My husband was walking by just now as I opened this thread and caught site of those sims. He cried out, "Good God, what ARE those shit-ugly things!? This from the man that can watch any horror film and not get grossed out, mind you. He was totally appalled by those things and went on to beg and plead for me not to buy a game that can produce such hideous things even by accident. I told him they were paysite creations and his reply was that he didn't care because those things were bad enough to scare Freddy, Chucky, and Jason at the same damn time. Huh, so much for Mr. Cool.

OMG, it burns, BURNS!! If I wasn't already near red/orange colour-blind, I'd definitely be there now!

Nothing average or self-respecting about that show, from what I've read.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "where the good Lord split ya", now doesn't it?

That left an image that I could have done without... Bare ass, megaphone with a bearded guy screaming into it and the target jumping about five feet straight into the air.

It's true, anime has much to answer for in terms of, "WTF were they thinking," when it comes to hairstyles.

I think it's their way of trying to appeal to non-Asians and get money from them.

It's been said in the past by people I once knew that TSR accepted PayPal. Kids have the damndest ways of getting Mummy and Daddy to pay for things when they nag and gripe long/loud/hard enough; they'll do it just to shut them up and get them out of their ears about it. Too bad the parentals aren't doing any checking up on what their money is going for, though. Another example of the folks not being involved in what their kids are doing.

Handing out that information was one of the most atrocious things they've ever done, to be honest. Think about it. How many people have had their info shared, sites hacked, attempted ID theft going on in their lives because of it? Plenty. The worst part of it continues to be that TSR feels justified, STILL, in doing what they did, even though people are now having, and have had, troubles like that because of their piss poor judgement over who could and could not be trusted. "Nothing personal, it's just business," is more than likely the motto they keep repeating in their heads. The thing is, businessmen, GOOD businessmen, don't behave in a manner calculated to cause harm to someone's credit/identity, no matter the cause. They roll with the punches and move on.

There are books and reports and guidelines written about how to conduct a good business, but from what has been shown, TSR has never seen a one of them. They wouldn't study them if they were handed to them free of charge, because TSR as a business doesn't have a right to exist and deep down, they know it. Sure, it's an off shoot of a parent company, but the selling of pixels for a video game that they do not own is not kosher or legal. So, they use illegal methods to keep and defend their illegal monetary gain.

We've heard the arguments against paysites, hell, we've made many of them here on this forum. But at the end of the day, we at least can feel safe knowing that we wouldn't stoop to doing the crap against them that they have undertaken against us. The only reason TSR exists as it does is to make the almighty dollar. Not for the sharing, not for the learning, not for the community. They could have all of that without the money. Thing is, they want the money so they throw the "community" aspect in there as a bone to keep people coming back and from going elsewhere.

Even at the root of instability, there must be at least a kernel of truth? Or something that keeps her believing in the delusions. Sad, really, that such devotion couldn't be turned into healthier avenues. Energy like that harnessed into something meaningful would be a wonderful thing to achieve. As it is, it's just wasted time and effort on her side, which is rather pitiful when you stop to think about it. I don't know if I ought to feel sorry for her or disgusted with the way she's been used by TSR, or come to the conclusion that they deserve each other.

We all know what a paragon of sanity and culture LyricLee is, too.

Wow, you wouldn't think Anita was much of a racist after reading that, now would you, kids? I'm sitting here just shaking my head in disbelief and hoping that Anita is again making things up because if Delphy were indeed to be on her side, there would be more trouble than I can imagine. (I can't imagine Delphy wanting her garbage posted at MTS, though, they do have quality standards there.) I'm hoping that all of that is one of her delusions. And no, they didn't get all of us pirates because some of us didn't think that petition would get us anywhere. It's been said before and I'll say it again, that woman is nuttier than squirrel shit.

Cats may not have buckets, Ken, but they do have litter pans with which they can store nasty contents within. Those contents can then be flung at paysite owners that dare to show their faces where they aren't wanted while they try to weasel out of things they've done. Cats: they supply the ammunition!

None taken, just felt like being a stinker. Cabin fever, I haz it.

*raises eyebrow* Hmph, I like that, cat macros are some of the more popular macros on the internet. Fucking meow.
