More on MTS2 banning links or mentioning PMBD in sigs

And perfection is quite subjective.

Psh, I like gossip. I don't mind if it's true or not. :lol: I kinda laugh when I read about TSR. Or the Donna drama. Or anything LyricLee-related.

There's no perfection, only awesomeness. Try to be more awesome, and someday you could be almost half as awesome as me!

Ah Eve. I miss her. Those were the good ol' days.

Delphy has always been a slimy, smarmy two faced fuck who will turn on you in a minute if it suits him. Anyone who thinks there is anything remotely honorable about him is sorely mistaken. And anyone who trusts him always gets burned sooner or later.

So he is exactly like most other men then?  Got it!

I enjoy gossip too

Now apparently InSim is also censored:

Type in the web addy at S2C and all you get is a bunch of astericks

OMG!! Soon everyone is going to have to talk in some kind of weird code because every second word is going to be censored...  S2C is getting way to involved in censorship for my liking.

guess they're on to the whole "link to the post at insim.net with the link to PMBD instead of PMBD itself" thing

[coliss]

Lol, the link of PMBD on a certain thread in InSim was... quite big. :lol:

Hmm you can't really blame Delphy for reacting like that, one of MTS2's biggest policies is the rights of a content creator to their creations(Which this site openly defies).  Regardless of the goal, you can't expect MTS2 to support the means of which this site runs.

I'm not saying that I don't agree with the mission statement of PSMBD, I really like the idea of purging the overwhelming amount of greed swelling within the community.  It really needs to be done, and I don't think there is any more effective way to do it.  I would be glad to see them all "take their toys and go home" however it would be nice if a few of them had the dignity to just keep creating for free because they enjoy it(if they ever enjoyed it).

EA games on the other hand seems to accept paysites on the same grounds that they accept free ones.  They both just provide more content to keep people playing their game(buying their expansions, etc.) but obviously the destruction of paysites wouldn't put a tear to their eyes and actually be mildly beneficial to them.  Most of their customers are too young(12) to be subscribing to all those paysites anyway.

If you want to advertise I'd suggest the BBS.  They have no reasons to oppose sharing CC free or pay(that is why they have the Exchange after all) and its full of people(err.. animals?).  Stirring up trouble at MTS2 isn't achieving anything except infamy.

The Suck level at MTS2 is downright critical these days.  I remember back in the day, this site would have been thrown its own ticker tape parade by MTS2

 I never paid attention to the chattier stuff and the gossip on this thread is killing me.  :lol:

Sure we can. Watch us do so!

I personally blame him for this silly "OMG hush it up hush it up" scramble because the bigger a deal you make of something you don't want other people to know, the faster it's going to spread in whispers - with nasty gossip attached (Oooh, he cheated on Eve? I had a feeling something bad had gone down back then but that is low).

The best way to counter speech you don't like is not censorship but more speech. If Delphy got this site out in the open and publicly - no, wait, that would take something well thought out and require that he stand behind it, and he's never shown much evidence of a backbone. Or brains, hence why I didn't finish my thought; can't go around giving them ideas.

Amen to that. How the mighty have fallen. It used to be the anti-sheep site relatively uncensored and saucy as hell with lots of attitude. Now it is a sheep site.

And Renatus, he never stands behind anything or anyone. Not for very long anyway.

[sickpuppy]

When MTS2 came along there was a scramble to keep them out of sight too! lol. They were the bad guys and Delphy and Eve were totally loud about dissing those that shunned them, how they hated paysites, etc.

Yes, how the mighty have fallen....a slow, sure slide since Eve left.

I don't think anything has purposely been pushed in MTS2's face.  Lyriclee was a target because she banned Pescado from chat, she kept calling me a thief, even though she had no proof since I hadn't even started uploading shit to this site, and all the while she was downloading stuff here herself.

Not to mention she sends pay files all the time to her friends through MSN.  It's only because she works (worked?) at MTS2 that it even got mentioned at all.

However, having said that, it's not like Pescado to be subtle.
