Aikea and Gelydh have their own site...

[Hecubus]

For the moment, I'll move their folders into "retired artists" even though they're not listed as retired, until the stuff is taken off pay. I've contacted them at GoS about their plans for their files; stay tuned.

ETA: I just heard from Aikea - they're not going to be able to host all their items on their new site, so I'm contacting the Sims2Graveyard Keeper about their files. Somehow, we'll make sure all of their stuff remains available.

[Elfen Lied]

This is great. I hope more TSR artists (and subscribers,) see the light as Aikea and Gelydh have.

This is better than Mother Nature getting ready to bitchslap this backwards town (and me,) with a tornado.

*sits listening to the crumbling of the TSR empire*  It's a good day to be a pirate.  All I can say is that Thomas & Steve are getting what they deserve.  Wonder what they are going to do when they have to get "real jobs"?

Congrats to Aikea & Gelydh!  I hope that if they read here (which is a high probability) that they know we will be glad to help them. 

Now, who's next?  Place your bets.

I hope everything is alright, Elfen. Get in a basement or somewhere else safe.

Yay! I am a huge fan of Gelydh. This is very good news! I love their new site, it's nicely designed with wonderful free goodies
I hope that once set free in their own domain, they regain that love for the game that spurrs them on to create great content, without the pressure of "dish out or boot out" mentality.
I am more partial to believe that sort of attitude is what makes most content in TSR borky, since it's "dish it out! NOW! we need more bait! more lure!"
blerch. Yay to Aikea and Gelydh!

What a wonderful Day!    TSR is crumbling so fast I have a feeling that they'll be completely destroyed soon and maybe all of the other paysites ill start crumbling as well...then again most paysites don't use other peoples talent to make money...but I hope that the subscribers will see how ridicuolous the whole situation is and leave too. That would be a perfect end!

Thanks Snarky. We're all ok now. *phew* No tornadoes, but the flooding.  Thankfully, it didn't reach the house. However, I seem to have a plague of little frogs every where.  Cute little buggers though. 

Back on topic though, yes, I think Aikea and Gelydhs' site is put together very well. Part of me wonders if TSR will go free, but accept voluntary donations (like MTS2 and InSim.) I think if TSR ever did that, then maybe my hatred of that site will subside...just a little.

I can't see that ever happening. TSR are a business, not a fan site. If they start haemorrhaging money the same way as they are FAs, then they'll look to other ways of ripping people off or just cut their losses and shut down. One thing you can be sure of though, is that they'll never go free.

I just wanted to say this:

Hey, Aikea or Gelydh, if you're reading here, please feel free to post and say hello. I can assure you that you'll have a very warm welcome, and lots of rum will head your way.

Yay for good news! With all of the negativity surrounding paysites, especially TSR, it's always a great week when we have people going free, dumping shitty paysites, and bitches getting fired (talking about Atwa).

Time for a happy dance! *jig*

Totally agree - we'd have nothing but good stuff to say. 

[Hecubus]

I don't know if they've found their way here yet - they still seem to be reeling from the big resignation yesterday. I've been talking to them both over at GoS, and if there was one word to describe their mood, I'd say it's 'relieved'. I'm working with them on getting their files in the right places, and actually, they asked for a bit of help:

If you have had problems with a Geyldh or Aikea mesh crashing your game, please PM me and let me know which ones. We're going to look at the original files v. the files we get from TSR v. the cleaned files in the booty, and see where any problems might be. I only need a few to test, and I probably won't PM you back, just know I say thanks, and I'll tell you all to knock it off when we have enough to test.


Oh, and I'll tell them to come join us, and to ignore any bad shit we might have said about them before, when they were part of the Evil Empire. LOL

[Microwaves Dream]

I don't actually have a mesh crashing my game, I have a mesh missing. lol

It's the mesh for ShellShock, flannel shirt for AF.
http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/gelydh/downloads/sims2/meshes/620496/

I downloaded from the Booty (thank god for you guys having the patience to remove whatever clutter and spyware TSR attempts to include) and didn't notice the missing mesh until I booted the game.

[alia]

Microwaves Dream, that mesh is in the booty. I know it is, because I have shirts in my game that use the same mesh, and they work just fine.

So, dig around, you will find it.

(Oh, and just that you know, this is not a WCIF forum, so if you want to find it, you need to search for it yourself in the booty. We're not going to do it for you.)

It's not that one, for me. I had a crash when switching from AF separates to AF outfits. The Shellshock shirts look lovely and work. Lost me three sim-days of play. I was too pissed to do binary last night. I'm sure it was my own fault.

[falln_angel]

Karminger, did you download Gelydh's Metal Postcard set? The mesh from that was crashing my game (and it's an AF full-body mesh) - filename is MESH_Gelydh_AF-FB-ShortsandBoots_REA28-022408.package .

(And yes, I have PM'd Hec about it - along with a dozen other people, I'm sure.)
