well isnt that nice, charging you for things you get for free on every other sims forum lol
I like the fact that on the homepage they make it sound like donation is voluntary and will get you nothing. Then you look for downloads and all you can find is downloads news which leads you to the forums
Then when you get to the forums, there are no free downloads. They have the "special donation den" visible to guests but you cant download any of it obviously, so when he says they have 525 downloads available he means 525 donation items?
WTF. That doesnt give anybody the opportunity to try before they buy.
I also like the fact that they have
end-user license agreement before you download; since they are violating EA's, I guess that means they're giving us the OK to violate theirs. It also says they give you no warranty or refunds so if you pay and the downloads are utter shit, oh well thats your fault for being a dumbass and giving them money in the first place.
This guy is unbelievable:
So where do we stand with the budget some of you maybe asking? Well, the good news is we're paying off the remainder of what we owe. The bad news...we didn't make the goal of paying it off by end of year.
Luckily with kind donations from people, and some small surplus ad revenue, we brought the outstanding balance down from $2800.00USD to 865.44 as of today.
By my estimates, ad revenue will decrease somewhat this year and I'm doing my best to compensate for that. However I do not want to depend on ad-revenue to sustain this site.
If you can find it in your heart to order a SimsPass Membership, we'd be eternally greatful if you could. All money goes towards paying off the WorldSims budget .
We appreciate everyone support WorldSims this year and we look forward to a solid 2007 year
If you read further into the announcements area you'll see he's claiming they have 3 servers to pay for plus he's paying for ads plus paid for vb blah blah blah...
Why would they need 3 servers if they barely have any downloads (which are all restricted to donators) and all the rest is chitchat? I have more downloads on my site and probably more visitors but I won't need a server anytime soon. I can't believe people are buying into his bullshit.
