Also, anyone who is a member of any other forums can post a link to here.
That is most fortunately true, especially since MTS2 also has a link to JM's new site. It does however, not take away from the fact that VS was the most recent site where JM had his residence, and many forums still have VS's address listed as the place to find JM. It takes a little time for everyone to catch up, meanwhile people have to search around. To act like this is immature and petty. I will continue to visit, mostly to check TJ and Carrigon's forums, but I am done posting in the discussion forums. I tried it and the result was awful.
Envy is not a pretty thing at all, and people would be wise to realize that JM is the premier modder, and that he has helped many people. My game would reside on a shelf gathering dust if it wasn't for his talent.. I've been following him around since the early days of MTS2 (heck, Ahob was still a 'player' then, so its been a while :D) and I will continue to do so until I get sick and tired of the sims.

Can someone fill me in and describe to me what was this so-called questionable avatar?
Although things had already started to deteriorate before this, the avatar thing brought it out into the open for all to see. Since it is a public forum and still available for reading, here's were the gist of it all is: The VariousSimmers web-site, Vampires forum under F**king Mod the Sims2, page 2, around post # 40. That's around about where it starts and it goes steadily downhill from there.
Freoninferno's original, cute avatar is still viewable on the MTS2 site. I guess you were lucky that the watchdogs never caught on to your avatar :D

I love a fantabulously ridiculous heated controversy and juicy delightfully delicious gossip! ;D Please enlighten me! As I missed all of the wonderfully exciting drama! This sounds almost better than Desperate Housewives, and that's nearly impossible to top right now. :D

I posted this explanation in another thread: (Note it mentions you :))
It was the shot in the game where one Sim is about to jump onto the Sim on the couch during the make-out session. All you could see of the 'jumpee' was lower legs/feet and the jumper was completely clothed. I still don't get it. Syberspunk's avatar (which I think is hot, btw..lol) is a picture of two guys in bed kissing, not Sims, people. No problem with that one, though. Since R**tech never did explain her 'reasoning', I suppose we'll never know. Supposedly 7 people (out of about 600 registered users at the time) complained.

Hi Reg.
To briefly hi-jack this thread, I found your story and it cracks me up. "Do I know you? Do you live here?" Priceless.
Reminds of JM's mantra: "Who are you? Do I know you? Do I like you?" Great houses and now funny stories. Your repertoire seems never ending.
Back to avatars and bans. How come you changed yours? Did the 'mascot protection league' get on your case. Not that there is anything wrong with the new one, its a very nice looking dog. ;D

The best way I ever heard this put is, "The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."
(For those who don't know, the Internet was designed as a communications system that would survive a nuclear war. You can destroy any part of it and the messages will still get through, by routing a different way.)

Yes, one of the few times the military came up with something actually useful for the civilians (sorry Hook...not dissing tanks or the military, honest; I''m really talking out of the side of my mouth here :P)
But this is very well put, I shall write it down and use it.
