Another new paysite...simphany.com

[BlueButterfly]

I was browsing through TSR today and saw in one of the Select Artists blog, they have just opened a new site, and yes, it's pay. She goes by clcny20 at TSR.

http://www.simphany.com

I looked through the site and I am not impressed. The navigation sucks and the members section preview asks me for a name and password.. The PREVIEWS! So, I guess you have to sign up before even previewing the Members Section.

Edited to add that reading her About Me page at TSR, she also has a website charging people for tarot readings. Hmmm...

Needless to say she isnt getting any of my money for either ripoffs she's doing.

If people are ballsy enough to charge for pixels, they are apparently ballsy enough to open as a paysite. That's pretty much admitting that the money is solely an ego stroke, not for bandwidth.

Had a giggle at the Q&A section...

Unlike other sites, I will never debit your account unsuspectingly (there ARE no recurring subscriptions--I hate those, they're sneaky).  

Mmmmm a dig at TSR?

13.  May I feature one of your meshes on my own page/mini-site/website/Sims site?

NO!  If I see this, I will take every action to get your page/mini-site/website/sims site banned, and make sure to post your page/mini-site/website/sims site's name (AND YOURS!) as a public example of mesh thieving.  

I work very hard on my meshes, and will not sit pretty while someone else takes credit for them.

YOU MAY ONLY RECOLOR MY MESHES.  YOU CANNOT ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY.  YOU MUST LINK BACK TO MY SITE FOR THE MESHES!

I hope I made that clear--don't say you were not warned...

so be warned you pesky pirates!  :lol: although the promise to post our link everywhere seems like a great advertisement....

lol the free downloads button doesn't even work.

[wicked_one]

in order to see the free page you have to read her faq page, once you get the link to it, you get a working link to the member preview page which has no working images.
And i feel bad for new downloaders or at least newbie-ish ones coming from tsr to her site and having to go through the incredibly shitty navigation she's got going on. Poor little lambs will get lost pretty quickly
If her pay things are the same quality as her free shit, i dont think its even worth being put into the booty

[Electricstatic]

Oh my god. That web design. It's so 90's "look what my image editing program can do!" Blech!

On her about me page:

I thank all the great people at   www.modthesims2.com for their incredible tutorials!

Yeah, so you can go and charge for their hard work, eh?

Can you put the paysite name in the topic please?  I'm sure this site will be mentioned again and people should be redirected here.

As for the site itself.. ugh, I thought they couldn't get worse than cardrew but they prove me wrong!  The free stuff makes Atwa's crapola look good.  It took going to the member preview to even be able to click on the free stuff button.  And yeah, I'm getting the log in pop up as well. The member preview pictures are broken too.







Mmm, quality.

If you don't like it, do not make a donation, as simple as that!
Personally I'll pass... :roll:

[AnneBonny]

Clcny20 is a half-wit She created her paysite in protest of not being chosen as a FA before the other SA artists gave their souls to Tomboy.

[missangelica]

Blodeuwedd, that's all well and good but with that site you can't even see what you would be paying for!

Sorry, I edited the post to put the name in the topic

[Lollirot]

I read her blog a few days ago, and today is the 1st day the site was opened, and she had said many times in previous blogs, she didn't want to open it yet, because it wasn't all finished, and she didn't want ppl msging her about when this or that would be done. But despite that fact she said in the last blog I read, that she has decided to open it now, because so many ppl keep asking her when it will be done, and she's been talking about it for months now. So that's probaly why none of the stuff is working properly.

Some of her things at TSR aren't that horrible, but idk whats up with those pictures in this thread lol, she must be putting all the horrific things for free, so you want the pay stuff even more. She did say though, that she would never make anyone pay for the maxis recolors, only her own meshes, and mesh recolors. Maxis clothes are very bleh anyways, without someone adding those horrible colors to them lol.  :oops:

[sheehaz]

You've got to be kidding....I can't even see what the heck she has available in the members section.  :roll:

Thanks a lot!  That helps a bunch.

That's what I was thinking when I first read her name on this thread!   Out of curiosity I had to find her on tsr and lordy, the woman has over 2,000 clothing for just women!  (Given a lot of those are just recolors of one outfit but..)
