Rant ahead:
The community paid for that site. You damn well bet it was the community's site. Kathy just popped in occasionally to bitch and whine and blackmail. As for the insiminator, it's just in-game cheats applied to in-game graphics. Yeah, boy howdy, Kathy and Eric sure did a fuck of a lot for everyone, didn't they.
You know what, I'm really ticked off that no one, including me, called Kathy and Eric to the carpet for their bullcrap. So many of us saw that something seriously fishy was happening. We didn't say anything because it was a "free" site, and because anyone who tried to go up against Kathy would be screamed at by her and many of her followers. That's fucked up.
I think paysites are at least partly to blame for this. The Sims community is ready to lay down and worship at the feet of anyone who runs a free site, no matter what shit the freesite owner pulls. This is NOT NORMAL. Other gaming communities do not do this. In other communities, shockingly, it's quite normal for modders/hackers/creators to thank people who use their products. Here, because of paysites, if a creator doesn't charge, they are apparently to be worshiped and never questioned. After all, no matter how much disgusting bullshit owners of freesites pull, they're free so let us worship. It's outrageous.
neriana I've been thinking on that for a while. I agree that paysites are partially to blame but I also think that its a backlash from the paysite debate.
Now it seems that its normal for
some freesite owners as well as free creators to treat people like shit cuz hey they're free! as if just being free elevates you to some sort of saint status.
As for the insim I've posted some things there a long time ago but mostly lurked and downloaded as I understand a lot did, what makes me mad about what K&E did that insim was a community not a business and they just sold off without as much as "so long and thanks for all the fish" to the people that helped them to build that community as well as all the people that made it what it was, what a way to tell people that they mean shit.
(I hope that made sense cuz I'm sick like a dog right now)
