What a copy cat!! :( :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, someone posted my contest on their forums and look what happened.. http://thesims2resource.com/main/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=394

How nice is he? :rolleyes:

see attached :rolleyes:

O well..no worries here. Honestly I wonder how he can afford $250.00 worth of Sims 2 games. He's just 13 :D

lol, good point.. maybe just like getting that demo? :p

[mattho]

I really dislike the Sims2Resource... not just because they copied the competition... But I've always found the webmaster there to be really arrogant and "hey I'M THE SOURCE for information".

[golfbunny]

Well...
Clearly he's just copying the competition to make up for his lack of imagination in a desperate bid to get members to his site. If he has to resort to this to get members I dont think you should even bother going to his site, People join sites for originality / good design / strong friendly user base. Not because he copied a competition from another site and pasted it on his forums.

Ooooo, wow. What an original idea they stole! Giving away a copy of a game in a competition! No one has ever thought of that one before!

(I hope there is more evidence that you are basing your accusation on...other than the one day thing...)

[simsamgrl16]

[simsamgrl16]

Drugs. ;)

As for the picture of that admin terminating the account of that one person.. what an idiot. What "plot"? That punk seems to be rather power hungry.

What a moron.

[ManagerJosh]

It just occured to me... did anyone notice this sentance?

The Sims 2 Resource takes no responsibility for copies of the game lost in the mail or the late arrival of TS2 after release date.

I'm thinking here he is gonna select winners and claim to ship them...and when they never arrive to the winners, he is going to blame the mail service that they lost it. :rolleyes:

[SolidSnake_19]

From what I've heard so far it does sound like something they would do.

[ManagerJosh]

Oh James, the reason it was copied because that post with N/A (see attached)...well it was posted first on his forums...then the post was deleted and he posted up his contest.

[lilfaeriegirl078]

man thats a bunch of money to be spending. what if hes just BSing?

[mattho]

That's what we're thinking, lilfaeriegirl ;)

[ManagerJosh]

Who knows really. My sources says that he's claiming his parents won a 22,000.00 Austrailian Dollar Prize of some sort.

[mattho]

I find it odd that his parents would go out of their way to use the money that THEY won to finance his online dealings...

[simsamgrl16]

i think hez gonna pretend to ship them out to the winners and say that those people lossed it in the mail or sumtin!he can be charged for that cant he?

[SeeMe23]

I agree with simsamgrl. That he's going to say the mail lost it.:mad: And I think he could be charged for that but I really dunno.:confused:

[FaeLuna]

That was last year, so I'm not sure if anyone knows what happened.

[Supernova]

Ummm... Some mederator should probably shut this thread down or something. I mean, its dead. For almost a year.

[SolidSnake_19]

Yeah. I was planning on closing this if it got another reply, which it did. ;)
This would be one of the threads I don't think needs a revival anyways. :p
