THANKS THIS IS GREAT

What kind of dimwitted, sense deprived fucknut came up with that idea?! Like they don't think people are warm-hearted and caring enough to donate just because it's a good and worthy thing to do, they think that they have to be bribed to part with a few farthings... Goddamit, this smells of scam and pisses me off... But until we have proof of wrong-doings, we can't do a thing about it, can we?
Hiding behind a charity when we don't know if much or any of the money is going to go to the stated charity... My uncle is a shriner, he donates and gives all the time he can but right now he's bedridden. He's leaving them a good chunk of money when he dies. He does it because he never married because he couldn't have children. Mumps and they fell.
My point? People give of themselves personally, they don't use a fucking middle man. The Salvation Army has the bell ringers at Christmas time. Veteran's groups sell whatever to raise money, usually the paper poppies. Thing is, they have visible reps that you know pretty well are on the up and up. I won't donate over the internet, too many scams have been pulled.
Has anyone thought of contacting those charities to see if this group has contacted them about this way of raising funds for them? I thought that you had to be authorized by some of the bigger charitable groups to collect funds in their names. Not sure what it is, but something just does not feel right. It feels about as wrong as wearing the left boot on the right foot and it has a platform sole while on the other foot you're wearing a flat...

I find it sick she would try to lie about that. And like everyone has said before, I would never use a middle man If I were donating to charities, unless it was a real person who is, like Paden said "on the up and up."

I remember that bs with Libby. She posted a pic of her "son" at N99 in a wheelchair with bandages all over his head and his blonde hair was sticking out thru the bandages.  :shock: It looked like someone had wrapped toilet-paper around his head? (funny it was the day after the supposed BRAIN surgery he had and he was being released? ROFL!) That was what started people asking questions, no way would they release someone one day after brain surgery. (I have no idea if that's true or not)

Here's some contact info posted on this new site:

If she were on the up and up she could say donate 5 dollars to one of these charities, email the receipt to us and we will send you our donation package. Then she doesn't have to worry about dealing with paypal at all right?

Thanks Ry, Alia, and Requip for supplying your memories - was bugging the crap out of me, Project Hern!  I wasn't involved in the TS1 community at all and I heard about it just from random posts on random sites.

Anyway, my creaky old brain appreciates the jog.   Cheesy

Just consider me the walking encyclopedia of useless old sim knowledge...lol.
I've been around forever and stuck my nose into everything to see what was going on..lol.
If I can't remember then I can usually find a thread somewhere that does.

Maybe their intentions are good, but I don't need a middleman to donate to worthy causes.


Exactly, you'd think people would just donate to a charity....I mean it sounds shady (Everything sounds shady to me)

You can bet isn't true: the head is shaved BEFORE having brain surgery!


Just my imagination or the sims on that "donation pack" have Enayla's skins?

A coworker of mine had surgery done on her skull but they only shaved part of her head. Not all of it.

All three of those skins are Linda's up for sale, yet again. This is three times now. She's never going to return to creating for this community. I really don't blame her either. Guess I'll have to go buy Oblivion if I want to collect anymore of her CC. They seem to be the only community that respects what she makes and don't try to sell it.

That's terrible. I loved her art before I ever played the game, and I was so thrilled when she started creating for it. I don't use her skins an awful lot (except for aliens and plantsims) because I haven't yet made a fantasy neighborhood and I prefer my men to look a bit more manly, but they are high quality, and the latest ones are the best imo. She's someone whose talent I truly respect, and they're taking advantage of her illness to steal and sell her creations. They haven't bothered to give any credit, even. Yet again, a paysite proves who the truly disrespectful ones are.

I don't know of any community that would pull this crap besides this one. Not a damn one. Enayla makes things for Oblivion, you say? I may have to fire that up again then.
