The Pirate Ship / ARR! / New Paysite!! Fairywitchsims

Indeed it is her. She said so on fairywitch in a blog post.
"Many people will still know of my old site, beewitched.com which offered many many downloads for over 3 years for the Sims 1 and, for a while, for the Sims 2 also, which I closed due to a real burn out by creating for The Sims Resource and for my own site at the same time. It's been quite a while now and since I have missed maintaining my site like hell, missed making graphics, missing playing with my simmies, here I am again. :p"

The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Shino&KCR, or "wait.....what?"

ok this my last post
@yaardarm enough. is that ok for you how much do you? (i am not really interested) and what does this to do with subject anyway?
You all just dodge the questions i ask and keep on bashing cause you want it that way. I think "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you." says it all. That's all this community is destroying another community namely TSR.
If you put the time and effort you put in destroying something into creating something this world would be a better place. Thats just my opinion.
And if you can't get the logic behind nobody force me to give you something and nobody force you give me something. I can't help.
I never made a big deal about why i am now on tsr nor did hide it behind something like the greater good. TSR is largely destroying themselves. They do things that are seriously wrong, we merely point them out and go, wtf? Since you seem to think that we've avoided all your questions, which if you go back and read most of the posts you can get the answers, I shall repost your actual questions and answer them for you or tell you where they were answered so you can go review said answers.
And you didn't answer the question we need to pay for the game to you know. The point is not that you have to give me money, it's why am i evil if i don't give you something?
You aren't evil. No one said that you were evil. It's 'evil' of you to assume that we must pay you for fan creations for a video game. It's a stupid idea really. I want to know if there is more reason to your actions then just greed, jealousy and the i hate everything attitude that comes naturally with the puberty. This was answered by myself and a few others on page three and four. Those are the only questions that I can seem to find. Everything else was mostly assumptions and statements made by you. But if you have anything else you wish to ask, I'm sure someone will be happy to answer very quickly. We're aren't hiding anything. We're doing exactly what was meant to be done with custom content: sharing it with the entire community. Not holding some hostage until someone pays for it. All of the items on the booty were paid for, so there was no stealing involved. And the idea of a 'greater good' is very idealogical. In a situation like this, there is a right and there is a wrong. The wrong is making people pay for content. The right is sharing it with everyone. There are no shades of gray in this situation, at least none that I can see. And now that I think about it, I fail to see how we're being greedy when many pay for these items, only to share them with everyone. Isn't that the complete opposite of being greedy? |

You miss understand what i am saying i have not that big of a problem understanding why you sharing the content of the game. I did never say we did go to TSR because we didn't get our bandwith paid for. That fact played only a little towards the decision to go there.
The thing i'm curios about and find a bit strange, is that you justify your greed with the greater good.
For example say something like there are people in poor foreign country we are trying protect from you. I mean come on give me break. I am sure they way bigger problems then getting all content there is for sims 2.
You shouldn't have to pay for the custom of a game. Nobody force you to do so. There tons of free content for sims 2 more then for any other game i know of. Even your "enemy" namely TSR has 21418 sets free for download. And we to have free content on our site. But you gotta have it all, sry but thats just greed plain and simple. No one force you to have 50 gb download folder.
Why MTS2 never holds sets hostage?
The question on it's own is hilarious. You can't take something hostage that belongs to you. If i make a set i think i am entitle to choose which persons i want to share it with.
And the answer is cause such nice people that they carry such a big weight for you and me too of course. They have big problems raisin enough money for the server costs every month and put loads of their own into it so you can appreciate it for free. And did give them something back for it.
And last but not least it's untrue, you need buy the game in order to make content for it. I giggle at how much you show your own greed every time you post. You say that the fact you had to pay for bandwith but that was only part of the reason you went to TSR. So tell me, does your greed somehow magically become less of an issue than our alleged greed? Because you keep speaking about our 'greed' as though it is something vile and nasty. Yet for the most part ignore anything about your own greed, as if it is not as important. Double standard? I think so. Can't take something hostage that doesn't belong to you, you say? Tell that to TSR. They missed the memo. I don't need it all. In fact, I don't want it all. I just want what should be available to me for free. It's not about the objects in my mind, it's the fact that these items aren't available to me because someone is being a greedy bastard. That to me is the bigger issue. I would like the option to download them just like I can download things from MTS2. But no, I'm denied access to these items because I'm not willing to pay a greedy person. |

