THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Fairywitch has a fairly new TS2 site, but it's run in a slightly different way than the norm.  She has two different kinds of donation buttons - one is for people to donate anything they want without receiving a gift and the other donation button is to donate $3 Euros for a retro set she's offering as a donation gift.

I wasn't sure if you knew about the site, so I figure I'd give a heads up just in case.  The link below is to the donation page for the retro set, and both types of buttons are available.

That seems like an... odd way to go about things. Why not just have one donation button thing? Send them the gift whether they wanted it or not, it is not like they have to put it in their game.

Overly complicated, bah. *stomps on it*

Edit: Damn typos!

She pays 6.95 a month for her hosting and needs donations. If she gets 3 donations that will pay one month and she will have a little left over. When you pay that little bit of money for hosting it just does not make sense.

Argh, the brightness scares me, make it go away.

I believe the owner also has an account on TSR.  I had one of her chairs in my game but the polycount was ridiculously high so I deleted it.

And the two Paypal buttons are beyond my comprehension.  Maybe it's the next big paysite trend, "Donate now!  Receive nothing in return except the promise that our site will always provide you with quality downloads you won't have access to unless you give us more money!"

There is a useful reason for two buttons and in fact I have been asking some paysites to do that as an experiment.  I am trying to demonstrate to them that they could end up getting as much income from voluntary donations as they do by selling a file for the money.  This is in the hopes they will drop the pay stuff altogether.

The logic of this seems to be a failure. Why would someone donate money to a paysite?

Everyone over at sim bellas seemed really hyped up about her site returning.

Granted, she made some amazing stuff for the sims1 at TSR, but from what I have seen so far her tallent for the sims1 is not working for the sims2.

But her fan base/reputation seems to strong so it doesn't look like a fail.

Well at least the layout does suck and destroy you eyes, which is a good thing!

Besides, her free downloads don't look half bad, unlike some out there.[/quote]

That would make sense, since her last site was for TS1. Bringing back the TS1 experience, hell yes!

Hosted by Lunarpages, eh? Lets all jump on there, browse around, and eat up the bandwidth so she can see what the real Lunarpages customer experience is like.

I was just wondering since she states right on the front page that she has a love of web design... white background with black text with zero images is hardly ... design.  More like a resume.

That's the same shit that I was getting, the forbidden message. I typed www.fairywitchsims.com and got in. The site is no big deal.
