[Force10]

So this is what it's come to eh Blackdog? Be-littling gamers because they wan't a sim to work instead of becoming a developer themselves? I don't know about others, but I work for a living and barely have time to actually play my sims let alone learn C# scripting or start poking around for work arounds.

For the people that have done this....I applaud them for taking the time to try and find workarounds for this mess...but time isn't a luxury all of us have. If 1C was up front and marketed this as a "buy in Beta program" then you might have a better point. Telling us to be good little lemmings and just take it in the shorts for the $50 to $70 isn't gonna fly with everyone. People are frustrated...and have every right to be IMO.

Thank God that you find time in your busy schedule for your several daily postings here and at SimHateQ!

SimHateQ? I do not post there but I read there and find some good tips and materials in the main forum, which is not negative at all. They are created a subforum for the haters called 'extended' discussions, which I never visit, and the moderators are good to move all hate threads to there.

So I think SimHQ is very safe to visit.

They call it Extended Discussions, but you are only allowed to post in there if you hate CoD. SimHQ decided to be the cesspit where they dredge up the haters rightfully banned from this forum. Sad development for a site that used to be worthwhile to visit.

I agree with Frey. It might be considered a better development if it were a sealed section for hater members only but then I guess they would get bored of it pretty quickly because they wouldn't have anyone to troll. LoL

I don't see it like that, I see it that people post negative comments because they keep getting told the same things week in and week out. We get told they have fixed a major bug (last week it was 5 mins ago) and all the rest of the work has been carried out, but then the following week it never ever seems to go well and we are back to square one not Knowing what has happened. Nobody from the team makes any announcement about what has happened and people start to think they are just been taken for a ride. I have said it before and i'll say it till I am blue in the face, don't keep saying you are trying to push out a patch each week until you know for certain it works. Then you can tell everyone when you are going to release it - SIMPLES!!

Im not a "hater" and i dont think anyone else is, here or at SimHQ. SimHQ extended discussions is a place where you can speak your mind openly without fear of being banned if you are unhappy with the state of CLOD. The discussions there while heated sometimes are friendly and without malice.

Chivas and myself have being "discussing" CLOD for well over a year with out either of us resorting to attacks, abuse or any bans.

And Frey, you were banned for personal attacks in the forum you said you would never visit but couldn't help but attack people. Since then the forum is friendly and with out problems.

Worrying though is a Mod labeling some forum members "haters and trolls". I thought mods were superposed to be unbiased, how can we be sure of fair and unbiased moderation on this forum with comments like that?

Just to clarify Frey....You think SimHQ is a cesspit because any controversial posts about CLOD is confined to one tiny sub-forum? Just about every thread here boils down to the same back and forth and this is your paradise? I guess we can all make up our minds on why you think that way.
