Phew, I will try, even if it already confused ME...

1 a couple of people talk about simscave, the pvp dls there and if it's 'allowed' to download pay stuff for free there
2 a mod pops in and tells them that the simforum generally doesn't support filesharing sites and that they should stop discussing about it & that those discussions free vs. pay always go round in circles anyway but that he/she keeps the thread open hoping that everything stays calm
3 they keep discussing if it's 'illegal' & the mod says 'yes and no', cause the eula was changed but people still connvive this and for her/him it's more about fairness and the ownership (lol) of others
4 someone quotes what he has read over at simscave
5 murano pops in and states that this statement is false and that the author of it was in the dark about the structure of the sims community + that he hopes that this thread is gonna be closed soon
6 someone posts the link to coconuts blog (guess this was the first time that anybody over there saw it )
7 everybody's whining that the discussion is pointless and that they already discussed it several times
8 solander (pimp my sims) writes reams about how he thinks a community doesn exist anymore and that pay creators are buying high-end pcs & massage chairs instead of paying traffic fees as they state
9 sasi pops in and first whines about being blamed for squeezeing money out of kids, but then claimes that solanders post was the best she has read in the last years (aha... )
10 others are cheering solander for what he wrote & sasi declares that she's stepping down as a FA stating that 'if there's no pay stuff anymore the question if it's illegal is unnecessary'
11 everybody's cheering sasi for stepping down and her statement

that's it atm, as I told ya, a bit confusing and everybody seems to contradict themself...
typos over typos, sorry...

rissa, this is pretty interesting because the thread is actually about simscave and if its "illegal" (grumble). also it's interesting that as soon as you mention filesharing there, all the wonderful people like murano and sasi are one scene...

I just read on the german simforum (haven't been there in a long time, ugh, how this place has changed...) that sasi is putting down here FAs status at the end of this month...
& I've also read this wonderful/interesting statement of murano, such a nice and likable person

thanks. I'm looking forward to it.

why? tsr has already resolved everything with paypal.

(sorry for the poor translation)

PS: like the comparison with nurse ratched, they both have those obsessions

hm, but shouldn't EA make the rules in this case as they are the real money makers here? I mean if they really would suffer moneywise by paysites shouldn't they forbid them?
