TSR: In Ur Accounts, Deletin Ur Stuffs!

[siberiansunset]

Ahhhhh! Your DOT avatar scurrred me, Sabian the II! LMao! 

LOL, true. But really your booty bag doesn't have a "shape". 

LOL 'shape,' ahh. And it doesn't have 'finals' or 'hardware' either. But let that demise be on shakeshit, since she stole made the bag. 

Eta: You are forgiven Sabian! Yes, that would have been a nice AFD touch! Although tsr beat EVERYONE yesterday! tsr for the AFD win!

Pro-free doesn't mean you're part of the destroy paysite cause, it just means you think all CC should be free.

Exactly. And what TSR doesn't realize is that you can be pro-free and not be a pirate. I've not arr'd any games, music, yada yada. It's just not for me. But just because I'm not interested in that doesn't mean that I'm pro-paysite. The EULA says no profiting from content, and even if it didn't I'd not support a paysite simply because I think it's stupid to pay a 3rd party for pixels that I can't touch and might not be able to trust. I'd say there are a lot of us out there who would rather have it free and honest, unlike some of the ARRing FAs I've heard who are pretending to have bought their games.

The gall of TSR will never cease to amaze me. People like that are the reason I keep all my creations to myself. Well, that and I don't make anything very good. :-P

This thread has been a trip to read. Just when you think people can't sink any lower TSR rears its ugly head.

[Darqstar]

Techincally, I don't even know if I could call myself a pirate.  Yes, I come here.  I'm sure TSR thinks I'm a pirate.  But, I've never shared any paid content.  Well, I did share one thing, but that was with someone who had bought it before from TSR, then their account expired, her computer fried, and she lost all her pay items.  I didn't feel bad giving her one measly item that she had already paid for once. I don't call that sharing, I call that restoring.  But other than that?  Nope.  Damn my stupid promise to them that I wouldn't share any of their pay items with anyone! 

I also haven't donated money to this site, thanks to being freakin' broke.  (but, good news, the doctor says I can go back to work on the 18th, unless something happens and I re-injure myself) 

Which brings me to a question... do we have any ways of donating money? Is there a general paypal account somewhere? Because I don't see a donation button on the site.

For TSR, it's like they're playing a game of Limbo with morality and legality. Someone pulls something low/stupid and the rest watch from the sidelines, chanting, "How low can ya go? How low can ya go?"

Exactly- while I do download here and other fsf sites  it is generally stuff from sites that have long gone extinct due to the greed of people like Thoma$$, Peggy, et al - or for stuff that is hard to find because creators have lost their files in leaving a site etc.  I mostly like Maxis match furniture which means I mostly go to SironaSims2, Piggis Sims2, Simcastic, and Mod the Sims for my Sim House Decorating Needs- why should I buy it from you ? Especially since half your Maxis Match creators x-post at Mod the Sims and other free sites.

Even if you have the contents of the entire booty in your download folder, you're still not a pirate. It's all copyrighted by EA after it's stuffed in the .package format.

[CatOfWar]

Maybe they are trying to get top spot in google. 

Ha ha ha!  T$R google fail!

That is fabulouS!

This is what I found on the TSR front page news :

Posted by TSR Admin on Apr 1, 2009• TSR: Accusations, Lies, Bullying?



Myth: TSR place trojans in their downloads to gain information
The Story: In the early days of the Pirates and pay content file sharing, we put watermarks on the files at the point of downloading. This simply applied the TSR user ID, IP and time/date to the .package file of the downloader, so that we could take the files from the booty and see which user shared it. This was done server side, our end. It gathered no information about the user once they downloaded that file. This hardly constitutes a Trojan or virus.

The Fact: TSR, as a professional business, has no desire to add malware to its downloads and takes no part in such activities. The Pirates didn't like that we were on to them so cooked up this story because at the time they didn't know how we were catching them. They hated it even more when they found we used their own shared files against them! Of course they now know, but wont retract their claim because it adds too much value to their smear campaign.

Wouldn't this mean that TSR is still catching file sharers even from the booty even thou it's being cleaned?

[Paden]

In their own deranged minds, maybe. TSR is the breeding ground and home of paranoid fools and the more they blither on about this shit, the more they are providing evidence that they are indeed, [CENSORED].

[Pescado]

Just look at the date that was posted. It is CLEARLY meant to be a joke.

[dstar]

I would say they are  not succeeding-at gaining the top spot in Google, but they certainly are suckceeding at getting the top spot in Giggle (For all your search and destroy needs) Did not Thoma$$ pay attention to what day it was to make his little statement- Here Iwill make a statement on April Fools Day and see how many people believe me instead of laughing my at my  over- enlarged from eating freesites for lunch posterior- cause I am an idiot.


I'm tired of the excuses - Thomass- I don't know how old you are chronologically but, grow up, go back to college and take a class in Customer Service 101 (I want my account deleted, my moneys back  and all my stuff removed dude- number one rule of customer service - The Customer {thats me since I paid good money for my sub} is Always {and that means always even when they are wrong in your personal perspective that has no place in a profit making business} Right) - He and TSR have lost all their credibility with the financially responsible Sims Gamer .

[ShadySentinel]

Also, I think it'd be hilarious if a bunch of pirates entered and won.

You have more chance of Pigs flying.

Oh, I know. And I wasn't saying "Hey guys, let's do this!". I just think it'd be amusing if Thoma$$ had to hand over those prizes to pirates.

[SoggyFox]

If its like any other tsr contest, its rigged.
