Subject description: cuz I know you are fuming about it and you wanna know		  
This is a rough draft, but I am putting this here for now, because I have seen it come up yet again on another site.

The number 1 main reason is because I want to make it harder for kids to gain access to our Adult Content. If the files are free, it is very easy for kids to join up and lie about their age and download any of the adult files to their heart's content. If we have those files in a restricted area where they have to pay to get them, then they probably won't do that, because they don't have a Credit card.

The other reason is because I can't afford to pay for the monthly bandwidth fees and because of the adult content on the site, I can't accept donations thru Paypal (have tried that before, and Paypal shut down 3 of my accounts), and we can't use Paid Advertising.

Besides, I don't want make the content free because then we go back to reason #1.

You can view all screenshots of what we have for Exclusive Content, so you will never have to subscribe without knowing what you are getting.

I leave it up to my creators to decide whether or not they want their content to be free or Exclusive.

If you are wondering why our some of our Sims 1 creations and animations are free, that is because they were either created by someone who wanted them to be free, or they were a part of the site before we decided to have an Exclusive section. But any content that I myself make from here on in which is deemed "Adult in Nature" will only be available to Exclusive Members. If any of the other creators decide tjhat they want their content to be free, then that is their choice.

As for the other Adult Sites out there that are free, they have some aweome stuff, but it is their decision to make it so easily accessible to children.

That is my 2 cents on the subject. Feel free to comment on this in the WTF area , as I don't want any of this hashed out in the announcements area.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for contacting me and informing me. We do try our hardest to keep minors out of the site, and I appreciate the fact that you as his parent did follow thought with. I will delete the account and ban the email address.

IT is for this reason that most of my adult content is for paying members only......and we do have a hard time trying to convince other members of the community that this is our way of trying to keep the adult content out of their hands....meanwhile these other people are taking our files and handing them out to everyone for free.

Thank you for your prompt response!

Without a webcam and a DNA sample from each person who enters your site (now wouldn't that be a nightmare...), it's impossible to know who is accessing it. By requiring a paid membership, you've made it that much harder for kids to access. We as parents are responsible for making sure that our kids are not accessing content inappropriate for their age.

Thank you for deleting the account/banning the e-mail address.

It's unfortunate that some people take advantage of the files you provide and hand them out, without regard for who might be accessing them. Not to mention the cost associated with running a website. These people don't understand that there would be no files if no one paid for the service.

Thanks again. I must go now. I have a lecture to give... >: >



Now...if anyone would care to comment on this.....I would love to hear about in the WTF section of the forum. Thank you.
