im also seeing that the domain for TSR is owned by a Johan Isacsson, which is interesting, as ive been told by someone else that its meant to be owned by a steve something?
strange. can anyone give me any more info i can use?
EDIT - it appears that this Johan Isacsson also uses the name Thomas Isacsson, which i beleive should ring a few bells Actually, TSR's staff page lists Thomas and Johan as two different people: Thomas Isacsson - Graphics/Design & HTML, Founder Thomas was also one of the original founders and has worked with TSR since the very beginning. He is the person responsible for all graphical elements and the layout of the site ever since the first TSR redesign several years ago. He is always working on ways to improve the overall layout and usability of the site. View my profile Johan Isacsson - Programmer, Founder Johan is one of the original founders as well and is probably unknown to many. He was the person who built the first downloads archive and the first pieces of functionality when TSR was opened several years ago. He is always working on ways to improve the functionality of the site.

Eh. I doubt it - believe it or not, there are plenty of people who aren't Atwat and take the paysites' side in this little debate.

And some really delicious pesto pasta from this health food store near my house. My sister has been tempting me to go vegetarian lately, and with food like that, it's working...

Have any of you ever lived for a long time in another country? I'm wondering how much slang habits change if you live somewhere else. I have a professor who's Australian, and he curses up a storm when he's speaking freely (i.e. one-on-one, not in lectures, obviously) but it's almost all American or at least generic English-language curses. I've heard him say "bloody" once, and that's it. (He also calls his friends "mates".) The rest of his curses are pretty normal for Americans: he calls people "assholes" if they're "full of shit", he wonders "what the fuck" people are thinking, and he calls people on their "bullshit" (or "bullcrap"). Do slang habits change to fit the country you're in?

The Helga hair is much nicer, and probably a lot lower polys - Raon's poly counts are ridiculously high
I don't know about polys, but I have trouble with Helga's textures (and Raon's too, for that matter). Luckily, there are plenty of wonderful free creators doing retextures. I think the ones I have for that mesh are from either Sailor or Dachshunds4me.

OK, so what I'm getting from your PMs, Tomato, is roughly:
-Atwat is a little unstable, and calls out sick due to this online stuff pretty often. -She lied about why Sherrie was basically banned from being an artist there. Atwa made some shit up about subpar creations and Sherrie lying and distorting things (I didn't totally follow Atwat's story there, probably on account of it's false and makes no fucking sense), but it was actually because Sherrie was offered a position at wickedsims, which BlueSoup donated to. -Thomass makes shit up about TSR's terms of use and doesn't actually know what defamation means (i.e. it has to be false).
What am I missing? Anything big?

Would this happen to be the same danicast as the one at GoS? I'm pretty sure it is. It's not a common handle, I don't think, and the posting style is similar. She's pretty cool at GoS, and she seems to be contributing positively here, so I'm not really inclined to care that she didn't fit in at MATY. Here's a link to what shigayama is talking about. I don't find it particularly incriminating; she just acted like a bit of a noob is all.

(This link may have been posted earlier in the thread; my apologies if so. Someone was going to do it instead of me - I don't see it, but that doesn't mean I didn't just miss it. ) I posted it somewhere, but I think it's buried somewhere. Page 41 or so, maybe?

TSR and Simfreaks always had direct contact with EA, since 2000. I know because I read several messages from EA staff posted at the "closed for members" area at Simfreaks board when I was there as a creator, before Simfreaks went pay. Simfreaks and TSR had at that time a very friendly relationship. Heather got access to special tools to make furniture and other customizations all provided by Simsplus owner (I forgot his name) who was once EAxis employee, according to her. Thatīs how Simfreaks and 7Deadly Sims had perfect z channels while most of people were making those handmade. When Simfreaks went pay they had a meeting at EAxis and they were celebrated as a "successfull small business". All of this happened before the EULA changed. At that time Maxis wanted to keep all sites running because this meant, of course, help to sell the game more. I suppose they still have the same contact and it is not with Maxoids, itīs people from the administrative and develop area. I know I have here, in my country. Maxis always tried to not get involved in paysites discussion because all customized sites helped them to sell the game. Itīs also interesting to notice that there is not paysites in my country, all players support PMDB and freely redistribute stuff from paysites, it was always like this here. It is considered illegal by our laws as any other kind of atempt to "claim copyrights" involving anything from games, they belongs to their developers, end of story.
That's good to know, thanks. It seems plausible that they could have contacts working specifically as moderators or Maxoids on thesims2.com, in addition to the things you mentioned. Thomass wanted any reports of piracy to go through Steve to TSR's "friends over there" rather than using the normal report system. So they must have contacts that can ban people from ts2.com, and I doubt the administrative people or the developers could do that (or would know how - it's kind of not their job). It sure sounds like they've got Maxoids on their side too.
