There are multiple reasons to go after people at BPS including the fact that they have several " retired" or currentSA's and FA's  on their Resident Creator/Creative Contributors staff including Cassandre, Angelamaviza, Linegud, and Ricci12882. At least two of these people are known contributors to the filesharing threads which contains content from play and compete for points freesites- and from paysites like Amasims.

 Not to mention Linegud and Angelamaviza are both FA"s and  have x-posted stuff on BPS for free that TSR has designated pay. I can see where that might tick off whomever at TSR is doing this, or maybe someone at TSR has a grudge against BPS which given the whole Reflexsims debacle and TSR's role  and the fact that all the good creators at Reflexsims including TSR FA's and SA's told Reflexisms to fuck off and then left and  founded BPS  would be a reasonable assumption.

I -won't- use something sponsored by TSR.  I won't judge people by their company - plenty of folks who are even more generous of spirit and optimistic than me out there, who'll keep giving chances.  And coming from me, that's saying a lot - I'm always getting grumbles for how -I'm- an apologist.  But TSR has been spitting on the community since Sims 1 and the great paysite migration [which is to say, all the popular sites deciding they could charge].  They have shown themselves to be crooks, cybercriminals, and worse.  Good luck to those insisting on continuing to trust them, or influence them to change their ways.  I think you'll need it.  I'd think by now the example of BPS and how they were treated - a neutral party - would be warning enough, if all the other things weren't.

Everyone else has said it some much better, but there is my 2 cents.

She hasn't asked for forgiveness- she hasn't posted anything anywhere about why she went pay,

The pay section has now been abolished. Don't be surprised if she begs for forgiveness out of the blue.  

It is not that I don't like her content- I have some of her things to. It is more that I lack trust. and I don't trust her not to do it again.

I agree with Paden here- we are usually pretty forgiving of paysites or pay creators who go free depending on their behavior, but Cordophile has really royally fucked up by being free- and then going pay and making formerly free stuff pay, and then switching back with no explanation whatsoever. I would be more likely to forgive her if she had come right out and said she is having money troubles or whatever. But now not so much. It is not that she owes any of us an explanation, but providing an explanation would have been the polite thing to do. I don't trust her not to do this again, or to just up and close her site and move her work somewhere like TSR.

Wow. I thought that MSFS was a "new" creator. Hell, he even had the nerve to say that he'd never shared a creation before that dining set because he thought his stuff wasn't worthy and that surely nobody would like it 

The notice on the site says this:


Quick, someone warn him not to do this!  There's no way he can guarantee his files will be free and he will have no control over them at all once they are uploaded.

If he ever decides that he wants them off the site, they won't honor his request.  How many people do we know that this has happened to?  It feels like a countless amount of people..

While it wouldn't surprise me that T$R is full of the computer equivalent of STD's, I am curious how someone could get a virus from there unless they download.  Even if they download, wouldn't they have to unzip and run something to get infected?  Does the T$R site have scripts that try to dl stuff onto your machine without notifying or asking you?  Wouldn't NoScript stop that?  Is T$R doing something else that could give you viruses?
