Aikea and Gelydh have their own site...

[Jojoba]

I was just looking at the FA's page and noticed they've both changed their profile descriptions.

Aikea's now says: "...there are other worlds than these."

Gelydh's has been changed to: "I'm gonna run the risk of being free."

If we take that on face value, then it really says it all doesn't it...

[SimARR]

lol, Aikea and Gelydh must be serious. They've moved their site to proper paid hosting. They now have a domain name lol.  I just hope more FA's (and SA's) leave TSR... I mean, look how may they've lost in the last few months. -we should make a list

[Mi-Chii]

All fingers crossed that they are actually leaving!

I don't think they have mentioned Club Crimsyn on TSR at all, my bet would be that they will upload one, two, three times more there, and then hopefully just kinda... Disappear.

[humblebumble]

Their terms on Club Crimsyn confuse me though -

+ You may absolutely recolor the meshes on this site. Your recolors may be hosted on any site you choose, but do not include the mesh with your download; please link back here for them. This helps make sure that your downloaders have the most recent version of the meshes available. Of course, if you want to include the mesh to make it easier for people to use your recolors, that's fine too.

 

Well, which is it?

[Mi-Chii]

Looks like they changed their mind, and forgot to change it properly XD

They've left - I'm jumping between this thread and the one at Simscave (yeah, I'm bored ).  They've got the announcements in their blogs.

[calalily]

Oh that is fan-fucking-tastic, presuming they're going free! HUZZAH FOR AIKEA_GUINEA AND GELYDH!!!!! 

[keirra]

Yay!  Good news!  I love it.  Thomass must be pissed.

[Anyerfillag]

So what does this mean for all their stuff in the Booty? Will we keep it incase Thoma$$ decides to wipe their entire profile(s), or will it be removed?

[Minolia]

Sounds like the Atwa booting came a bit too late in the day. Too bad Thoma$$!  

[Fainiel]

Woo! *yet more happy dancing*

[Anouk]

Congrats to Gelydh and Aikea. Too bad for Thomas, he's lost two great creator to something he could have probably solved with the flick of a wrist.

From their FAQ:

+ Does this mean you've decided to throw off the dark, abysmal shroud of charging money for your custom content (which sucks, by the way)?
Sure, why not. To avoid any confusion, our decision to keep this site free has little to do with 'morals', even less to do with popularity, a lot to do with being fundamentally lazy, and most everything to do with really not giving a flying fuck anymore. It won't go 'pay' or 'donation' or whatever. If our monthly alotted bandwidth is exceeded we'll simply lock down the downloads until the following month, which on our webhost resets on the 7th. We refuse to put ads on this site. Tongue We'll never beg for dontations, although even the smallest amount is appreciated.

I replied to this..but monkeys (or maybe Nouk) ate my post  

I am very pleased Not only have they left TSR, but theres a new note at their site saying they will remain free -

Ah this is a good day.  Aikea and Gelydh, thank you

I wonder who Thomas is going to try and get for FA to replace these two though...

eta: Lol did not see you had already shown that Anyerfillag

[Cily]

They've reworded their TOU as well, got rid of the confusion and now allow meshes to be included with recolors:

You may absolutely recolor the meshes on this site. Feel free to include our meshes with your recolors; however, to ensure that you and other downloaders have an updated mesh, we suggest that you link to our site. Either works.

So, overall - yay, I think?
