Well, I searched and did not find anything under either "architecture" and "architecture sims." Very few hits, and none of them pertaining to this particular site.
I think you did just fine. As I said, I believe we talked about it before, but I couldn't link you to where it was, so I'm not going to fault you for starting a new thread. And, as I said, it was at least a thread that pertained to this site and our ways, not just someone coming on to babble about how awesome we are and what an awesome snowflake they are.
Also, I'd appreciate some edification as to the reason for the FAQ link. I've read the FAQ before, and I read it again, and there is nothing in there about lists of paysites or why they such lists are or are not appropriate for the phorum. The only thing that seems remotely related is the booty shopping list...but I don't want this shit. When I run across paycrap online (usually on non-US forums), I download it whether I want it or not because 1) it's paycrap and 2) someone else might want it, and I can provide it to the booty and/or SimsCave. If someone actually wants this set, they certainly should post it on the shopping list, but that person is not me.
Since a list of paysites doesn't exist, it's likely that no one but me would find it useful and/or no one wants to maintain it. Fine. It was a suggestion, nothing more.
Again, me personally (and most of the other folks who've weighed in) felt you did fine. One person raised a fuss. Don't worry about it.
This seems to me like direct advertising Ubisoft games on EA front page. My 2c.
Nightmare? I'm not going to go through some big pile of garbage as was gone through the last time you decided to play moderator, I'm not going to be told how special you are, and therefore we have no right to insult you, but I will say that I think you're pushing yourself again. This site IS called PAYSITES must be destroyed. Sometimes we have to actually say what those paysites are. We link to paysites all the time. The OP didn't say, "Lookie this awesum paysite!" he/she brought it to our attention.
And nothing in the FAQ forbids or even indicates that making a new thread to tell us about a Paysite is wrong, or should not be done.
