out a little. Embarrassed

I don't think Peggy's latest free hair has been posted, and it definitely deserves a place in this thread.

<snip>

It's just...no one's hair is THAT big.  It looks absurd.  I think I'd fall backward from the weight of that thing.

1) Me too. The mind boggles Undecided

2) That hair looks like it escaped from an Austin Powers movie.

Why is his head so square and flat? This reminds me of Herman Munster with his hair grown out.  Tongue

<snip>

I have to agree o_O

  those pictures of the freak chair made me laugh so hard I woke up my husband!  I am going to download that set now just to see if I set floating sims!

LOL You'll have to let me know if a sim ever gets stuck like that. I feared that all the time with mine, especially with it being a legacy so I was taking pictures, and one thing you don't want in that situation is the wind changing Tongue

Side note: is it just me, or do Rose's blonde hair colors look green and/or brassy. Not natural blondes at all. Does she even know what real blonde hair looks like? Some of the brown shades look really green also.   Piss yellow does not equal blonde.

edited to add: I think Peggy suffers from the same type of colorblindness.

No, it's not just you. Peggy, I have to say, suffers from a unique colourblindness - allow me to demonstrate:



This is Dylan, wearing the hair he's had since a tot. I let him keep it right up until young adult before I'd had enough - notice the eyebrows? Yes, that's right:



His hair's meant to be this colour! Brown =/= black, Peggy! >_<

How could you not test stuff?  Even with my objects, which had limited mods, I tested all the time.  What the hell did she do to that chair to make a sim act like that? That doesn't even make sense to me.  It is a freaking chair! Why would you mess with any of the animations or behavs for a chair?

Exactly what I was wondering. It's a shame 'cause it's a nice set, but how she managed to mangle it like that just baffles me.
5  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Re: Your Ugliest Paysite Creation Find: Round Two. on: 2009 April 05, 13:34:54
Okay, I have one! I trust animation glitches count as ugly? 'Cause I've found a classic in the form of simaddict99's medieval dining set Grin

I first found this while playing another lot, and was so disgusted I deleted the table and chairs from my game. Seeing this thread made it worth re-downloading just to get screenies.


Sitting down is bad enough:





Although when seated all's fine:



It's getting up again that's my favourite - I know he's super-fit, but this is ridiculous! O_O





Thankfully he's back to normal once he starts moving:



This is why I agree with the "testing before upload" secret - how was this able to happen?!

Yaay, Calalily you're awesome I love you. You said all that the pirates wanted to say, but didn't know how (or at least I didn't know how).

Thank you.  Kiss I get so fucking sick and tired of people talking about pirates using arred games - that picture was very satisfying to take.  Cheesy

I can imagine Wink Love how they brush us off as thieves while they have at least one within their own team Roll Eyes

Great reply too, couldn't have said it better Smiley

This is one of my key problems with the "coconut did it" theory - even HAD somebody gotten Thomas' password months ago, they would have no way of getting Buggy's (since the account was unknown) during the same hack.  Since nobody outside of TSR knew what buggys account on TSR *was* (not even I did, and Steve certainly didn't give me the impression he knew either for sure when we first talked) then this doesn't cover any theft of buggys account details there. This is one of the points I am awaiting to get details back from Steve on (among other things).

Also, how about the fact that Buggy wasn't an FA.  If the hacker never got past FA accounts (Are they on a different server I wonder?) how did they get to Buggy's?


And, if they just were pretty sure they only got to FA accounts, but now that this has happened, they are wondering if perhaps the mysterious hacker got further than they thought, shouldn't they be warning their account holders about changing passwords?  

I've been trying not to speculate until more facts are known, but sometimes it gets really hard not to.   Cheesy

Even if they only got to FA accounts, warning everyone to change their passwords should've been the first thing they did. It's good business sense; by not warning your customers of a security breach (if it even happened) you make yourselves look bad and therefore lose custom.

I just hope Delphy isn't being led on a wild goose chase in all this. Call me paranoid, but I wouldn't put it past them Tongue

On an unrelated note, the official site has decided to post their own marcos, and used some of the common phrases used here, like Do Not Want. Here is a link to their marcos if anyone cares, http://thesims2.ea.com/community/lolsims/index.php

I was going to mention this on the other TSR thread that's been heavily derailed but didn't bother. The "JOIN THE DARK SIDE: WE HAVE BETTER LAMPS" one's brilliant!


Cheers for the link - I needed a laugh Wink My favourite's the [i ][/i] one Grin

I got my message too, Darq - the real crock of shit is, I never got a warning - I never even got a warning in the threads asking for clarification - I just got threads deleted and banned.  So, the ban email goes into my screen shot folder and once I figure out -who- to contact and how, its going to them.

Is it bad I'm far more annoyed at EA now, than I am at TSR?

Pff, they're as bad as each other Undecided Thomas reminds me of Tony Blair with his spin tactics Angry

Hi, by the way *waves* I've been following for a while, finally feeling brave enough to step out of the shadows. I have a theory about the SM announcement, though; aren't a couple of them working for TSR? Sounds like they're trying to cover their arses by stripping the TSR guys of their mod powers.
