Poor Atwat....

[kenmtl]

Featured Artists supposedly make no more than $300 per month. *goes back to lurking*

No! All gelydhs must post MOAR! - 

Yes, because all  A_G & G's rock!

[KatrinaHighKick]

Wow, talk about a informative thread, I had absolutely no idea all this was going down in TSR's so-called "community". Maybe because I only visit it to see what to download from the booty... 

One n00b question though what is the TC fiasco? I saw mentions of it here and there (yes, I searched for it but I guess I phail at searching), but I'd like to know what went down and how atwat was involved in it?

[DaBuschckah]

I think the 'TC Fiasco' started in December 2007. I could be wrong.

..Oh yeah, and long-time lurker registered and posting

[Hecubus]

I don't recall the story itself - but to start us off, "TC" stands for Texture Challenge. You'll notice at TSR that many people will do recolors in the same texture(s), Atwat among them. Now, can someone else pick up the story?

[Requip]

I have been talking to someone from TSR who tells me they have quite a few PM's and mails from Atwa also containing racist remarks, and general bitchery towards other TSR artists. They are seriously considering releasing them.

Oh, YES...please.

I second that! That would be awesome!

Wasn't the Texture Challenge (TC) explained in this thread? Or was it in the TSR thread? Sorry, I'm too busy to search for it.
Atwat threw a hissy fit, or something?

Anyways, it was explained short time ago in here somewhere... I think.

I just reread this thread, and did a search...Its been mentioned, but never explained.
*Ahem* "The 'TC Fiasco', as seen by DaBusch"
(I could be wrong in places, as I was never a big player in the TC...I came and went. ) You all know of the TC thread over at TSR, right? Its full of Mods now, but last year there was little to no mod interference--odd, since we were constantly off-topic Atwat was a constant contributor, unofficially thought of as the 'leader' of the thread (mostly pushed on by her, always telling others what to do ). NOTE: most of the TC artists got better over time--not counting atwat. I doubt she ever tried. ANYWAY, in December of last year, the Mods abruptly closed the thread, and pissed a lot of people off. They tried to hide the argument between the TCers and the mods, and deleted the threads where we badmouthed them. I think it was during all this that Daggs(<3) called Thomas a nazi. The mods decided to open the thread again with some new rules and 'new artists'(at first all mods ) in the new year, and after around a month or two the 'originals' left and most went to Natural Sims (there's another site too, but I don't remember what it's called).

Yup. I'm missing a lot though. This is my story of what happened, the actual SA's involved have a lot more to say on the subject. Man, T$R sucks.

EDITED: Because I just royally suck at using this 'interweb' thing

[DaBuschckah]

Thanks Squooshy I got sick of Atwat's antics around TC 50 too.

We also used the Yahoo group to continue our game. Which we still play, only now its by OUR rules. Which are incredibly flexible.

Atwat's view of the whole thing was hilarious. Her pitiful rants are still around somewhere.

I'm gonna be a bigger pain and ask what Riverwillows did?

I was on the sidelines for a little bit (bethbrit) but gave up as I knew something bad was gonna happen.

Any chance of digging them up and posting them here? 

[DaBuschckah]

Offhand, I remember that there were about a dozen posts from Atwat saying the same thing. Something along the lines of:

"Well...the mods don't like me...they never had...they're all against me and they hate the close relationship I share with Thomas...they're just jealous..."

Or something. What is it with her and her excessive 'dot dot dot -ing' , anyway?

[Dina D]

I am that person Squooshy is referring to about the PM's because she was dragging Natural Sims into the whole mix...The TC fiasco and Riverwillows fiasco aren't even the same fiasco...The yahoo group was created for the TC'ers as Squooshy can attest to...but one didn't have anything to do with the other.  Natural Sims provided a home for the TC'ers who were part of that yahoo group that wanted to have another outlet for their creativity besides TSR.   What I had a problem with, is Squooshy was lumping ALL the people at Natural Sims into one group...one that loved and kissed Atwat's ass...which was far from the truth (God knows I don't like that Twat!!)...a truth that I was merely pointing out....Also, the TC fiasco is not what brought Atwat down...but as we all know it was all a rouse anyway...

[Dr House]

Also, I called Thomas a Nazi in April.  Again, that was the best feeling I'd had in a looong time.

Indeed great joy! FTW!

[Titan]

April the 10th or 11th, it was around the time of the infamous TSR FA/SA survey they had.  Boy, Daggs you sure had alot to say to Thomass in that survey.

  Atwa has a new mission - To clean up TSR, but not for the right reasons. She's taking the smut links from here and has taken it upon herself to take credit for finding them, trying to prove how much TSR needs her, in the bargain she is now spreading it about how little TSR needs kath, blaming kath for the whole TSR smut affair, saying that Kath should no longer approve submissions as she does not pay attention to the PG 13 ruling at all, Atwa is telling everyone she has suggested to Thomas he should let kath go and she will be willing to help him out with submissions. she said kath would be better suited handling submissions to an adult site.  She is also taking the chance to dig the knife into other FA's who she says are producing porn and are bad for the site.
