Your personal Anti-Paysite activism?

[fionaskye]

I wish I could do more, I'm willing to help in anyway I can

Hey, Sherrie!  I was just over at your site lookin' through your stuff (which is nice, by the way!) and I was surprised to see your update about sending donations to charities instead of to you guys.  I have to say that I'm so happy and so proud of you!  It's beyond awesome to see that and you deserve some recognition for that!

Kudos to you, sweetness!  To quote one of my favourite movie characters, "You so totally rock!"

[MoonDragon]

I haven't done anything unusual.  I've directed a few people to the booty and done my own share of plundering.  I've signed the petition and sent my letter.  I talked a couple other people into sending letters too.  Now that it won't get me banned, I've got piratical links in my sigs at MTS2/S2C.  When I feel the need, I'll send a little love to free creators, including hitting the Thanks button on MTS2, signing guestbooks or sending emails, etc.  I've never paid for CC and have sworn to never do so unless it is to help round out the booty.

I don't do a damn thing.

Same here.

[giggy]

Oh so many things I have done

 - Made up a story about how TSR bankrupted a family member
 - Spread the story round
 - Converted a few paysite lovers to pirates

Oh I just can't count the possibilities of what I did and what people could've done

I look at the guestbooks on paysites, and everytime someone wishes for a pay item to be free, I email them. Of course, for that to work, they need to leave an email address for me to use. But a lot of them do.

I wonder if I should make a new email address (PMBD@gmail.com, or something like that) so that the people I email will pay more attention to the emails I send them. So far nobody has emailed me back.

I can't tell. They have spies everywhere.

I just got thesims2 community on Livejournal to change their PMBD policy, by asking politely on a post, and giving them links to Nouk's proof and the policy change on S2C.  YAY

[bohemianscribe]

I can't say I've done an awful lot I'm afraid.  What I have done:
+ Linked PMBD at my LJ
+ Signed the Petition
+ I refuse to pay for CC, no matter how good it is.

That is a nice idea. I like it and I might try it, too. Good work.

or TSR @ gmail.com :lol:

Oh dear god....it exists already?

[Hekima]

Better yet: somebody sets up Gmail on a subdomain for other users to partake of. Like, I dunno, thesimsresource.info for example. I've got that going on my own subdomain and would offer to do it again if I wasn't in the process of moving my site away from an unhelpful host.

[Capucine]

I had a minor brainwave today; I use www.bugmenot.com a lot to get a quick login to sites that force you to register to gain access (it may be free, but it's the principle, blast it) and I had a little thought that maybe other people who, not wanting to pay for Sims junk, might go looking for a sneaky back-door in on the off-chance one of the logins worked :lol: Of course none of them do, so I'm putting a little nudge in this direction in the entries of out favourite paysites. The text boxes don't allow enough text to input the URL, this little phrase was the best I could do.

Not much, but I hope it's better than nothing.

1. I've sent money to two paysites and the Sims2 Enhancer. Have posted my situation with S2E here and elsewhere. (Let the buyer beware!) Bought one donation pack only to share it with fellow pirates here. Was ignorant ... more than usual ... with the first donation pack, unfortunately.

2. Did send a little money to Bluesoup for a subscription.

3. Sent whatever paypal info I had on the paysite in #1 to Kathy.

4. Do not plan to ever buy a donation pack or subscription again unless I'm going to share it here. And now EA has made it official ... I CAN share it. Not that that stopped me before.

5. Have donated money to free sites when I can.

6. Am always thankful to creators of free content, and make every effort to post "thanks" and praise.

7. If a creator even hints of yanking his or her stuff off a free site and going home, or in too many cases, going to TSR, posting whatever I have of his or her stuff here or in the Sims 2 Graveyard.
