Aikea and Gelydh have their own site...

[FilthyPriest]

I haven't downloaded any of your stuff  yet, but I'll go lookin.

[Millie]

It's Da biz, FP 

Only way I can think to combat this? Advertise yourself, wherever you can. Youtube, or something like that, might be an idea. Stick two fingers up to Toma$$

[FilthyPriest]

I just came back from there and WOW. Thats the shisnic.

[keirra]

TSR sucks so bad. You both make amazing stuff.  They were probably getting messages asking where your stuff was. That shitty site never fails to amaze me. I am so glad you both got away from there.

[kenmtl]

Ya that totally sucks. I understand your anger and it's valid, but that's what t$r does. Honestly they're not worth the expense of energy it takes to be pissed off, and if you let them make you angry then they win. Fuck 'em. It was period in your life and now it's better over.

Anyone who's looking for your creations will find you, that's not even a question. I realize it's probably not a concern for you and Gelydh but even quick google on your name delivers Club Crimyn #3 after 2 tsr entries. You have a great new site, you have friends at GOS, you have friends here, you guys would have friends no matter where you went. Don't let t$r drag you down, we're here to drag them down. They're a paysite, they will be be destroyed!

Besides were the forum over there to start getting a lot of questions about where to find your creations, I'm sure there would be a host of responses directing them to Club Crimsyn. Aren't I right guys?

On the bright side, now that you own your souls there's nothing stopping you from creating a whole line of "Thoma$$ is a Butt Pirate" tee shirts. I would gladly add them to my already everything you guys make quite large AG&G  folder.

It's kinda to be expected - they can't possibly have any hint your aren't the money makers for them and they should go to another site. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. 

It's not as if their retrospective changes meant that thousands of people didn't see your exit and original note - you've been in the bookmarks of a lot of people for a while. 

On the bright side, now that you own your souls there's nothing stopping you from creating a whole line of "Thoma$$ is a Butt Pirate" tee shirts.

Totally.

[dietofworms]

That's the kind of thing that would piss me off beyond measure, too.  TSR will do ANYTHING for a profit.  I'd be glad to advertise your site in my sig on the various forums I go to--maybe if a few of us do that, we can cover the most frequented sites?

Grr, now I'm mad. 

[sherrie]

TSR have their own 'truth' which seldom matches the truth the rest of the world sees.

I put a mention about this and Aikea and Gelydh new site in the news section of my site this morning. (complete with screens!)  I fully agree with dietofworms, a few of us should put these screens up!

[Millie]

Sherrie, that TSR link in your sig is pure WIN 

[Anouk]

Everyone with a free site, let's advertise Club Crimsyn untill it comes out of people's noses. And let them know why.Noukiesims2 update
If you turn your site into a paysite after this, I'll visit you with my special friend Choppy the Chainsaw.

[Apsalar]

Finally got to this thread when catching up after my 'return'. Yarr!

Aikea, I just want to say that I adore your stuff, and that I am very proud of you both for doing what you did.  Good job with your site and congrats!


Rum & cookies!

[aikea_guinea]

Again and as always, thanks for the support everyone.  I think what bothers me most about it is how long they waited before moving us to that list, as if we wouldn't notice.  While my message was a bit growly (well, for me, at any rate), I didn't think Gelydh's was in the least; certainly not anything to ban a user over.   

kenmtl, don't worry; I'm not wasting as much energy being angry as it may seem.  Mostly I'm amused as hell, mixed with a bit of 'slimy bastards!'  After all, none of this is surprising in the least.  Furthermore, it's not the advertising of our site that concerns me, it the whole 'distortion of reality' thing. 

Nouk, we'll never ever become a paysite, but can you bring Choppy the Chainsaw over to play anyway?

*is very late with the fangirling*

It sucks that they're putting you guys through this aikea. 

[ValancySterling]

***huge fangirl moment***

Ok, now that I got that over with--wasn't there another artist who ran into a similar problem with TSR?  If I'm remembering right, they went to EA who forced them to remove it.  I don't know if EA would still back an artist up like that, but I think you and Gelydh would be totally justified in trying it.

[calalily]

Sherrie did that.  She took her complaint to EA, who forced TSR to take down her content.
