New Paysite: Architecture Sims

[apple_snap]

Yeah, I get the impression Nightmare was trying to jump on the bandwagon of going after new threads by using the FAQ as a means to put someone in his/her place - nevermind the recent discussions about being gentler about the FAQ, and only using that as a shootdown after it is a gross misuse of starting a new thread.  I have really appreciated the discussion in this thread, as opposed to general attacks on a new poster/new topic.     Plus, I do find it interesting to note that new paysites are popping up this late in the game.  I wonder if economic downturns are going to feed into this trend.

I agree!

So you are gonna open a new thread every new paysite? fine. I´m looking forward to Sims 3 ´s launch if it can be modded 

Dusdeedawn, I´m representative of 2 lawsuits, aside of being the techie assistant. I run 2 forums and I help greatly in another 2. Aside from that I have my own www.cae.net branch.

What are you representative of, sucker?

[dusdeedawn]

I meant representative of all of us here. Single me out all you want, you're still a stupid git.

Neither want, neither cares. Be more explicit next time. I´m happy of not being representative of you.

Byez, enough with those 5 minutes of my time.

Look Nightmare seriously, we get it that you're doing your bit to fight the evil empire that is EA, this doesn't mean you get special priviledges here or get to barge in after a lenghty absence and set the rules. We are self moderated and do not appreciate people acting like they're special snowflakes who know the ins and outs.

Again I respect you for your fight against EA but attacking random forum members like dusdeedawn and nixy for no apparent reason does not compute. Everyone of us here contributes in their own way, please do not belittle people.

I can agree with that.

If there´s no current general thread for pointing new paysites, there should be one. This new opening of threads every new paysite seems like shameless subtle payshit advertising in my book.

That said I get the point it isn´t the point of view ot the majority. So I´ll move along now.

[ooglafina]

Well, even if you did think that new threads were advertising paysites doesn't mean that your opinion alone is required to shut down a thread. You may be the moderator of other forums, but that doesn't give you any special priviledges anywhere else.

And as for advertising paysites. That sounds dumb to me. The point in listing it isn't so that we can all go over there and download the guy's crap. It's so that people can be aware of how the paysite demographic is changing. Growing or shrinking. They report when people go free, so why shouldn't they report when people go pay.

And besides, how many of us are going to go over to a new paysites and go gaga over all the stuff? All most of us will do it go look, see the crap, then talk about how bad and/or stupid the site it.

[SoggyFox]

I only went to see if anything of mine had ended up there, when someone mentioned other people's meshes - false alarm, but I do like to make sure someone isn't selling my stuff.  And some of my stuff is architectural in nature.

Which is why I suggested that there be one in my initial post. If you'd actually read the few sentences I posted, I have a hard time seeing how you'd come up with it being paysite pimpage. I don't want to see a new thread for each new paysite, either. However, if you were to check back through the forum, you'd see that I posted in keeping with previous, non-contentious announcements of new paycrap vendors. Regardless of what valiant efforts you're making elsewhere, you have no authority here, the FAQ has no bearing on my post, and your peculiar insistence on arguing the superior value of your misinterpretation of my intent has nothing to do with fighting paysites and everything to do with your ego.

BTW, just because I don't post here much, you shouldn't assume that I'm clueless or a noob. I've been a member longer than the vast majority of people who hang out here, you have no idea of my history/involvement behind the scenes, and I am probably not the only person who is interested in destroying paysites who is not compelled to be social about it.

[Tabby]

 That's just what he does, Nixy. I'm sure you have seen our issues with him before. He thinks because he does good elsewhere we should all kiss his ass and do what he wants. You didn't do anything wrong, and I personally want to thank you for bringing this to our attention. 

[scrappysim]

And yes, this is usually how announcement of this sort are done.  Anyone who thinks that saying "hey, look there is a new paysite that we may need to do something about" on a site about destroying paysites and getting rid of the awful paysite system and mentality, is advertising for that site is ridiculous.  How could the mention of a new paysite here be in anyway promoting it.  Trust me, I doubt the paysites see being mentioned here as free advertising.

[neriana]

Nightmare, being a big deal (or thinking that you are) in some parts of the internet doesn't make you some kind of great big man who can come in here and lord it over all us little girls. You don't know what any of us have done, sucker. I hope you're gone for real this time, because you're an ass.

[nixy]

I have seen Nightmare's assiness before, though it took a bit before I could recall exactly which ass he was (oh yeah, that guy - the Self-Aggrandizing Martyr for the Glorious Cause). If I'd connected the screenname with his history here, I probably would have just ignored his stupid FAQ link.

In any case, if it's seen as useful to have a list of paysites, I am not a good choice to maintain it long-term (flakiness, etc.), but I would definitely be willing to contribute to the building of the list.
