Like the Dutch, I'm always Neutral ;D It's between you and Rentechd, then please leave me out of it.
You don't seem to understand. I have spent 3 years in the Sims community trying to remain fair and neutral and get on with everyone or at least be polite if I can't. You are a member of staff on a site whose owner (Vampire not Rentechd) has told me that a neutral status is not acceptable as far as Variousimmers is concerned. It was seen to be a cover on my part for some form of subversiveness. Out of respect for Vampire's paranoia, I have obliged him and taken an arbitrary position against his site. As a member of staff there you represent that site to me. I don't have anything against you personally in RL, we'd probably get on great, it's what you represent in this context.
As for Pam, she's just a foolish, easily led woman, who's invented a novel non-banned account status, which is actually fairly amusing and has done me no harm at all. I just feel sorry for her being pulled in so many different directions.
virgali:
Inge, really, I understand your point of view and as I said, I respect your dissicion (argh! how do you spell that?! ::)). Still I think it would be a shame to miss you amongst the others and only because of the past incidents. Of course I don't know what you had to put up with, in all these years you've been in the community.
And of course you are intitled to your feelings against anybody who has done you harm or put you in an uncomfrotable position. All I wanted to say is that I am sorry this is getting int he way of what I think would be a nice project. Especially since many here, just read this thread immediately asked about you and Twojeffs. I'm not doing this for any forum owner this is for the people that goes around the community downloading stuff. I know plenty of simplayers who still NEVER used a hack in their game yet. And I often link them to pages and tell them who's who in the community and such things. This would be great for the newbies, especially since there are more and more modders out there offering all kinds of stuff.
Also, for the people who's been around a while, it's always a nice read to get to "know" the modders a bit better and as a refferance to "the good old days". When it all just started. The site I'm working o will have it's own domain and it will feature, hopefully, all the people who helped making the TS2 community so much fun! So you can find all that just in "One" spot.
I know back in the days of TS1 it was huge, still tere is no "reall" central point of refferance for me to see how it was and how did the hype start. It's my hope to provide that for the TS2 community and it's my hope people will like and enjoy the project.
Inge:
And I wish you the best with it. My situation is a little different from some of the others here as I was *personally* asked by the site owner of VS to make it clear what side I was on, therefore my actions need to be fairly obvious or he'll get confused again. Basically on matters pertaining to VS and their "team", I am simply being as childish as I was invited to be :D

Or you could just lose Rentechd, and then you'd probably get Inge's participation.
I don't see what Rentechd has done anyway that's been so important, really, as I didn't even know who she was b4 this whole fiasco, and I've actually been in the sims 2 community since b4 the game even came out.
If made to choose between Inge and Rentechd, I would think Inge would be the more logical choice, no?

She'd be thesimlogical choice! :D
To be honest with you, I'd don't have anything invested in the community. I try to help where I can but I'm such a noob that my efforts are infinitely small compared to what modders like Inge, JM, TwoJeffs and others have contributed. I just started participating in the online community literally days before JM left VS. Didn't know what was going on, only that everyone on the BBS said that JM and TwoJeff's hacks would solve my bug problems.
People are people and things happen and people move on. The problem I have with VS is that IF I were to download something from that site, I have no reliable way to communicate with the modder as Rentechd has demonstrated the tendency to alter and delete threads. I also would have no way of following a modder if he/she decided to move their stuff elsewhere - I would just log on one day, not be able to find there stuff, there would be no post about nor a link to the new site. I'm not going to put something in my game knowing that at some point in the future, I won't be able to contact the modder because someone with a god complex runs the site.
Also, with little squabbles like these, nobody looks good. But, the behaviour from VS members has been consistently bad with many people. If one or two people have a problem, it could be either party. When whole groups of people have a problem, you can be reasonably sure where the problem lies.
I would be infinitely more interested in what Inge has to say than Rentechd. Inge's mods are indispensible to my game. The only thing I ever downloaded of Rentechd's was a buggy gazebo that got deleted after I saw how it acted on my lot.
