TSR IS A SUCK-ASS SUCKY WEBSITE

[sherrie]

yes its true, SA's are given the position without being asked, in all fairness, I have to admit I WAS ASKED, before xmas, twice, but both times I refused, so after xmas they made me SA anyway.  :roll:

There are a few rules that ATWA was unaware of :

namely

Of course you can submit your creations elsewhere, or on your own site if you have one, but you should not use TSR as a place to promote other sites and link to them from here.

to which her reply to me at the time was:

2007-02-07

Like I said it's up to you sherrie, I've spoken to Thomas and he will remove SA status if you go to wicked sims or have anything to do with them... and after what PMBD did to me I dont know why you would want anything to do with them ...are they worth losing your SA status for?

2007-02-07 He wont remove the minisite.. but the SA status and he just asked if you had gone there as he had seen they were talking about Frances, he asked about a lot of people... but when I went to him, I didn´t know if I could/dared to bring up the pirates, he did it himself..

she even lied about that, my minisite was removed along with my SA status simply because I set up my own website kindly hosted by wicked sims. (she maintained that as blue soup once made a donation to wicked sims that made them part of PMBD)

on that rule they should add : subject to atwa's approval.

Sherrie, she still is a pirate and helped them go free, and the name is there.
That´s in my eyes, association.. I´m sorry, but this is my opinion as it´s her, if it had been someone else and they hadn´t done the crap in the pirate phorum, I wouldn´t care, but now they have and I wouldn´t go there..
As I said, it´s up to you..

[Granuaile]

Nothing like a little pressure to make you stay at TSR...  :?

[Hecubus]

 (she maintained that as blue soup once made a donation to wicked sims that made them part of PMBD)

Hmmm. I once made a donation to TSR, and I'm now a PMBD pirate. By this logic, TSR is part of PMBD!

Muahahahahaha!


Regarding the "is it worth losing SA status for" comment...YES!!! It's not like it was your job, for fuck's sake. Sheesh.

Ren: You're from RenSim, aren't you?  I've read that story on your site.

[Ren]

Ya, I'm the rensim Ren.. and I did briefly bitch about it in the file's description didn't I.  About the texture theft part anyway, not the fact I couldn't get it removed from TSR.

Okay so let me make sure I have this right... TSR is banning/closing accounts of people associated with this forum?  But they don't *actually* close down "minisites", only the creator's access to their account.  And if they don't go so far as to ban the account, they've threatened to do so?

For meerly partaking in discussion on a forum?  That's just crazy.  I feel really bad for those of you who have a large amounts of creations there and have been subjected to that kind of treatment.

[Quorneater]

Heh I don't even believe in unauthorised filesharing, but I still enjoy chatting on these forums.   I love drama and gossip and it's one of the few forums where you're allowed to carry on a complete and unrestricted wallow in such.

nearly right, Atwa tells people that TSR will delete an SA account but not the minisite, However they do delete the minisite.  

I wasn't thrown out for taking part in a forum discussion,merely for opening my own site, who's owner recieved a donation from someone who took part in a forum dicussion!


its also worth mentioning that people who have paid subs have also had their account deleted with NO REFUND, because Thomass SUSPECTED they have been on here or SFV. in fact I read it somewhere in the tossers TOS that they will delete a paid account with no notice if they SUSPECT you are involved in file sharing.

interesting word 'SUSPECT'- Thats basically saying that TSR has the right to hold a trial, be the judge and the jury and hand out a penilty fine.
just another instantace of the short little gnome thinking he's above the law.

[MizzKitty]

Now, now. No offense to short little gnomes... Ahh, wait, the stealing is driving me nuts - carry on.

P.S. Boy, am I glad I never donated to them. And to think, I did consider it at one point because it was such a large place and had so many many things... Yes, I do know that doesn't mean quality, but I didn't know better. I'm just glad that I'm poor.

Sorry I only mean to offend short little money grabbing gnomes with bad highlights and lip liner!

On the subject of quality over quantity, TSR do very little to encourage that, when people get banned for posting anything but 'wow your creations are great' or OMG OMG OMG I LOVE your stuff!!! Hugs, kisses rah rah'

 if you post any of the above on any creation you are awarded kudos which you can cash in for free days, mini sites, prize draws and so on, but if your post is truthful like 'atwa is your colour palette broken?' or 'atwa, are your creations so poor you have to post pictures of wild plants on your mini site, its a plant get over it we have all seen one' you would then be banned.

result is a few hundered atwa-esqe morons believing their creations are ooober great because they recieved a few copy and pasted niceities off the kudo hunters. they then go on to churn out several items of shit per day in the strong belief that if atwa can become FA anyone can.

They seem to be a bit of a try hard to me, even made their own ad just like Bruno.

Angers me a lot to see that, I really don't understand TSR because they alow this kind of stuff...then again as Simslice said to me ! "It's the "key" differences that make it "not a copy"." lol

Oh that's just disgusting. And it sucks that it's not even worth commenting 'cause the comment would be deleted (and I would be banned) before anyone even read it.

[Ren]

We live in a world where everything has been done already, including lip plumping alphas... so I wouldn't bank too much on it being a thievery thing.

Yeah, that is true. Nothing new under the sun and all that. But the timing is just...awkward.

[MizzKitty]

Hm. It's annoying. All this wannabeism is discouraging the talent. I know Bruno's work, love it and use it extensively, but if I didn't then I might actually think that this... person... had potential and that disturbs and angers me most of all.

Alas, it is an impotent anger and according to pmbd-philosophy that then just makes it a whine.  :-/
