Hi.  I just found this, via other pirates.  

I think it's important to encourage and thank creators for their work.  I think it's important to thank people in the world for taking a stand.  I think that what is being done here (including the whole 'in your face' attitude) is a Very Good Thing.  

I remember getting my sims game on release day.  I remember reading the EULA because there was a bunch of internet hullabaloo about it.  I remember being insanely joyous because that EULA pretty much said that everything creators make for this game will be free because they say so.  I remember being double insane with glee when I realised that all CC used in building and decorating a lot would be included with that lots package, because that's the way it was written.

I was very very very very sad when paysites stayed.

And not just because I'm broke and the prices these people ask for their items is fucking insane if all that money is for is to keep their website running.  People make money off this shit to supliment their lifestyle, and turn around and deny it.  I wouldn't be so ... irritated by it if they just fessed up and told the truth.

And then there are places like TSR.  Taking the communities work and putting it up for sale, when the most a creator is going to get is a few free membership days, and that's only if they pump things out on a steady and regular basis.  They have thousands of members, they boast being the largest sim community, and there is no way in fuck all that those monthly donation fees are just enough to cover running costs.  Someone is sitting fat and happy on a wad of cash.  It's a hell of a racket.

So really, thank you guys.  Thank you for allowing me to be a pirate.  There's a good deal of it that is principle for me.

I just want to say Thank You!  Saw alot of things that were cute, but definately not worth what  the paysites are asking for it.

I won't feel right if I don't contribute my own 'thank you' to this thread, so..

Thanks. Really.

I'm highly opposed to paysites and the fact that it seems to be more about greed than this 'it's for bandwidth' excuse.

[flyonthewall]

I'll add my thanks to this thread too.

This site is awesome. I'm glad somebody is standing up to the paysites. I love reading the drama and the gossip and the hypocrisy.

You guys rock!

I need to thank everyone who made me laugh so hard today. Your posts are so hilarious.

Thank you to everyone who made this site possible. I love it. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I was actually considering making a "donation" at PeggySims2 and coming here totally made me not do it. I can't believe how greedy these people are. Sharing personal information? WTF.

Argh, internet drama!

I just thought I should post before I grab my share of the booty.
Yes I am known on one of the sites you love to hate.
No this is not my real name.
No I have never paid for CC and never intended to.
I agree that Sims CC does not qualify for all the accusations of "THEIF" that seem to be everywhere.
I really hope I can spell it properly when I need to. Seeing things the wrong way so many times can really mess with your head.
I have only just discovered this place, but I haven't done much reading at MATY until recently and I've only posted once. All the carry on about sharing PayPal info has got me reading a lot and I stumbled across a mention of this site. No surprise really as I've always been a bit scared to get involved at MATY. I would definitely be locked up in RL as I can say some pretty dumb things at times. I will probably stick to being a lurker for a while yet, although it isn't quite as intolerant here.
Don't get me wrong, I can do intolerant too, and do everyday. Stupid people are my major prejudice in life. I just sometimes end up on the wrong end being intoleranted at. You know the words.

On topic: Oh yeah Thank-you.

Thank you for being a friend,
Travelled down the road and back again.
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant.

And if you threw a party-,
Invited everyone you knew-,
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say,
Thank you for being a friend-.
