HUZZAH! Banned from Rentech.com!
Inge:
Anyone thinking that links to this site have been purged from VS, here is the pointer to the MATY thread in the Site Links section at VS, where I too have a link to my site in common with several other sites. It seems fairly standard in the community to allow one link per other person's site? MATY on the other hand, has *nowhere* for other sites to post their links. One "censorship" battle point to VS, I think.

The link to MATY has been on VS, yes; it's hardly comparable to the other site-owner links, but that is beside the point.
Censorship is one of the issues that can't be compared with not having a place to post a link to your site. There are several things this site does not have yet, a donation button is one of those things that come to mind. It's only about a month old, although the ever increasing membership, despite JM's detour via the paysite main page, could be misleading.
Censorship would be if JM absolutely forbade any mention or link on his site to any other site, and that just simply is not the case. On the contrary, he keeps telling people to check simlogical (although he calls it Ingelogical, but there are not many here that don't know what that means), MTS2, and VS for fixes and hacks they ask for and that are not his. Censorship would also be if JM would start telling people what they were allowed to say, or telling them to get rid of their avatars. Sure, he's quick to tell you that your avatar stinks, or that your post is the epitome of silliness, but he does not stop you from using the 'stinky' avatar, or stop you from keeping on dwelling on your 'silliness'. That would be censorship. (Note: the 'you' is meant universally and is not implying any particular person).
We all know that JM is not a mesher or web-page designer, he is a premier modder and game-fixer, and he is first one to tell you that. Give him time, like I said, this site is only about one month old.
Personally, I love your stuff, Inge. I woudn't enjoy playing without the teleport shrub, your hiders, your school-tables, your apartment-stuff....your goodies are to many to list. I also love TJ's mods and hacks, and I enjoy playing with Carrigon's mods and hacks. There are also modders and meshers over at MTS2 that I like very much, and I check their contributions regularly, and if I want some easily understandable (for non-modders or non-meshers) advise, I do a quick search for Daysies contributions. There are more then I can list here, but these are the people that immediately come to mind. Even the official board has some good sides to it with contributions from good people, Reg and Kmlough come to mind there. There are direct links to many places on this site, they are just not organized, but JM has not deleted them, nor has he told anyone to stop doing that.

I totally agree with that, veilchen, and would add that links are in any case of most use when included in the thread which deals with your problem - far more convenient than "go to the links page for the link"! I think for sites which are primarily for downloading objects and skins etc., then a page of links is a courtesy to ones' visitors, but in a forum which deals primarily with game-play problems, the visitor will look first for a thread which addresses the issue he/she is having with their game, and if the answer appears to be a fix available at another site then a link in the same post is all you really need.
Inge:
Well that's a great speech, all of it perfectly true about this site - but what about my actual point? Has Rentechd censored her forums so that people can't see links to this site on there, or has she not? I don't mind who it is, which side it is, if I see an untrue statement or misleading comment I am going to chime in. I doubt if she left the link there by mistake, which means she has taken the decision to allow people to find this site in the same forum they find all the other sites - the very place they'd think of looking for a link to a site in fact.
I appreciate your kind comments about my objects, but this is not about who makes the best hacks, it's about fair representation of facts.
ZephyrZodiac:
Can you tell me why Pescado has five red squares for his Reputations - other people appear to have green squares.
