Huzzah, new killmark - Birgit

[Gwendolyne]

Meine neuen sachen werden demnächst bei TSR hochgeladen.
wie ich das mit den bananasachen mache ist noch in der schwebe.
steffors bananasachen bleiben aber auf meiner seite.
ich mache das, weil ich die nase voll habe von den Piratenseiten

Aber ich muss das wirtschaftlich sehen. TSR hat 1400000 mitglieder.
wenn jeder 10. meine sachen zieht, verdien ich weiter mein geld .
der traffic meiner seite kostet jeden monat 25€ . er ist so extrem hochgegangen, durch die ganzen free sets von banana. die einnahmen waren aber extrem rückläufig, weil die letzten 3 sets immer schon am 3. tag auf der piratenseite gehostet waren. wer kauft denn noch was , wenn er weiss wo er es frei findet

For those that do not speak German:
Birgit will only upload to TSR in future. She is doing this, cause she is fed up with Piratessites.
 Her Site had too much traffic with all the the free stuff there, so she had to pay 25 Euros every month.  :shock:
And then, as the sets were uploaded on piratessites after 3 days, nobody downloaded them  :cry:
Now she works for TSR as she earns her money there when every 10th of the 1400000 members there downloads her stuff.

25 Euros a month?  :shock:   I'm sure she could have gotten a better hosting plan somewhere else.

Her logic makes no sense because her stuff is going to be pirated from TSR anyway.  :lol:

Now she works for TSR as she earns her money there and does not have to take care for evil filesharers

It's nice to see where her true priorities lie.  It wasn't for the fans because she was moaning about downloaders grabbing her free stuff.

ETA:  I wish her fans that don't read German could see where her thoughts really lie.  

Plus, if she's blaming pirates for her site closing, wouldn't this qualify as a full killmark?  

[Gwendolyne]

Birgit has always stated she did it for the money, so that is not a surprise for me.
Yes, 25 Euros. That is 7 people buying a payset. That is a lot.

At least one person has to buy it anyway for PMBD.
Maybe one for SFV.

Hmm. Poor Birgit, she'll get more money at TSR!

[emmag]

I really don't understand how they can try and make filesharers look like evil beings... if she was strapped for cash, there was NOTHING stopping her uploading to a community website like Modthesims2.com instead; she could share her creations with fans and it wouldn't have cost her anything.

As soon as they're offered money, their priorities go straight out of the window... it's kind of sad, really.

[Granuaile]

It doesn't sound like she ever did it for the fans but for cold hard cash.  Yet the thing is, if it wasn't for her fans she would be...nothing.  That's something these paysite owners seem to forget.

[MizzKitty]

I don't know this Birgit person or her creations (at least I don't recall downloading from her) but if she'd rather upload to TSR than find cheaper hosting then... Well... She'll get what's coming to her as we Destroy All Things Pay!  :twisted:

[Gwendolyne]

Come on, 25 Euros, that is 33,90  USD
10 people buying her set and she is in plus!  
And I bet there were a few hundred peple buying her set  :evil:

A few hundred... Times 25 euro... HOW is it they claim that it doesn't pay for them? I'm considering becoming a paysite owner now $.$

Now she works for TSR as she earns her money there when every 10th of the 1400000 members there downloads her stuff.

I dont see her listed as an FA so is this something that is being kept a secret from the others?

she's listed as SA which is a non paid position, and yet she clearly states she is being paid. I wonder how many more are on a secret payroll.

I never thought of that, but it makes sense because she had a lot of people who loved her stuff.  Didn't she first establish herself at Meshkiste, a free site?

Wait!  Isn't Brigit the one who has files that override Maxis' stuff?

[Gwendolyne]

I can only say what she wrote, sherrie_sim. I am sure she does have an appointment already with TSR to become an FA after a little time. If it was a secret, she shouldn't have posted iit in a forum where nosy German speaking Gwendolyne could find and read it  :roll:

[Hecubus]

Oh, this is good.

Does she not think we will get her stuff in the booty?

Silly bitch. How do we say that in German? LOL

[littlegeisha]

Does she not think we will get her stuff in the booty?

soon she will be a FA, and until tsr is up, and pays FA, she will be payed, even if her stuffs are in the booty. if she does it for money, she don't care if her creations are in the booty.

[Feverish]

If her stuff is in the booty, less people will download it on tsr.
That means less money for her doesn't it?

i wish i could shove this translation up to all blind, naive paysite supporter that comes up with the "they only charge to cover bandwidth costs" line.
