Huh, I've never even heard of these people. A mini TSR?

[AnneBonny]

Good riddance to SimHost. Killmark indeed.  

[Lorelei]

If SimsHost is going down, you can perhaps claim a number of Killmarks:

Hmm.

Re: the first link: I'm not sure the message was understood fully by the board posters. To be fair, he was a wee bit cagey about what side he stood upon, if one is sarcasm-impaired.

[Lorelei]

Incidentally, the only site on that list that looks familiar to me is All For Sims, and maybe Artistic Habitats. Never used any SimsHost sites.

What hosting group is/was Dincer Hepguler's site on? MoonSims or somesuch? I forget. It is/was a similar umbrella of pay-ness, though.

ETA: "SITES HOSTED BY
MOON SIMS

dincer hepguler
thesims site

Hooty Holler

Ikbod's

KILLERSIMS Free

SimLove

Similarity Free

Sim-Sations

SimsDiva "

Some duplications here and with SimsHost. Not interested in parsing who should get credit or blame for being the PayMeister for the group of sites, but I suppose SimsHost would outrank MoonSims, given that they claim they "brought you MoonSims".

[Rovam]

Simshost is dead? EXCELLENT. That deserves an extra-shiny killmark. Maybe with fairies and glittery sparkles ala Peggy.

Aquamarine - they're like a hosting service  for sims sites, a little like TSR except everything's not consolidated on one big site. People had to donate to Simshost to access the content on any of the sites hosted there (and the content was, for the most part, purest crap. Sub-TSR crap, in many cases).

The article on simhost was dated 1st April.

And thus the fun was ruined.  :lol:

Our apologies for the timing of this announcement. Please be assured that this is not an April Fool's Day joke.

From the bottom of the announcement. :|

[chlyn]

The spin with SimsHost was that you paid the money up front, and each download would be a charge against your account, to pay for bandwidth.

As soon as any artist got popular and saw how much Greg was earning from her work, she/he'd leave and start a paysite.

The artists that were left weren't as skilled and sometimes didn't update as often. I'm surprised the site lasted as long as it has.

[ghengisjohn]

I really don't understand this plague for needing pay for hosting (okay, yes I do. They just want the money). There's all the ones that'll let you put your stuff up for free and I can't be the only person who offers to host anyone they see in trouble.

Also! I love Tubekitten. He should make friends with this little guy: http://www.roflcat.com/curse-you-villain.php

He's who I picture when I think about the paysite owners and this place, anyway.

[missangelica]

To think that this news was an April Fools joke made me tear up a little.  Good riddance to simshost!

With a Pirate Cat, you mean.

I can't tell if that guy is making fun of pro-paysite arguments or is serious.  :roll:

[RedLove]

Woo! If we're having an e-party I'll bring the e-potato salad. That bit about the April Fools Day scared me. I was thinking "What if it really is an april fools joke they just don't want us to think so?"  :?
