Does this make sense?

can somebody try to send me a pm on VS? My sent items have disappeared (no I did not delete them) and I'm curious to see if I can still read them (I remember Inge having trouble viewing PMs after being 'accidentally' banned - sorry, put on read-only - sorry, disabled).
The following users were not found:
vecsta
I tried and the above was the very quick terse response
Sorry I forgot to mention that my username there is vecki - never changed it like I did here.
I sent you a PM let me know if you got it at VS

At the risk of posting what is no doubt an unpopular option, here's something we might try:
Mind our Own Business.
Ahh, so like psychodramas in dysfunctional families we're not supposed to make notice of the "elephant standing in the middle of the livingroom." Sorry, I just don't buy it. Even if I'd just been a member of VS I would have been disgusted by that CEP thread childishness and completely perplexed by the link blocking to this site. Seems to me that since Sims1 sites have been allowing links to each other in politeness to the gamer to be able to find what they need. This was even in cases where the site owners didn't exactly like each other very much, but they still behaved like mature adults. Most people are going to be looking at the behavior over at VS and saying, "WTH?" And since we're inquisitive human beings we're bound to talk about things that don't make sense.
I won't bother to PM Rentechd with anything. To me her pattern of behavior makes me feel as though I cannot trust her. I will gladly let my account fade away. But if she's going to get bent that people are speaking negatively about her then she should have chosen her actions more wisely. You reap what you sow. Even though I couldn't ever make an object I know emotional games when I see them and you can bet I'll call attention to them.

I agree. I personally have referred people to numerous sims sites, including those where I have beefs with people who run them like VS. It's no one else's fault if we have issues with certain people or sites and it's not fair to try and keep people from accessing files that will help them in their game for our own selfish personal reasons.
In the case of Vampcat, I think what he's doing is just plain stupid. Why would you want to duplicate work someone else did? As someone who occasionally mucks around with the game files in SimPE I can tell you it's tedious stuff and I sure as hell am not going to bother with going through that if someone else already did!

I agree SimPE while being a helpful tool in getting into game file ect...it is tedious work even just doing simple editing with sims.I use it as tool to create my own recolored objects in my game as well and even though the object creator works very well it is still time consuming to get the cc package in to the game where it will stick and look right.so as a person who is learning the basics of creating abd finding it to be tedious I personally wouldnt even think of recreating what someone else did its not worth the effort.I think Vampcat in spite of his claims to the contrary wants the acclaim Two Jeffs gets for his work. :-X

First off, I rarely post anywhere, but I've been a member of all these sites from the start. If I have problems in the game, I quietly search it out and find solutions.
I did post once on VS, a rather profane little ditty, but I was tired of Rentech's attitude, and I was in my cups and pissed. Rentech did not like my post (wry grin).
I've followed all this melodrama with much amusement, the mods of VS holding their breath and stamping their little feet over the CEP...over JM...over anything with which they didn't agree.
Now for my somewhat petty little thought: I filled out that survey on VS, just for the hell of it. I didn't give VS very high ratings in its blatant attempts at "aren't we wonderful and just the best site ever?" questions. In fact, I basically said VS would be the last place I'd turn to for help. (An aside, now that TJ is here, I doubt I'll download from there...Rentech's poly counts on her objects make me fall over laughing).
I got an email from Pam saying I was one of 50 to fill out the survey, send her my address and I'd receive my gift in 5-7 days. I did so (I don't worry about spam in my real mailbox, that's easily handled).
It's been two weeks and nothing. I wonder if it was my crummy rating of VS in the survey? Or that one little post Rentech didn't like? Or laziness?
It isn't that I give a flying rat's ass about a PS2 demo; whether I'd use it as a frisbee for my cats or a coffee cup coaster is irrelevant.
Perhaps Maxis should know they might think twice about hitching their wagon to VS if VS isn't going to follow through.
