Actually, there is a site where many SMB members have retreated to...

http://sims2world.freeforums.org/index.php

Most of us can be found there.

I sure am glad to know that it was obvious (at least to some) that things weren't right... like.... <remembers back> as a matter of fact, when they officially banned me (for no obvious reason), I hadn't even been on the site in days, nor had I talked to anyone there. :S

Oh well, whats done is done.  All that is left to do is figure out what the heck just happened. LOL

Yeah, it's quite amazing.  It has been a good learning experience for me, though, in trying to run my own site.  When handling a situation, I think of two WWJD instances... the first, What Would Jesus Do? (And I try to do it that way), and then I think of What Would Jan Do (And I try my absolute best to shy away from that direction). LOL

Yeah, I never believed any of that about SvetLanka and that lesbian crap.  I do not really know Svet personally, but I am good friends with Tiya Marie, and Tiya Marie is good friends with Svet.  Tiya told me that none of that about Svet is true, and I believe her.  Svet was always quiet, and she always  did whatever she was asked, and (publicly at least, and I would assume privately) she never did anything wrong.

The letter that I wrote (that I later took down, as explained in PetuniaMaeWitherbottom's post) was written out of anger, and that is why I took it down.  But, I still believe most of everything said in it.  I still have it, and I just read over it the other day.  

Jolee and David weren't stalking SMB and Katy.  They would glance at the site every now and then, but who didn't?  Whenever my I.P. address cycled and the applet didn't recognize me as banned, I would look around every now and then, too.  But that isn't stalking.  I don't know where they get the idea that they were stalking, because that is load of crap.  I know Jolee (Guitarz) personally, infact "Friends" isn't exactly what you would call our relationship, so I can tell you for a fact that she was not stalking SMB.

Yup!  SMB certainly didn't discriminate against gender... lol I'm guessing that y'all all know that I am a guy?  I know it took a while for that detail alone to get out. lol

I made it!!  Thanks to those of you who discovered that numbers are simply not allowed, lol!  After days of trying to register, I am finally here!  Incidentally enough, PetuniaMaeWitherbottom just relayed my message.

I am glad to see that all of the victims of SMB are grouping together and are all able to talk about it here.  My site is watched so closely that if we even so much as mention the three letters "SMB" in that order, Jan will be on my case in a heartbeat.

GuitarzRock2007 (otherwise known as "Jolee")has also been trying to register here, but evidently she has run across the same problem as me... I think she also managed to get the 2 letter brand name question wrong and currently she managed to ban herself.  She will try again in a few days.  

Jolee has simply fallen victim to crap that SMB was throwing on me.  She was banned for standing her ground on an uploading disagreement, so how on earth they pinned her for being "responsible for the end of SMB" is beyond me.  I agree that she could have handled the disagreement differently, but Jan was a little harsh on her, I think - and to claim that she is responsible for shutting SMB down, I'd like to know where he got that idea.
