Ea makes statement March 2 making paysites ok?

[Jojoba]

Ah thank you for the screenshot Devilfish. Beos has always been one to strive for controversy, and not doubt that is exactly what he is doing now. If you read the thread on this at SimsCave, Beos apparently did some pirating himself and is a complete hypocrit. His words completely speak for him on the blog..how he can wish that upon someone else because of a pixel game, when he himself is dieing, I do not understand. Am sure he expected an outburst here but not at GSC2, so either he will say they are all pirate lovers or may realise he over stepped the mark.

As for Numenor, would like to see some sort of evidence that that was actually him. Just to completely know for sure.

Well, if you do, then that gets you rated high for style points, you know? *gets out clipboard*

Just to clarify, this site would be a statement, not my chance to finally make money peddling smut on the internet (if that was the goal, I'd have joined TSR ages ago). Nothing would be sold and no actual money would be transferred. The way you can buy a subscription to MATY.

Sims porn... yeah, I'm not a fan. Making statements and causing mischief? So me.

I could help some. My talents are limited to applying textures to stuff and writing, though, and I don't have a lot of time. My modding capabilities aren't up to porn level. Still, sounds fun .

[Devilfish]

One problem could be that I'd need to use free stuff (definetely hacks, outfits etc), probably from sexysims and ISA. I wouldn't be selling anything, obviously, but I'd hate for a free creator to get butthurt over it as well. That's not the idea.

I'll see if I can get a free site somewhere (can't exactly drop money on that kind of project, boyfriend would flip like a ninja )

Hey guys, I was going to come over here and start a thread on Yakov, but I'll just post here instead. I want you all to know that you have my support. Always. I have known Beos for 5 years, so banning him was not easy. But he insulted A LOT of people with his hurtful words, and I will not tolerate it. I have always been anti drama, and the GSC has managed to avoid it for the most part. But I can't sit around and keep silent on this. Yakov pissed me off. And hurt some very good friends with his ignorant words. I decided not to remove his stuff from the GSC. There are a lot of exclusive items over there, and removing them will just be punishing other people. He may not like it, but I really dont give a flying rat's ass. He has no say so in the matter. Besides, the GSC members have spoken.

[Devilfish]

Scotty, that can't have been easy for you, especially when you want to stay out of drama (we're sort of big on drama here). It takes a big man to do what you did, so thanks.

[chemistrycourtney]

We appreciate the support, and glad you came by to voice yourself directly.

*hands over some rum*

Nothing wrong with being anti-drama, and definitely nothing wrong with standing up for what you believe in.

And I agree with being disappointed and having a hard time believing its actually Numenor who said that stuff, when he's always been so nice to me and helped me with my stairs so that sims can pass under them and the like, as well as letting me use his recolourable ones as a repository for my own.  But even nice people can have truly asshole moments.  Everyone has a bad day, and everyone can be a jerk even if they are -normally- friendly, nice folk.

And sometimes, people can seem nice, and turn out to be petulant brats.

Hmmm... would you have to use all free creators' stuff? I mean, TSR alone would supply plenty of content, and since you wouldn't really be charging...

I just thought of this when I saw the Paris Hilton jail porn outfit at a paysite, and there may be good reasons against it that haven't occurred to me.

Scotty: Very cool

Thank you Scotty for what you said in your post on GSC and here. I have to admit those words about people getting cancer or any terminal illness really hurt. Not just me personally, but for others whom I know who suffer with all kinds of illnesses.

I know it is hard to defend a friend when they do something that is over the line. I myself have had to do that recently too in another online community. But again I thank you.

[SnarkyShark]

Good call posting in this thread, Scotty. -   Beos simply doesn't merit a discussion thread here. It's not like he's Carla Niven or something. And thanks again for taking a stand. I imagine that for any simmer who happened upon his site and who may have been dealing with cancer, or another life threatening disease, that could only have hurt as much as it sucked.

[siberiansunset]

I give you much respect and applause Scotty. There was no need for that disgusting statement and I am glad to see you take a stand against his sad conduct. (I know it was difficult on your part.)

Thank you very much.

[Paden]

I can only echo what the others have said, Scotty, and give you my thanks.

[jssimone]

I, too, thank you Scotty.

I'm really offended by the cancer statement. My M-I-L is currently living with us and suffering from Colon Cancer. She's terminal. I'll spare all the horrible details, but will say that the poor woman has been unable to take care of herself in any real capacity since the middle of her 3rd round of chemo. It's heartbreaking. I can guarantee to any dumbfuck that thinks that wishing something like that on anyone else, especially over pixles, is going to end up paying karma back in big ways. 

On a happier note, I'm quite the pervy perv and would be more than willing to share my pervy perv sims movies for the butthurt site 

[vexed]

Thank you Scotty.  BBB's behaviour was pathetic and I applaud your actions.

I've also put up a link to the petition in my blog.  Seeing as I usually get a spike in views when some paysite scandal hits, we should get a few more signatures.
