Universal Sims...

cool thanks for that, n99 needs membership so I cant get in, but I'll have a look for it at maty  

[Jojoba]

I've read about it at MATY...and I don't believe everything that is on the net, even if there is truth about it its probably been exaggerated  :? Well I do hope so anyway...

[wicked_one]

what are you guys talking about? the delphy "story"? cant get any more real than a news article lol
besides i think we're not allowed to talk about that here or at least not give a direct link to it?

[calalily]

I certainly believe it - and think there was more to it.  I think the whole thing at MATY was minimised a lot, and I don't agree.  Prosecutors have limited budgets, and don't just hand out court cases like the state is made of money.

It does sound minimized: "Oh, we all have porn on our hard drives - so what?"

/throws up hands/ I don't know what to think about this community any more.

Basically I feel like everyone is f*cking everyone else over. Delphy is against paysites, but he too has costs and is at least partially reimbursed for them.

Everyone admits they use donated money for their own expenses, and they all say "So what? I'm entitled to it."  :evil:

They all seem to be saying (at MATY), "Hey, Delphy gives us good stuff for free, so we don't care if he humps babies! That's his personal business!!!!!11111!@!!"

Sounds like a good deal of the Sims 2 community need real jobs.

ETA: And by that I mean the paysite owners who make a 'living' off their creations. The rest of you who don't charge for your creations and use any donated money for real purposes like bandwidth are ok by me.

It's not such a leap of logic to think that Delphy is behind the teen porn forum, then.

I don't know what Delphy was convicted of, and to be honest, I haven't actually dug into it.  I did click on the news-link, but it wouldn't come up.

I do refuse to judge until I know more details.  People can be sex offenders for the most ridiculous reasons - or the more harmful ones.

[missangelica]

I don't know why people are avoiding direct linking to the news article.  Read it for yourself.

In the MATY thread of "Wow!  These(sic) Stuff are so Expensive!" Delphy even admits to it.  It's not pure speculation people.  It is real.  Life is an ugly reality.  

I wonder how many under aged kids sent him panty pictures.  He was known in the mts2 chat for having a panty fetish.

Hampshire?! Fucking hell that is too close to home...

[Feverish]

Someone did link to it a while back but there was a complaint saying that it was personal info and it shouldn't be linked here.

[missangelica]

Someone was asking why Delphy hasn't been ousted of the community and I thought about it.  Why do people still shop at Wal-mart knowing it's over running mom and pop stores?  Why do people still use gasoline even though it hurts the environment and our health?  Answer to all three is that it fulfills a need.  Sure, getting stuff for your computer dolls is an artificial need and by that I mean it isn't one of the core needs (food, hunger, shelter) but it's a need all the same.  As long as the need is there, Delphy will never be ousted.

ETA:  The same could be applied to TSR and paysites in general.

[chlyn]

If people say it's personal and shouldn't be discussed, that's pushing it under the rug. It's unpleasant, yes, but it involves something that's a) illegal and b) a matter of public record. I thought this forum wasn't like N99, where the least bit of unpleasantness gets locked and deleted.

[Feverish]

Especially since there are lots of kids that visit mts2 and s2c.
But I suppose they didn't agree.

Mateys, remind me to smack myself in the head should I ever question my tendency to believe the creepiest interpretation of facts and feel guilty about it, arr?
