New paysite threatening to open

[Lisa]

I find this whole discussion tedious, especially the bit about how I (we), by virtue of posting on here, am (are) actively harassing paysite owners.

As I've noted before, once you violate the EULA and try to wring money out of your peers for pixels, you're dead to me and cease to exist. No attention, no site hits, no e-mails, nothing.

The most I do is point and laugh.

In Net-Macro-ese: "Plz to not feed the attention hos, kthxbye."

I think the lion's den analogy is apt. I won't seek THEM out, but if they come to our playhouse and Are More Stupid, then they pretty much volunteer for all abuse and dogpiling they get, at least here in the forum. Don't like it? Go away, or lurk and tremble in impotent rage like the other scurvy dog paysite people.

*shrug*

*sniff* That was...beautiful man

Love, if you're making a paysite, with the members section not for pixels, WHAT ARE YOU CHARGING FOR?!?!?!
And if you say people won't buy anyway, WHY OH WHY are you DOING it?!!!!

I'm not really interested any more. She just seems to be whining, so we whine, then she whines that we whine  :roll: Its all very 12-ish tbh

[Lhop]

Hmm, I've been away for only a few days, and it looks like I missed a whole lotta drama.  Why oh why is it that every time I stop going on forums for a couple of days so I can actually play my game does something good have to happen on said forums?!  Oh woe is me...
Oh well.  Elmo, I just want to know, why do you create for a game you don't enjoy playing?  As I mentioned in my previous post, I do like some of your stuff, the other stuff is really not my style, and is a dime a dozen, as you seem to know.  So I'd just like to know why it is so important for you to keep creating?  And what is this "I have an obligation that I can't tell you about" bullshit?  Why would you even mention the "obligation" if you can't tell us what it is.
Oh, and by the way, maybe you do intend to put all that stuff in, and I realize that you don't send people to blank pages, but I still get annoyed when sites have sections advertised that don't have anything in them.  You can get annoyed at me for mentioning that all you want...
I know this has been a redundant post, I'm basically just summing up what everyone else has said, but I just can't go without throwing in my two cents!

I really don't understand, and no, it's not because of my poor language skills.

Statement of "PMBD people" (us) is:
- There's no need nor right to charge money for custom sims content.

Aim of PMBD is:
- Fight and hopefully have the paysite phenomenon cease to exist.
- If not entirely possible, at least give paysites the most hard living we can.

Now, my question is: whatever your personal reasons are, do they reasonabily may us rethink about statements and aims?
If yes, then well, let's talk about it: it may be interesting (and I'm not sarcastic).
If not, or if you don't want to, then WTF are you blabbering about?

[Tchannie]

But I thought she said that she wasn't gonna include TS2 crap in her members folder?

I'm never gonna find out how to pronounce Ameliiya.

I'm never gonna find out how to pronounce Ameliiya.

*snorts*  Alas, we may never find satisfaction.

[chlyn]

Actually, I know: it's "ahm-a-little-shorta-cash"  :roll:

[MMEStalker]

I'm never gonna find out how to pronounce Ameliiya.

Quick dictionary check:

/bæt'ʃɪt ɪn'seɪn/

Boredom causes strange behavior.  I googled "Ameliiya" to see if there was anything I was missing, and the first ten or so pages are all her, her myspace, or links to her webpage via other sims sites.

Is this one of those things where someone believes they have a 'boring' name, and thus try to dress it up with extra letters?

I'm not even trying to put her down.  I have a weird interest in names and origins of name, and I have a hard time believing that someone would stick their child with a double "i" in their name.

[Tchannie]

And then a "y"! Why two "i"s AND a "y"?!
And how can it sound different to what it looks like, ne?

[Phelim]

Quick dictionary check:

/bæt'ʃɪt ɪn'seɪn/

Uh huh. So, um... hmm. Ameliiya?

Ah-me-lie-ee-yah?

Amy-lee-ya?

I'll stick with the dictionary check, methinks.

[missangelica]

"Ameliiya" is just a big flashing sign that says, "I'm a pretentious prick!"  We must do the proper thing and point and laugh at her.