As some of you may have noticed, i didn't take the our Site off and i never intended to. I posted the way i did for 2 main reason.
1. To give you a big target that feeds your expectation of us.
This part should provoke reaction and worked out pretty well i think.
2. To raise the question "Why is it bad move to keep your old content free even if you go pay?"
That part didn't work as i expected cause, i guess i made the target to preeminent.
So i ask the questions now more direct. Yes we did go to TSR for selfish reasons, but how do you think keeping our free site up is selfish too. I really don't get it, we don't get money out of it, we don't get praised for it, and we have to pay money for it. On top of we restrict the download potential of our sets at TSR and giving you an easy way to get them in your booty. So how is this a selfish and evil move from our side?
My reasons for being here and talk to you despite the fact that expect you to just flame me. I want to know if there is more reason to your actions then just greed, jealousy and the i hate everything attitude that comes naturally with the puberty.
I mean you speak so low of the people the sims community is build on and i don't talk about us in particular. The way i understand you everyone that donates something or subscribes to TSR is an idiot cause he could get it for free. I mean without people donating there would be no MTS2 for example.
And you think creators are your peons who work all day for you.
You talk about the community, hide behind sentences like, we want to protect the community from the evil that paysites are, don't make me laugh. All that drives you is greed. The thing that drives a community is the give and take of its members. You take and take and take and the second somebody stops giving it to you turn into a little child running in circles crying "i want i want i want".
I hope my words weren't too insulting, but i wanted to show you the 2d picture i have of you. I hope you can prove me wrong but i don't expect it.
There are only a few people in this thread i want exclude out of this picture and i want to address some good point made.
First of all the all time favorite you learned it on MTS2 for free and now you want money for it. Of course we took something namely knowledge out of the MTS2 community, but i think we gave something back too, in form of the sets we uploaded and donations.
Then there is you should be willing to spend a little money on your hobbies. As i understand it, one of your hobbies is playing sims, so why aren't you willing to spend some money on it? And if you do something you like and someone gives you money for it why shouldn't you take it.
And last but not least "You don't win friends when you go pay". You don't win friends by paying for them.
ps: to all the flamers posting that you don't bother to post is just stupid and was the entertainment i wanted to get out of my last ps Pot, meet kettle. There's is a major difference between us and the paysite owners/creators. We don't get anything of value out of what we do. Nothing. Nada. Zip. (And don't say that these creations are worth something. They aren't) Greedy? Perhaps. But is it wrong to desire something that should be free anyway? The point we have here is that paying for content is not only complete and utter shit, but it's also illegal. We're finally taking a stand and saying we're tired of it. If you don't have the money to run a site, then don't do it. Simple as that. If you like to create stuff for the sims, that's awesome, create away. It's your choice. No one is forcing you do it. This isn't a job where you MUST do it. This is something everyone should simply be doing for fun. Not for a quick buck. And that's what even you now said you are doing. Again, pot meet kettle. The reason it's bad to keep your content free somewhere else? I believe someone here answered that by saying something to the effect of, wanting to eat the cake and keep it too. You're making some people PAY for a creation that's also free elsewhere. Which is cheating people out of their money. That's craptastic. Oh, and I'm sure many, if not all, of these people are well past puberty. :wink: |

And I'm pretty sure that a Maxoid said something to the effect that they rotate who is invited. Or something like that. Though I could have made that up in my mind or dreamed it the other day, thinking it's real. I have a tendency to do that.

Wow, I leave the BBS for a day and find out that some simple comments have sent a TSR employee into a frenzy of name calling and middle school behavior. Ironic. Though I am glad that I left her a nice long reply on that first link that I left the other day, since she snidely commented on things that I said here. :roll:

Okay, I hail from VoteFromTheWorst.com, which means I am a serious bitch. And I'm PMSing right now, so bitchfit ahead:
Why the fuck do people keep kissing Thomas and TSR's ass and bashing Delphy and MTS2? Delphy actually is awesome, Thomas is an asshole. MTS2 is full of win, TSR is full of fail. TSR ripped me out of money (long time ago, but I'm still livid). MTS2 provides quality downloads for free. So TSR and it's ignorant douchebag followers can suck my ass.
Oh yeah, and hi. *gives Tinnerz chocolate*  |

I'm not sure whether I should feel sorry for her or scratch my head. I guess she kind of brought it upon herself. If she had just calmly evaluated the situation instead of overreacting, definitely would have been better for everyone. Oh well. Can't win 'em all I guess.

I guess it kind of makes sense, in a mainly obscure way. It took me a bit, but I think the point is that even though your friend did invite the girl over, she did it only to be nice. Just because she invited her over doesn't mean that she agrees with this girl, who ripped off your friend's party idea thingie, and it doens't even mean she likes her.
Yes? No? I'm going to say yes, because I can. Exactly. I was so excited to talk about Harry Potter that I forgot to add the fact that my friend definitely didn't approve of the other girl's actions. Silly me. |

Uh oh, be scared, be very scared... Here's what she's posted today. Her husband works for the guvmint? Probably pushing pencils in some large depot department... There had even been some speculation in the past that she really doesn't have a husband.
"I wanted to let all of you know:
We have had so many phone calls since this forum had put up our
personal imformation that we got no sleep do the phone ringing.
We still are getting them so Joe has called the police to come and
look at our computer and to look at the link where our personal
imformation was. I had copied and pasted it and save it in case we
needed it.
Now the police officer went to this forum and read everything that
was put there. The police are now going to set up something so people
like this will and can not get your personal imformation.
Our phone calls will be going through them from now on. The police
have set up something on our computer to read all messages that we
get. This was a life threatening thing that they did to us.
My husband is goverment and we have to be careful that the
imformation does fall into the wrong hands.
Jan" Wtf? That seems a bit off to me. I'll ask my father later, since he's actually in investigations for the local PD. I don't really think the cops can do that much. Why would anyone here want her personal information anyway? So we can go to her house and laugh at her? Honestly. |
