Hmmm, it's also called spam!!! Whether or not the site has anything to do
with what goes on in this newsgroup is irrelevant. Notice that he did not
provide a link to his site at all.
It's okay tho because of all the publicity, his site will probably be down
in a week or two. People just do not understand how much bandwidth a sims
site produces.
Also, being that it is a new site, why is it a paysite?
Probably why people gave him a hard time..............why didn't he just say
it was his site instead of passing it off the way he did?
