Lovely little site this. I have no idea of the story behind their latest news post but I'm really quite sickened at at some of the comments posted on there. Take this one:

def. love how you keep us waiting for 8 months give us a shit update during halloween (which shouldnt even be considered an update) and then you go and say that your gonna leave after two sets which we will prolly never see, or will take you 2 years to get up here.

LOVE the dedication.

What a fucking flangemat.
I don't don't blame the owner for wanting to throw in the towel if it's because of nasty little self-entitled shits like this, but pop over there, and maybe send them a note of thanks for all their hard work

That's too bad that they get those messages. I go on that site quite often after finding out about them on the wiki because they have some really nice unique objects. It's a really neat lesser known site in the community.
I left them some encouraging comments, hopefully they won't give up because of that one asshole.
I really do think the owners are about ready to quit because the site was down for quite sometime a while back. :cry:
If they do give up their site, maybe they can be encouraged to move on to someplace like Wicked Sims 2 rather than leaving the community. I noticed a few comments by Jessica on there urging them to stay too. The community feel might be a better experience and they won't get as many rude comments on there, as the fans seem to be pretty encouraging to the creators on there.
Jessica's pretty cool too, I put a sim of mine she did in a contest at S2C a while back and I liked how she put the rounds together and everything. It was really fun.

Wow! I absolutely love that site - their downloads are so cool.    Thanks for the linkies.

You should check out the wii. It's incredibly well detailed. They pay a lot of attention to their meshes.

[Nature_Girl]

they have alot of good stuff, before this tread i never heard of their site, im amazed at the wii and the ps3!! im a detail junkie, its sad they get alot of thos a**holes there. especially when they dont realise that people actually have jobs (and lives) and dont have time to create meshes and objects.

I don't think organizing a DDoS on a free site is the right way to give it love.

[Markus]

Yeah, despite being on the Wiki they're not a well known site.
Not only does the content look great in game, but it also looks wonderful in pics too.
As mentioned in some other threads, a lot of creators are not capable of pulling that off.
Just noticed they had planned on putting out some custom stuff packs too. People have no idea how difficult that would be. It probably explains the long gaps, and at least they have a different kind of gap than Peggy. :lol:
It makes me sad when people with totally cool original ideas get fed up with the community.
Sometimes makes me wonder if the people doing the heckling are paysite owners under different names trying to scare free creators away.

Oh, fucksocks. Good point. At least my heart's in approximately the right place. :oops:

[ws-jessica]

i've posted again on there. I can't believe the two little twats that posted giving him attitude over his lack of updates. wtf? its a free site, free sites owe you nothing. ungrateful lil bastards

i <3 ogularama and i hope he reconsiders.

btw, those of you checking out his downloads for the first time: they all look great in-game. I use them all the time.

Oggie is one of my fav creators and a wonderful person. Used to be on Savage Sims and then branched out on his own.

People who leave those kind of messages should be confined for life ot downloading from places like TSR and Carla Niven  :twisted:

[SamanthaS]

Possibly my favorite piece of custom content is Ogularama's Macbook Pro. The detail is incredible.

If I could hug it I would.

[Requip]

I like all of his laptops!  

[Chinchillagrl]

I can't believe I've never seen his site before. I know I've heard the name. The objects are GREAT!
Thanks for linking it.

[Markus]

Really good point Irish Wench. That's just the thing. People like that Chris guy are probably used to going to places like TSR where Atwat and Buntah slam out ten shitty items a day as opposed to one good item every other week.
If I were him I would disable my comments feature, or at least filter them.

This from Ogularama:

Thanks for all the kind comments i've received, however i must explain my reasons. I am not leaving completely, i will be around and about, and it has nothing to do with pricks like some of those comments (who are now banned). Due to work outside of this I have very little time on my hands, hence the lack of any updates at all. When i do have time, i have been trying hard to make new things and the 60's set is doing well, also my chinese set. So I will not be gone forever, just here nor there...

Thanks again for your continued support.

Good to know it's RL and not idiots keeping him away.
