Faded:
That's unfortunate.
It's NOT hard to decrapify, but if someone has been kind enough to do it and post a link, why make people take an extra step, just because someone "feels" like it? I assumed he was above that.

I personally wouldn't have taken it down until Pescado said why. But then, I don't like following goofy rules, just because people go "becoz its baaaad". ::)
Pescado doesn't seem like he'd make up a rule against sharing decrapified files for reasons as childish and arbitrary as "so people won't be lazy". If anything, it could replace all the other Barnacle Bay links and that one simply used as the primary download.
"So people won't be lazy" IS a valid reason. MATY doesn't enable weakness and laziness, but encourages people to be self-sufficient. If people don't like MATY's take on things, they are more than welcome to go elsewhere.

Yeah, you've ASSUMED a lot. Perhaps you should lurk moar.

I wouldn't want to encourage laziness, but sharing is caring. :D
But I definitely agree that if people have things handed to them, they'll never learn for themselves. Decrapifying is almost effortless.

So how many times shall it be said NOT TO SHARE DECRAPPIFIED SIMS3PACKs OVER THE NET?
Is there actually a very good reason for that? Sorry for my idiocy, but could I actually get in trouble for linking people to that?
Here's the quote from Pescado himself:

EXPERIMENTAL "DECRAPIFY" OPTION!
Invoke with "s3rc -fD" (fixonly, decrapify) OR "decrapify" (drag/drop FOR TARDS). Should fix all busted s3packs that don't install correctly in the launcher, like those old TSR ones.
Caveats:
1. Permanently and irreversibly alters the target package/s3pack. Due to the type of damage involved, the game will see the decrapified object as a seperate object from a non-decrapified object. Any saved game that used these objects or skins will be broken as a result, but...
2. If you decrapify objects, you must decrapify all of your SAVED GAMES (.nhd & .packages in your .sims3), PRESETS (userPresets.package), and LIBRARY.
3. DECRAPIFIED saved or exported items containing CRAPIFIED content will malfunction in a non-decrapified install.
4. THIS PROCEDURE IS EXPERIMENTAL!
5. decrapify exe requires s3rc exe to be accessible on path.
THEREFORE:
Do not share decrapified packages, only share original unmodified packages.
I'm sure he had a reason to say that. And it's in red, so it's probably important. So that's where the "Do not share decrapified files" thing comes from.
OmegaStarr:
have you read any posts by Pescado? If you have then you know that he would do that just for the sake of doing it. LOL. but I did find this

NEW UPDATE
Can now compress and decompress Sims3Packs directly.

"decrapify" not available for Linux, because Linux users are not stupid enough to need it and can just use -fD by hand.
I personally don't understand why you shouldn't, but then again I don't care, I know how to decrap.
