Well, at least Carla Niven is not completely lazy and used a different model. :lol:

What impressed me the most about that is that she says it is unfair to the people who donate but really she means that it is unfair to the people collecting the donations. People are always paying more than they have to for stuff. That is part of how the system works. Most of the time, they don't even notice it. When they do, and it is important, it is called a lesson learned. Hell, some people do it on purpose. She obviously thinks that creating Sims content is a commercial enterprise and she talks like a paysite owner. It makes me wonder if she is just an avid Kool-aid drinker or if she is a plant to counter the other comment in there.

PMB is "Private Mail Box". She gave the address of a mail drop business, like Mailboxes Etc or something like that. Edit: Yeah, Mailboxes Etc was picked up by UPS and they have an outlet there. The Ups Store 1072 S De Anza Blvd San Jose, CA 95129-3500

Quote from: "sugapeach at exnemsims.com" I agree that there needs to be guidelines/ terms in place for the items and that they shouldn't be posted elsewhere for free as that would be unfair to donators. I'm thinking if someone made a set and offered an item from the set for free elsewhere that would be different, people would have to donate to get the rest of the stuff. Sigh.

Now I feel the need to puke.

My impression of TSR is that they are more interested in bringing in money than paying it out, so I have to wonder how 'profitable' it is to be bought out by TSR.

N99 is sort of like the meeting place for the TSR fan club. They have little tolerance for anything that could be considered criticism against a web site or creator. The only thing that surprises me is that JMP had access there. I guess he fixed that right quick.

N99. Laugh.

Quote from: "bethgael" In practice, often not. eg, Disney sends out "cease and desist" to all copyright violations they are aware of (and I criticise this practice, where they knock off creativity in people who aren't making money while applauding it where people charge for using their stuff). People get scared of "cease and desist" orders and so pull their stuff without checking to see if their use is covered by "fair use" first. So, what do you think Disney would do if the site refused to comply with the cease and desist? Somehow, I don't see Disney filing a lawsuit.

Quote from: "Captain Feathersword" Quote from: "bethgael" I'd suggest EA made the request for the thread to be locked. I was thinking TSR. Nah. They would want it deleted.

Quote from: "tIIsuggas" Update, the thread on the BBS has been locked by MaxoidMel. Not sure what to make of the closing statement. It means that they are not going to address the issue any time soon.

I would, but I don't see a lot of confusion or discussion going on about donations right now.

Quote from: "Soup Parrot" egads Nouk, she wants to make money off of us in a more covert way with adds and popups. I wont be at her site, might give off web trojans to. I went to her site and did not see a single ad or popup. Damn ad blockers!

On your web forum where you put your paysite disclaimer, you should change "donation is completely voluntary" to be more specific. To some people, all donations are completely voluntary. You might want to tie it back to the gifts, or getting something in return for the donation. Aside, how did it come about that selling stuff is now a donation? I guess I donate to Walmart when I go there, now?

I don't keep up with who does what for which website, so forgive me if this is common knowledge. I like how the person (beosboxboy) at Insim that trimmed the Exnem thread is featured in LyricLee's latest ad in the thread. I guess there was no conflict of interest there. :roll:
