As ‘lol’ correctly predicted, the new announcement from TSR will be about Wes H. TSR plan to announce that they are adding Wes H ( as staff ) to the development team for Merlin. Tom hopes that this will ‘rock the free community’ in some way.
And to answer your question, the plugins will NOT carry a TOU preventing their use on payfiles.
I have gone about as far as I can dealing with TELIA MOBILE NETWORK SERVICES, in Stockholm, ( and other authorities ) So I can now reveal the reason for the sudden disappearance of my last LJ account. Click on the screencap for full view.
Anyone who I was in contact with through that account need not worry, I delete my inbox and sent messages. The only messages compromised were the last 3 or 4 that I sent out a couple of days before.
I could have easily re opened the account, but I chose not to, as LJ accounts must be easily hackable. The password to that is different from any that I use anywhere else, and was not guessable.
I have been assured that it has been fully investigated although Telia SE has refused to supply the name of the hacker to myself or to the authorities.
TSR NEWS: Watch out for a shocking announcement that TSR hopes will “rock the free community” It probably will.
TSR MERLIN NEWS: Yes – It still contains a keylogger, it may be undetected at present, but I have every confidence it will be discovered.
ATWA ANTICS: She is deep undercover at The Black Pearl, under the name ’sunshine’ This is a secret, so let us hope The Black Pearl never find out 
She also claims to be submitting to MTS under a different name with Delpys blessing. She maintains this is to make a name for herself, so when she comes back to TSR, ‘no one will believe any leaks that it is really her’ This may or may not be true, as the source is Atwa and Atwa is not very truthful.
TSR $$$ NEWS: Did you know that T$R have been fiddling the download numbers? This saved them many $$ and lightened the payload for a lot of unhappy FA’s. It’s also been used to boost some flagging downloads.
Back In February I wrote an article entitled Secrets Lies and Shady Dealings. In the shady dealings section I wrote about the TSR sims 3 tool, to refresh, here is an excerpt from my article..
“TSR is confident that the launch of The Sims 3 will secure its monopoly. EA have allegedly given their blessing for TSR to make it’s own exclusive meshing/CC tools. TSR are hopeful that they will have the tools ready shortly after the launch date and be the first to have such a tool. They plan to make the tool available for FA use only and not sharable with any other creators throughout the community, thus making TSR the only site to offer true CC for TS3, and therefor taking most, if not all, of the market. This is to be kept secret as they know this will piss off not only free creators, but other paysites as well, ( so don’t tell anyone or they may sue you! ) As a site that makes barking mad amounts of money using the tools created by other community members, this is a selfish and greedy move by TSR, but are you really surprised? I am not entirely convinced this is with EA’s full blessing as TSR claim, but EA must have provided them with ’something’ to work with as they say they have made a lot of headway already with this project. Did EA provide the freesite reps attending the camp with the same?”
Since this article TSR has suddenly backtracked on their unpopular plan, and while now admitting they have been working on it all this time, they have suddenly decided to give the tool to everyone for free! But at what cost..
Here is a minor TSR drama I have been following for a while now, I have not published this earlier as I was interested to see how this one panned out without any of those involved using this blog as an excuse for their actions either way.
Welcome to all the new readers who have found their way here after ‘googling’ names and phrases found on TSR’s ’statement’ Listed below are the myths, lies and truths of that statement.
Myth: Pirates just want free stuff
Read their forums, they openly pirate Expansion Packs and they intend to do the same with Sims 3.
ORLY?
I can only comment on the recent events involving the theft of a free creators mesh and TSR’s hacking of of a Mod the Sims 2 user account from what I and my contacts personally know. I can not comment at this stage on evidence I have not seen, nor any evidence that seemingly changes the more Delphy talks to Steve.
Atwa launches a blistering attack on TSR Mods and Staff and asks that people write to Tom and DEMAND her reinstatement as Artist Manager!
Tom, Steve & Co are very fond of bragging how many members they have at TSR, but we have to ask just how many of those members are willing members? We have heard time and time again of people asking to have their accounts deleted only to have been ignored or refused. I know there have been literally hundreds of support issues where people have asked that their accounts be deleted but they all still remain. WHY? If TSR is as popular as they want you ( and EA ) to think, would they really care about a few deleted accounts? In truth it is far more than just a few, if members had the power to delete their own accounts, and if TSR deleted all the banned accounts, their member numbers would paint a very different picture.
Here are some more submitted screencaps, These feature email rants from atwa to another former TSR member discussing a range of things from general trouble stirring to FA pay. These were submitted here by Paleoanth, and originally submitted to her for use in her blog. ( You need to be a member to read. )
