Survey on VS
witch:
Just thought I'd let everybody know I have decided, after a good night's sleep, to take my lots off VS and leave an explanation why.
Don't suppose my post will be there long, it's all very 1984, but I feel much better for having done it. I don't like conflict but I usually stand up for my beliefs.
Now I just have to make a webpage. This would be fine except I've just downloaded Pegasys' (sp?) new sims database and I also have a java assignment due in in a couple of weeks. And all I really want to do is play the sims. ;) Still, I'll let you know when I have something back up. I'm working on a split level house in shades of grey - based on Retroville set from MTS2 and a boarding house lot with elevators at the moment.
Edit: Well less than three hours I lasted. I had an auto-email from the thread I left, dizzy2 replied. I clicked the link. No thread, no witch. Gone, never existed. I feel a little orwellian today.
So, here is the text I posted at VS when I left.
If you have come to this forum looking for lots to download, I'm sorry but they have been removed. I hope this does not cause too much inconvenience to you.
I've decided I would like to put my lots on my own webpage, which will hopefully be ready in a couple of weeks.
Someone recently reminded me that I am known by the company I keep. The reason I am withdrawing from Variousimmers is because of a recent thread about CEP. Going by the abusive irrational comments I read in the first couple of pages of that thread, the first couple of pages was all I could stomach of the 9 odd pages, these are not people with whom I wish to be associated.
The final post, vilifying the character of a well known person in the sims2 community was nothing short of disgusting. I don't know the person being verbally abused, only of him, but no-one deserves filth like that. I followed a link to that post and wished I hadn't. I do not understand why it was allowed to remain there.
Variousimmers purports to be a family friendly site, so allowing that thread to rage unchecked, with participation from some of the staff of this site to boot, is almost unbelievable.
I'm not tarring all Variousimmer's staff with the same brush either, there were only a few here who participated, I've no idea how the others feel, some are possibly in shock.
I do say thank you to Variousimmers for hosting my lots, I hope many found enjoyment from downloading and playing them.
I'm sure I'll be seeing many of you round the sims community, those of us who just like playing a game and having a hobby anyway!
Cheers

Yeah, I composed a thoughtful, heartfelt goodbye and it got FUCKING DELETED. I'm not happy about that, but oh well. >:(
witch:
Thanks! Don't spose you kept a copy of your text? I kept a copy of mine 'cos I expected this to happen. If you don't like something, just vanish it and pretend it never happened!

Well I pretty much have to eat my hat again. I tore this site off a strip about all that Sheep stuff, but it's certainly coming in handy as somewhere we can discuss this matter openly without being asked to take it to private email :D And Pescado please don't rub it in again this time lol :)
dizzy:
The reply I wrote only made any sense in the context in which it was posted. Since the thread is gone, my context as well as my words are now gone. Either way, there's really no point in reposting it.
In any case, I now hold modthesims2 in much higher esteem than I did previously, though it is still far less awesome than *this* site.
