Was reading Windkeeper's blog on TSR and this is her latest update:

No free rotation for now

Posted On Dec 10, 2006 | 0 Comments

Changes again. Setting all the content except featured artists to be free is taking a tall on TSR. Subscriptions are dropping. To help promote subscription, free rotation of our creations is limited or even completely stopped by now. It's hard to say what will it be in the future. But I support this move and strongly believe that TSR subscription is well worth it! You will not find a better selection for this price at any other sims site!

I actually didn't mind subscribing to TSR before they made the recent changes, but all these new FA's they've brought onboard are crap.  I rarely see anything really interesting come up in the "coming soon" sidebar anymore, and when something does, it's invariably from Windkeeper or Cashcraft or one of the other FA's who've been there all along.

They'd probably have more subscribers if they limited their Featured Artists to people with real talent who make unique items instead of flooding their pay section with the same kind of craptastic items you can get on any Sims site.  :p

I don't see why they made the non-featured stuff all free in the first place.  While no one likes paying a subscription, TSR was one of the few we I would sub to, because of the convenience of having any of the files when we wanted without waiting.   Psychologically it was wrong to make the recent change cos I now feel I am paying $6 a month for only one or two downloads a month.  While the FA's are quite good, the couple of things I have each month I *could* make for myself.

Anyway, this new move puts TSR over the threshold into being a proper pay site under the terms of PMBD - ie they now have certain content which can *only* be obtained by paying.

Clearly TSR enrolled in a course at the Carla Niven School of Business Management.

Oh really?  I find that free is the best price... and there are certainly a lot much better stuff floating around on those sites.  I was almost offended till I realized I didn't care that much.

Even more bullshit is his claim to be running into financial problems because of those FA items being free. I know for a fact he's making very generous offers to creators around the community in order to lure them to his site, the sort that certainly don't imply a lack of money, if you get my meaning.  Cool  Besides, someone did the math once. The profit he makes off TSR is huge.

I also notice that the site as a whole hasn't mentioned this little alteration, it's thus far only there for people who care to do a little digging...I mean, out of most general, everyday users, who actually reads the FA's blogs?
