CatoWar is right - there are other places to look for free finds like my site. There is also a links list stickied in the top of this forum section with a downloadable freesites links list that I just finished. As a site admin myself, I know that re-organizing a 200 page thread takes time that staff members simply do not have birdsaword. I will be maintaining that list, but the responsibility of any site member once they have it is to follow the links and find their own shines. We are not a finds site- we are here to stop paysites from illegal, illicity and immoral actions- and the links list at the top of the page is all you are likely to get.

There is a lot of work staff here do behind the scenes that you don't see - like cleaning payfiles donated to the Booty so that people who insist on having pay content in the game don't end up with their computers having BFBVS's, investigating the illegal and illict actions of paysites like TSR, promoting freesites and free content elsewhere in the community like MTS and Black Pearl Sims, and checking up on which paysites have closed, become inactive, or released all pay content and gone free, as well as  assisting Pescado in everyday site maintenance stuff because between modding for Sims 3, maintaining and supporting his Sims 2 mods, and administering 3 websites and a server that holds several more sites- not just his- he does not have enough hours in the day to do everything on top of his r/l responsibilities. None of the others members have time to to help staff members re-organize threads for easier navigation either were any of said staff inclined to do so which they are not, because, many of us create for one or the other of the 3 Sims games, and run our own sites as well. It siimply isn't feasible, and not what this site is intended for. The site is what it is, and if you want the goodies you will simply have to do what everyone else has done and dig through the Freesite Creation, and Free Pawns Pay Threads, or download the links list that I posted and go on a Sims Sites Journey.


I believe that is reasonable. I am one who will actually go through the entire thread to find something cool, but I can understand where Scratch was coming from in his suggestion. I really was just responding to the fact that altering the free-finds thread is so off the point at this site....when I weed through actual, amazingly off the point things here in my lurkdom all the time.

But I totally agree with you on the time and effort it would take to do that on PMBD, when there are sites for free-finds already out there.

I do have to say I disagree with this idea. The site is not really a CC finds site; it is an activist site so these discussions would be slightly off the point.

i can name countless off the point things in this very thread-- let alone this phorum.
A member who is for the cause, has a reasonable suggestion for the freesite finds thread that other members might enjoy as well. Just making it easier to navigate..will not make this a CC finds site.

wow.
ITA mustluvcatz.
When members can't agree on a defense to the "secret", and it has brought about infighting rather than A) ignoring something that is an apparent lie and irrelevant or B) a united front showing how wrong the secret is....then its a problem.

Some members agree, some don't, and some want detailed, outlined, post-by-page-by-thread proof of every single point ---- then we should be working on a solution. There is still a cause here. I didn't know this was just a phorum for entertainment, laughing at pay penis dresses, and making sure no 12s overstay there non-welcome.
I hope there is still something new members and members of old can do now to destroy paysites, otherwise what's the point.

i'm a new PMBD member. Not new to the Sims community or to disliking paysites.
But I am my own person, and have my own ways of going about the "destroying of paysites". But I still lurk here.
I don't download any pay stuff from the booty 'cause I don't think its right. I just don't give paysites my money.
I go to a lot of free sites that have donation sets, I figured when 90% of your site is high- quality free CC, and you give people who donate to help you keep the site running the other 10% of things that you think is better (but is not all the time)--- it was all good.
Not until I read through threads here did I see that "pay is pay", and sites like Liana or Raon where on the sh#t list. Do I think they are the same as TSR or sites where nothing is free or the free stuff is crap put on the site to lure you into the pay crap?? Not really. But that's just me. I may be wrong, but I'm not above seeing where PMBD is coming from in there reasoning.

I also don't have a problem with anonymous posts b/c if the ish that is posted is valid...a name or face matters none. I think that Sims secret was valid. It gave an anon opinion on PMBD-- i didn't say a true opinion, but a valid one. I wasn't written by a 12. And it may have been written by someone who gives a darn about the cause. Not everyone will like how PMBD is run, but this is not the only site to come to if u don't like pay-crap. It's not PMBD or TSR...there is a middle ground, and if u don't like Pescado's rules, then this isn't your place.

I agree with dstar...if you exclude 12s or huggety peeps from this site or the cause, you have very little pull. 12s and huggety peeps are now a large part of the Sims community. That's like trying to destroy McDonalds and not wanting overweight people or people who like little toys with their food apart of your movement...you won't get very far. 12s are 12s. They usually post first, ask questions all the time, never read the answers, and complain about meanies too much...but they also but Sims content from paysites like its candy-coated. But they need the info. I remember being 12 (ahhh!!!) and I may have done some stupid 12 ish, but I was smart enough to understand English and read and such, so I would definitely be here or at MTS if I was given the info in a decent way.

Don't really know what was happening here in 2006, 07, 08 so take my words as watered down rum if need be.  Tongue
