New FA at TSR

[Anouk]

At first they offer you 10 dollars per 10.000 downloads, and 300 dollars max per months when you start out as an FA.
Then, you can get bonusses for most downloaded, best creations, etc etc so there is some competition among the FA's. This is monthly if I understood it right.

Then there's people that get offered more because they make stuff that is very wanted. One person I know got offered 300 dollars to completely close down their site and become an FA.

I told an FA about this and she was very pissed off. Seems like not every FA gets all info on what's going on.

No way liegenschonheit - your work is too good for TSR - but if you want them to come calling, just put up a sob story at Digital Perversion - they'll come a knocking.

$300 to close down a site doesnt seem like any reason for another artist to get mad? Well is that all they paid 2S2. i'd laugh at em, and say no deal at $300. I liked 2s2.

FULL RANT MODE:

1. Some of those creators are grown men and women. They can easily get jobs and make more than 300 dollars. Right? I mean spend the time you use making CC to go to college or something and get a good job. Now don't get me wrong i think its nice that they make CC but I mean come on...I have a job (whine mode) and if i can get a job trust me ANYONE can. And Omg TEN dollars for 10,000 d/l? Wow these people. I mean if i was going to even give to a donation site(as in putting my creations up for sale) i'd want more than $1 for evey 1,000 d/l. Um some of these paysites out here make 2.50 - 5 dollars for one item/set. I'd either be pissed and complainin' or pissed and takin' all my s**t to my own site.

2. TSR is wrong for not informing ALL of their FA's about this business of them paying certain artists money for these things.

3. What in the hell is wrong with these people? They have proof that TSR is doing stuff behind their backs but do they quit you know maybe boy cott or what ever? No. They take it. Um Does TSR have a new kind of mind control machine?  :roll: Think they might let me borrow it?

RANT MODE: OFF

I'm Done

You can't have it, HChangeri needs it much worse than you do.

Awww Naw I'll get it. Although she'll probably put it up on a site and charge me 200 dollars for it? But i'll get it one way or another =]

[tIIsuggas]

Wonder if TSR will be offering to buy this site out?

I don't know if the name was a conscious decision or not.  Totally free at the moment.

[Quorneater]

The donations there are a little strange.  It brings up PayPal in a frame, but it looks not quite right and I stopped before entering my password.  Before donating make sure that really is Paypal who is getting  your info.

It is paypal. Just linked inside the frame.

edit: unless paypalobjects.com is not the real thing?

[liegenschonheit]

Heh, I was just being glib. I think the reason I've never been offered to be an FA at TSR is because for one my stuff really isn't mainstream enough, and two, I don't make meshes.

I already do have a sob story up on Digital Perversion, but sadly, it's true. Also, as Nouk undoubtedly knows, people in this community are very generous and willing to help out when not being coerced. In a day or so, I've received about half of what I need in donations. It's really just amazing, and I'd never even think about screwing those kind of people over for something as shitty as TSR.

Well, alot of artists figure: if I can make some money for my hobby, not having to maintain my own site, and still have a cute minisite, then why not?

Apologies for two conversations in one thread.

If you put www dot paypalobjects dot com into your address bar, it redirects to paypal.com, the official paypal site.

We can see that subscriptions for TSR have dropped. :roll: Boo hoo hoo. I hope they won't get more customers.

Yes i know what your saying(that the artist say) But they can make MORE money by getting a job or maintaining their own site. If they got a job they wouldn't have to worry about waiting to see when people decide to d/l their stuff  and give them their "paychecks" Wouldn't you find it annoying to always have to wonder everyday if someone is going to download from the site you give ur creations to so that they can give you a measly 10 dollars(or 300 dollars for the good little creators <3) so you can feed ur starvin chilluns?  :wink:  And then you have to wait for 10 THOUSAND people to download your thing

Sorry if I'm getting a little carried away with this but it just does not make sense to me.

RedLove, you're right, a grown person creating TS2 content and charging for it as their main job doesn't make sense. However, the less crazy ones create in their leisure time, and they might figure that if they're going to be creating anyway, why not make some extra cash off of it, especially if all they have to do is upload the stuff and profit.
