Been a while....

[LEXX]

Yough Bear, I was not referring to the "official" Simhq stance, but the "in the street" community stance, as Simhq members didn't buckle under from the anti-mod bullying which was allowed to happen by the Simhq moderators. I think for two reasons....(1) the "street" Simhq community has a higher proportion of Offline players, and (2) is a higher form of life in general -- lacking a better term -- and they generally found refuge there from the Romper Room at ubi.com.

Failure to moderate snotty behavior forced Oleg out of ubi.com, even if that behavior was not related to modding. The ubi.com forum was left unmoderated since the start, at least back as far as the Trim Wars and RBJ and all the snotty insults against customers asking Oleg for functional trim controls. You remember...these customers were accused of; take a guess...

...wanting to cheat online.

That basic snotty behavior in general is why Oleg found a new home in the somewhat more polite, and more Offline oriented, and more hack-mod friendly, Simhq community. Strange but true. Life works that way sometimes.
