I think there is an unwritten law that says at least one child must be missing for a short time during any family visit to an amusement park.

A simple, "Due to personal issues, donations are requested at this time to help get the forum on it's feet.  Please give anything you can via x to get to our tentative goal of x.  Thanks for your support," posted on SFV would go a long way towards making it a more inclusive situation without being terribly specific. Sure, there are going to be people who bother you for more information, but that's always going to happen. 

Coming to another forum, rather than posting on your own, is going to cause questions just like the ones already asked.  I get that rds is kinda playing monkey in the middle.  SIH(understandably) has bigger fish to fry, and rds is trying to satisfy those asking questions.  If you have time to email, you can delegate some responsibility to another willing soul.  If you really don't want to deal with the hassle, then just close down the forum altogether and let the chips fall where they may.

That's just my 2 cents, with no ax to grind, based on what I've seen here and other sites since the forum went down this last time.

Saraswati, those recolors are simply DE-vine.  I'm gonna have to get FT just for them.  Thanks for giving me a fully justified reason!

If I recall correctly, they were made by Serasims.  But I rarely recall correctly.

To state the obvious...that is the most fucked-up looking thing I have ever seen.

Think you guys missed this part.  :wink:

Smart RaiderGirl, I read it in one long marathon session and went blind for a short period of time.

Why the fuck should EA make a stand against pay sites?  They might offend someone who'll spend money on their shit.  Better to sit on the fence and rake it in from both sides.  I've loved the Sims since the first incarnation, but this shit is getting ridiculous.  *smacks EA on head with rolled up newspaper*  Bad EA!  Borking computers is bad!
