796  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Have the paysite debates changed your mind? on: 2007 January 05, 16:55:18
Quote from: "Renatus"
Wait wait wait, comparing something to do with a game with substances and activities that kill thousands of people every year and are nothing like said game activities? Robin Hood? SUING PEOPLE OVER A GAME?

*head explodes from the vortex made by the sheer lack of logic in this thread*



We are dealing with the game's pixel graphics here. There isn't any logic in suing people over game content anyway. It's just a game that we all like playing.

I was just saying that people take it too far. The analogy was only HALF serious. Cheesy :lol:

And there HAVE been other people on this site (namely paysite-defenders) who actually mention Robin Hood. More than one. Most saying we're not. I was taking it into account.  :lol:

*tries to find a mop and a bucket to mop up Renatus's exploded brains*

A whole wardrobe of pants that fall off your but, clothes made out of garbage bags and tinfoil.  Who wouldn't want to wear it  :lol:



Ah, precisely. Where do we queue up?

Unfortunately, in its world, that sentence wouldn't be sarcastic...

To me bodybuilders are the ugliest damn things to walk this planet. Give me a guy who has limbs like they're made of string cheese anyday.


Agreed. 100%!

Give me the guy in Piratebooty's avatar, don't know who he is , he's yummy though. (at least in that pic)


Russell Brand hot yummy UK meat


I thought it was!!!! He makes me laugh. Cheesy He's very silly.


I love (some of) Sshodan's male hairs. It's sad she's leaving, but I won't miss her. She was a bit drama-queen-y. But I want that hair on the leaving page! Isn't that cruel of leaving artists--they upload taunting pictures of unreleased meshes which are ALWAYS their best work and most wanted...*cry*
As for the self-centred-ness: ugh! Hate it. Why is it that half the meshing population think the world should revolve around them?
It's worse when it's recolourers, though. Recolourers who think the world should revolve around them are even more bigheaded.


As for Brandi, well, I always wipe that neighbourhood.  :lol: I've never played any Maxis sims. EVER. Sims1 OR 2.

paysite supporters are just as bad as paysite owners, simply because they support illegal activity.  Would you fund drug dealers?


Well, I wouldn't call myself a supporter, exactly, but I do pay for a lot of custom content.

No comment about the drug thing. Tongue


Yes, but you share with us. You're not buying because you want to give every last one of them your money and get nothing but a bunch of pixel graphics back out of it. You do it so that you AND THE POOR PEOPLE get nothing but a bunch of pixel graphics out of it and you get the warm fuzzy feeling of joy that you HELPED.

I had created a weird analogy when I was half asleep this morning:

Paysites remind me of Robin Hood and homeless people.

Paysites are taking from the poor, so it's like a business (and therefore the Sherriff of Nottingham). The people on this site are like Robin Hood and we're taking from the rich, but not necessarily to just give to the poor. It's like baking a million cakes and laying them out in front of people who know what they like. They can choose the apple tart if they want to, or the sponge if they'd rather. Or they can have both.
I mean, we allow you to buy food for the homeless. We bought it first and gave it to you. They're like gifts. Why shouldn't we be allowed to buy pixel graphics and let more than one person benefit from them? I know I let people have the stuff I download with my subs, so why shouldn't we do it good and proper(ly) and publicly?

Sorry for the random analogy, but that's another way I feel about paysites. And it has nothing whatsoever to do with the legality factor.

Plus I talked to my parents about this debate (without actually stating anything about this site or that I was a part of it) and they told me that it isn't illegal because if you made a masterpiece using MSPaint, you shouldn't have to give them any money coz it's your masterpiece. That made me mad so I explained about the user agreement and they said by checking the box, you've agreed to the contract, and by breaking the contract you are liable to be sued.

I think all paysite owners should be sued.

The last thing I think is that every paysite supporter comes on this site and mentions how some people are living out of their sims donations. What I wonder is; why haven't any of these people mentioned TSR? TSR definitely aren't doing it because they need the money to live. Whatsisface-Thomas-guy must be a bloody millionaire by now. You can't rewrite history to suit yourselves.

(I'm doing Law at school. We should be doing contract law soon. I'll tell you the punishments. Cheesy Cool )

Yeah BLUUUEEEE!!!!

It made me laugh too. Cheesy However, her boobs look more like netballs to me.

Good point...why WOULD anyone want to marry Carla Niven? And I pray nobody would let it at material IRL. Imagine a Real Life Carla Niven Design Label!!!!! AAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Well, I live in a world where best friends get cars for their 17th birthdays (Pescado, you can't drive when you're 12. If you could, I'd have said "for their 12th birthdays." ^^^^^^) while I don't. I can understand why it'd want to live in a fantasy world. Sometimes the real world sucks.
However, I don't understand why anyone would want to marry a rockstar named "Wolf".  :roll:

 :wink:
803  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Have the paysite debates changed your mind? on: 2007 January 04, 19:58:37
I have, rather unfortunately, donated for 6 sites. Without a) my parents' permission and b) my parents knowing. Not good.
I mean, I have my own credit card, but yeah...
6 months ago I'd have defended paysites with my life. Probably. Actually, I wouldn't have, but yeah. I received an email inviting me to join SFV and I thought it was a scam! It was surely illegal, I told myself.
My friend told me about this site a few weeks ago, and my first thought was, isn't that illegal? She sent me to the title page and I read through all your information, and guess what? Now I hate paysites with a PASSION, would NOT defend a SINGLE ONE and am also trying to warn others of the evil that calls itself DONATION SITES. Donation my arse.
So yeah, I went from 100%-paysite adorer to 100%-paysite hater. And here, in my little seat on the pirate ship floating between PMBD and SFV, shall I remain, in my little happy glory. Yay! Cheesy Cool

After following this thread for a while and dying with laughter every time, I have decided to comment.


I fear immensely for "its" sanity. Has Carla Niven been introduced to a proper design program yet? Can someone on here introduce it to one? It needs help. Oh yeah, do we have any colour tutorials it might like to use?

Those trousers are not right. The crotch!! The crotch! Oh my eyes, they burn.

And what possessed you, honey, to think that little flappy tinfoil duck wings could cover those netball monstrosities? That dress'll fall off soon...maybe she has lingerie tape? That'll explain why she manages to stay in that dress and why those trousers don't fall off her arse...


(I'm sticking to the term "it" because I can't work out if Carla Niven is male or female. I think it's neither. Maybe it's an alien with a bad dress sense? Or a robot that's polluting our brains with its awful taste in designs! Yeah, that'll be it...)

Thank you to the world and the fish who created this all. Pescado you rock! And as much as I hate being 12, I can quite happily stay 12 for another year if I'm connected to this! ^^^^^^^^^
I congratulate Pescado for creating this, and I commend BlueSoup and all other filesharers for being awesomely good sports. I also thank everybody who has made me realise why I shouldn't have got a one-month Peggy sub 3 days before discovering this site, and also why my monthly SimChic sub is useless. Thank you all!! Kiitos my friends!



Now Tchan you can save money up for Seasons Smiley pak, rather than getting more subs.


Good point! Cheesy And SPORE. ^^^^^  :twisted: We AAAAALLLLL have to get SPORE....
