In fact, they even enjoy smileys and I believe have a 'bene' system, which is probably what you were thinking of when you clicked the 'Thanks' in error. Fucking sheeple.
Actually, I don't frequent the BBS, but I do read some of the illiterate nonsense. I'm not quite as low as responding to it, though. That didn't really have anything to do with accidentally pressing the 'Thanks' button. It is right next to the quote button, and it's not a hard mistake to make.
I think I get what you're saying. Essentially I'm too "nice" to be here. I could go over the FAQ again if that would make you happy. However, being "nice" didn't have anything to do with "sticking out" so much as it had to do with trying to not make enemies. I GET NOW that it is the polar opposite around here.
With that said, I guess it's time to go back and lurk for four more years. But don't worry, when I encounter you again, I promise I won't be nice.
I tremble in an-tic-i-PA-tion.
But MAYBE THE RAIN... is really to blame.

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?
There is a very good reason. If the decrappify program needs to be updated! for what ever reason (i.e. ongoing development.) It is unlikely that files put through a previous version would work - even after being decrappified again. You would need the base file.
Noobs, who had used a decrapped file, would then flood the forums with lots of whinny posts - "I'm a noob, please help me etc. Awesome does not work etc."
So do not post links to decrapped files.
EDIT: If you had searched MOAR you would know this.

I dont think that is much of issue, if it worked then it worked ... its not going to stop working unless the Launcher is changed again and then everything will stop working.
The main problem is people that had previous store content done "the old way" and have lost it due to the Launcher upgrade and if they decrappify they might run into issues with saved games so they must be aware of the steps to take, also people might confuse decrappified versions with the untouched one and use it for the .package extraction method.
Besides it does teaches people to be a bit responsible for what they put in their own system as they have to make the extra step instead of going on a download spree ... not that it really helps because I already seen people giving wrong information.

You know, it would HELP if people did not try to pass incorrect information, chances of decrappify Store content screw up things like core game mechanics seem to be little to none because as far as I know nobody reported such critical failure, I think it MIGHT screw up Sims and lots were previous store content was lost and replaced by decrappified content but then again its not as failsafes are not installed in the game to prevent that from happening since TS2 (as they did happened in TS1)
The reason I dont like decrappified content being share is simple, people would NOT share the original versions but the decrappified ones, I have no problem with people sharing decrappified versions as long the original version is/was made available and its clearly labeled as such ... if someone wants to try those, they could go right ahead as its not MY job to protect people from risks and guess want? even if we tell then "decrappify on your own" they can still fuck it up AND then complain about it.
