you thought they weren't??? Now I can't vouch for anyone anymore but a few years ago before sims2 was even dreamed of, several tsr members and I shared pay files with each other. I had the extra cash and we were friends. Friends share. I bought the files and I could do what I liked with them.
Sorry - I was being a bit sarcastic.
And considering how far they will go to hurt those they find sharing, I find it incredibly disgusting that they would sink so low. They don't care when you shared, or if you've never paid one red cent to a paysite - they want to punish you anyway.
I'm disgusted by their carelessness in protecting privacy, aren't they violating their own terms of use? I am also dismayed to see someone I was so close to become a hypocrite. It was very important to both of us that our site be completely free, not even a donation button and now this. I looked up our site and it's been suspended. Who knows for how long it's been gone. It just irrates me, you think you know someone...
