Now even more ridiculous! (the bouffant edition)

I think simplystella was referring to XM Sims releasing old pay items for free after a period of time (after they've scraped the barrel for getting the most money from it).

Well they did say that is what was going to happen, but during the time I was required to reassess them at intervals for FFSS grading (obsolete as from a few days ago) nothing had moved on that front.

No, the federation quit *my* website. I wasn't gonna give space to a community resource at my own time and expense and then get slagged off for it too, so I turned the site into something I could enjoy running.  |

Google also ranks sites based on how many hits a link gets for particular search terms. TSR is basically an unbeatable monster when you take that into account.

I am glad you took this action instead of leaving the community all together. I love your creations and admire your talent. This is a game...and we should all have fun with whatever avenue we take. Excluding selling content illegally. |

Btw, I guess Google basically list sites using their meta tags. No google largely ignores keywords. Sites are ranked by how many pages link to them. That's part of it. There is a science to SEO, and most of it has to do with page content, META tags, ALT tags, H1 tags, etc. It's not just links or META tags. If only it was that easy! |

I'm not sure what you mean. They do continuously release the donation/submittors' items in the free section about 1-2 months after their initial posting. |

When I was there a couple of weeks ago there was the news item saying something about that's what they would be doing, but there were donation sets going back over years still not free. It was expecting them to make all but their two newest donation sets free. Or that's what they would have had to do to qualify as a rotating paysite and be listed. |

See, I didn't even know they had stuff going that far back. I had just assumed whenever something was made free, it was newish and for donators/creators, mainly because there were a couple of hairs that came out late last year/beginning of this year that I kept an eye out for.
The latest thing released, I skimmed and saw March, thought it was March of THIS year, but it was apparently March of 05. Wow. So it might be bit by bit, but if it's that old, why not just release it all?
I just don't know why I managed to not notice that there was stuff in their donation section before!

What I can see is that XM didn't release a payset in 15 months, the last was released in 03/2006.
Yes, they said they would release one or two a month... and this month they released a skinset.
For me it looks like as if they are releasing the remaining sets when they didn't have enough time to create a new update, but I might be wrong.
Yes, they still have 25 sets left, and if they go on like now they will last for 12-25 months. There are still paypal buttons so that you are able to pay for these sets. So they technically are a paysite, but since they are not releasing new ones, I think of them as rather a free than a paysite.

That's part of the problem with this whole free/pay controversy. No one can really agree on the definition of a paysite |
