You have a very generous TOU .. personally, I wouldn't even allow recolors of my meshes at a paysite: why let them profit off my work?

Of course, since I have all the talent of a cockatoo let loose with finger paints, I don't have the above to worry about.

You know what? One year the river here flooded big time.  The little town to the north of us was awash.. but our house was high enough to be high and dry.  The Red Cross came by and was almost crying because we wouldn't take anything from them.  Although my kitchen could have used a new mop, broom and cleaning supplies , I kept telling them we didn't need anything.  Finally I allowed my children to accept some granola bars.

My point:

Rum is good, banoobies is better and any content created for Sims games should be given from the heart .. just as the funds raised and the volunteer time are given from the Red Cross. Numenor needs to get over himself... I'm glad that Gnohmon (Sims 1) is free and fileshare friendly!

I wonder how hard it would be for Pescado to come up with a CEP with his own twists to it?

This is interesting coming on the heels of simlogical getting hacked recently.  

Who's next?  Hopefully.. no one.  And even more hopefully at some point karma bites the perps on the butt.

Take your pick

I prefer the clean cut Law & Order look.. but he was hot as that serial killer in The Cell!

Please to be informing me when/if you do a Bobbie sim.. I love Donfrio! My hubby looks a bit like him.. if I tilt my head and squinch my eyes just right  :lol:

If your site is going to be anything like mine.. ie anything under the sun... you'll want to add directories under public_html.. stuff like "sims2", "catpix", music.. and then under each of those sub-directories add specific directories.. just like you would in your sims2 downloads file.

It makes it much easier to find stuff ;-)  I'd just copy the stuff you have up already and "move" them to their new directory(ies).  

If other people are already linking to specific pages.. slap redirects on the html of the linked pages to their new homes for..say.. a month and then delete them.  If this is a fresh site.. just move them ;-)

I save that upper level area for important stuff.. just directories.. once inside the public_html area I add all my sub-directories and only have a few gifs that I will use throughout my site.. like a particular 1x1.gif that is just a blank pixel which I use to place images/text precisely where I want them (using size attributes). And also my index.html page.. the "front door" to my site.

Ok.. when I Mifile my stuff.. it goes to my public_html directory.. which is the directory that has all my website pages/files in it (ie not my email directory nor spam assassin etc). I can do my html and view it from the directory. There are buttons to click to create directories , webpages etc.

on my freebie account I "go into" my website directory and browse/upload from my pc. I can do my html etc from there. The basic structure is there.. I just click buttons to have things happen (like make a directory).

On my hubby's isp website.. you only see the website via the ftp client (yuck).  All work/pages is/are done on our pc only and then uploaded. But MiFiles is easy to use to create directories etc.. just sux having to do it all remotely.. when I'm used to doing it the other way.

I don't know how godaddy has its sites set up..

So once you log in to godaddy.. what kind of structure do you see? A .jpg would help to determine how you are to work around in it.

Here's the FAQs for godaddy:

So.. do you have an ftp tool on your pc? I use MiFiles http://www.simdata.com.au/products/miFiles/miFiles.htm  easy enough for me to install and use ;-)

Any other help you might need? (I know sometimes I need more than to read a faq.. having someone walk me thru stuff helps it stick.)

I sent a bit.  Although I downloaded a ton a while back.. I really didn't keep much of it in my downloads.. but I do use MATY hacks.. and do like what I kept.. so I don't mind sending some money to help out!

Also.. I have a ton of space at my website if it comes down to needing to farm out files.

Well, those of us with websites could either write up something similar or point towards Inge's page. Any sigs could point to the same thing(s) as well.

The only thing lacking is a pointer towards EA's actual stance.. something definitive such as an URL towards the EULA or something.

I remember seeing you two discuss that via the usenet ng plus it's in the .txt for the 'winker    .. so every time I see your nic I think "Lemmiwinks -->Gnohmon-->the Lemmwinker" .. but South Park also pops into my head! I love that episode.. the music, the imagery .. and the hamster most of all.

If you didn't find the Lemmiwinker .. here 'tis on this page:

Pervy scurvy?

That's all folks!

I'd guess that anyone who has access/owns a pc is educated .. to what degree depends on how you define it.



Again .. anyone who has access to a pc can come to PMBD ..  and that's not limited to whether they play sims or not .. I'm sure quite a few have stopped by for the trainwreck/flamewar effect.



Hunh? Could you clarify by what you mean? Cos I don't see the effort involved in clicking a few links/pages and reading along or even posting a comment.




Are your fingers broken? Does the "back" button elude you? There's quite a bit on the net that needs be ignored .. threads posted here being the least of which I'd be afraid of seeing/reading.

Now.. just how does one tell the education level of a poster? L337 speak, texting speak,  foreign to the English language and drunk speak   :lol:  can all cause one to read more into a post than need be.

Obviously anyone who has made it as far as PMBD is pc literate .. what their grammar level is, is moot.

So .. what defines an educated file grabber?

Perhaps one who realizes that paysites suck and that Ea's/Maxis' leniency has been taken advantage of.....

Well, if they are American they get it from being raised and schooled that way.  Precious can never do wrong and we'll just pass you along.  

I write stories and bad poetry ... but I know that my end results aren't all that great .. I write for myself and, sometimes, for my kids.  Then again I don't push for accolades or anything beyond an email link on the page (mainly for "it's broken!!" not for "Oh my gawd that was cool!").

When I was writing, back in my webtv days, I was a member of a club/newsgroup where we would post our stuff. No one but me ever actually critiqued the stories.  It was all "cool!", "great job!", and "more!". I, on the other hand, would spot big (1) grammar mistakes, mistypellings or dropped thoughts (where an idea was started but not finished). Before I could point that out I would first be sure to drop compliments .. elsewise my messages would have been ignored.

I always wished that others would have done the same for me.. because an honest evaluation of my work would only have improved the final outcome.

To get back to the sims.. I'm getting ready to put up some walls, floors and maybe a bit of recolored furniture. I know that this stuff is Oh So Not great .. but I do want to share.  I do love being part of a community and I enjoy giving back just a little, especially compared to how much I've "taken" over the years. Gives me the warm glow of belonging that webtv gave me in days of yore.

(1) huge glaring mistakes because I really suck at grammar and the intricacies of most of it escapes me.
