plus wading through the pics and files in different sections and finding the file match for the pic.

Which are rarely named properly vs the files.

The odd thing is, I'd put yahoo and similar groups as worse than having your stuff on a compilation site- same problems, but with added aggravation.
They don't even work well as (ye olde) mailing lists, not that most of them even try.

Perhaps they enjoy the "hi JOHN DOE I got your email and I'd like to talk to you about ENLARGING THINGS!" messages?

LMAO. That is so true. Another thing that is so annoying about these yahoo groups is that when registering they require you to leave a comment to the owner of the group. I mean what am I supposed to say? Hi, I'd like to sign up because I think I want one of your objects?

Nouk, things will get fun again when HChangeri comes up with something new. She should throw fits more often, would keep us amused.

However, I'm opening a freesite not on MTS2. I don't fancy the idea of being another one on there--I don't know why, I just want my own site is about right, with me and a few friends.

There's nothing wrong with wanting your own site.
Putting your content up on one of the compilation sites (MTS, TSR, Insim) gets you more exposure, but you're faceless unless you update prolifically.
There's also a lot to be said for controlling the look of the site yourself, and the ability to freely post content that those sites must block to stay good with paypal.

That's another thing. Why don't they get a permanent file hosting site and a forum?? Because it looks ugly? Who cares?

They do.
And to be fair, you get a lot less visitors when people have to jump through hoops for your content. Juniper Sun and the yahoo groups are good examples- no matter how nice their stuff is, most people aren't going to bother wading through.

But the line of thinking is that because they want their own site, they're entitled to have one, and have their visitors foot the bill...which wraps into the same old "I should be paid because I worked so hard!" line.

Reply #1:
Yeah, I guess that's the essence of why I want my own site--plus my site isn't going to exactly be the best thing in the world and it's going to allow some pretty weird things on it.  :lol: I don't think I'd be allowed to post any of this on MTS2. ^^ I'd get banned.  :oops:

Reply #2:
I hate yahoo!groups. They piss me off. I've only ever signed up for like 4 and I never go on them.

Reply #3:
Yeah, I think that's likely to be what they think. And they shouldn't. It's called selflessness. They should learn it.

*foams at the mouth* @ Pescado

She'll come back eventually once she sees TSR getting all the attention at S2C

[Soup Parrot]

LOL probaby..Speaking of TSR what happened to AS Creations cant find them there anywhere suddenly?

[Anouk]

Dunno. But should we care? Do you mean Select Artists? If THAT's pay too, then it is getting overly obvious. Do they wanna scare unnknowing people away as well?  :shock:

[Soup Parrot]

Ichangheri released her new pay set  for $3 Babyland.
retailsims.com :twisted:

[bethgael]

Her name's Heather is it?  Hmm there is some little bell ringing at the back of my mind about that name...   Or am I mixing it up with Hazel?   Some female name beginning with H seems to be behind some fake deaths etc.

Always pisses me off when someone named Heather goes off on a loony rant and adds to the name's stereotype (a la the movie "Heathers").

Erhm. Yeah. My name is Heather.  :oops:

[Soup Parrot]

Heather, I think there are very few of your namesake like Ichangeri so, you shouldnt get a bad rap.

[Captain Feathersword]

I used to work with a Heather. She didn't have a great time of it as she wasn't young, thin or beautiful, but in her mid to late 30s and still living with her parents. It really annoyed me as she was one of the few people who actually did her job properly and it affected my job when people didn't.
That's one Heather who actually has integrity.

Ive been lurking for a bit & finally decided to sign up & make my 1st post. Keep up the great work you all are doing for the community. Its about time someone shoved it right back into the faces of all those money grubbing pay site creators! :twisted:

Speaking of Heathers, Did you all know Heather the owner of Sim Freaks has SF listed as a business with the State of California Better Business Bureau?

http://search.bbb.org/

Just type in Sim Freaks & then click on the business name & you will be taken to a page listing everything about Sim Freaks.

The thing that got me was @ the very bottom of the page after all the business info:

Competency Licensing This company is in an industry that may require licensing, bonding or registration in order to lawfully do business. The Bureau encourages you to check with the appropriate agency to be certain any requirements are currently being met.

So does this mean Sim Freaks has a special license through EA to sell stuff? Makes me go Hmmmmmmmmm.....

Mall of the Sims is also listed at the BBB with a bad score. I wonder how many more sites are listed with the BBB?

[Soup Parrot]

Notice she has three employees, and they sell sim software add ons?
And whats the PMB in the address...She has 3 employeees!!! Excuse me if they were struggling she couldnt afford 3 employess, you know.

Im searching through this. This is MALL OF THE SIMS
http://www.dallas.bbb.org/commonreport.html?bid=90003180
look their record----BAAD!
I will update as I locate more.

[Witchboy]

And whats the PMB in the address

It could be Postal Mail Box. I googled the address with Google Earth & the building that the address is listed to looks nothing like a post office. It looks like a strip mall with several businesses in it. Its most likely a suite number.

[lordrichter]

PMB is "Private Mail Box".

She gave the address of a mail drop business, like Mailboxes Etc or something like that.

Edit: Yeah, Mailboxes Etc was picked up by UPS and they have an outlet there.

The Ups Store
1072 S De Anza Blvd
San Jose, CA 95129-3500
