Crediting Custom Content Creators-- without knowing hardly anything.
Zazazu:
MTS2 has its good points and its bad points. If you are doing something all your own, it's great. Write a couple lines, smack on a few pictures, and you're done. Including other people's items or meshes is a major pain in the rear as there is so much involved in crediting. That's why all my shared lots are here, not there...that and because I use pay meshes and blatantly link to the booty.

That's been my major reason to avoid MTS2. I might be able to say which creator the mesh is from, but find the mesh again on a broken website? And link to it? And give detailed instructions on which mesh it is on that page? I hardly download clothes from there anymore because acquiring meshes is so confusing and often the creator doesn't walk the downloader through the process, so I just get frustrated and cancel the download. If not, I end up with a great deal of Season's outerwear icons in my game. >:(
So I'll probably host them on a free sub-domain. Everyone has Adblock, right? :-\
Zazazu:
It's hard for me to understand most creator's TOS since mine are so lax. I honestly don't give a crap what you do with my stuff. Say you made it. Change the file names. Take pictures of sims in PU attire and write "Zazazu is a fuzzy F-type who sucks donkey balls" and spam it on the BBS. Burn my lots in effigy and post videos at Youtube. Whatever, just don't put it on a paysite.
So honestly, why all (non-pay) creators don't let their meshes be included with recolors is beyond me. If you put your name on it, there is no issue. Less bandwidth cost for you.

I'd love to see that written as an actual TOU :D I don't care what people do with my stuff either.

Kazzandra, would you be interested in hosting your stuff on my domain? I could probably host the files - will have to talk it through with my other half with regards to bandwidth issues. Can you code HTML? If not I could code a simple website for you to go with the files. Advertising etc would all be up to you. I don't care about where meshes come from etc so long as your stuff works. It'd be free, of course.
I've been thinking for a while about setting up a Sims subdomain, but the only content I have to put on there are stories and very little CC.
