So I’m not the best at crafting a proper post, thus I’m just going to randomly type what is on my mind and hope that it flows smoothly.Β  It appears there has been a lot of commotion going on between the readers of this site and staff.Β  I’m not referring to the past post that was removed – this has been going on for some time.Β  I’m usually turning the other way as I am not a fan of drama and really try to stay out of it, but I am going to put an end to it.Β  I’m not going to go into discussion on who was right and who was wrong, rather, I want to discuss what this has been leading up to.

You see, we’re made up of a good size staff.Β  Most in which if they have a few spare minutes of their day, they’ll come on and post a news tidbit.Β  I thank them for that.Β  However, the bulk of the posting has been up to TheBlackScorpion.Β  Now, some folks may not happen to like this, may not like his views on EA or the games – that’s perfectly understandable.Β  We’re all going to have opinions on one another.Β  Some may say that some news stories are not worthy of being published – whether it’s incorrect information or a topic not related to the Sims.Β  I hear you loud and clear on that.Β  Best solution is, feel free to skip the post, or let us know which info is incorrect and we’ll correct it. Like I have stated, we’re a fansite.Β  We’re by no means the best fansite out there – we don’t claim to be.Β  Plenty of awesome Sim sites to check out, hence why we often post links to them and their works.

But jumping back…you see, even if some of you don’t like his posts/comments, TheBlackScorpion has been a huge, huge help on this site.Β  See who does most of the updates these past couple of months?Β  That’d be him.Β  Without him, this site would go downhill fast – very fast.Β  I just can’t keep up anymore….Work has increased since we had layoffs, I picked up new jobs around the workplace so I’ve been training and learning new things.Β  My social life has also picked up a great deal, so I usually don’t find myself on the computer much anymore, thus leaving little time to update.Β  Heck, I don’t even remember the last time I played The Sims 3 – in fact, I can’t even remember when I last played a video game.Β  Been reading about all of the site closures recently?Β  Yeah, I had thought about closing this site…Still thinking about it too…

So all that’s left that I can say is be thankful that he’s around to help post – along with the rest of the staff.Β  You may find his posts to be not up to par with what you expect, but if there is something you see wrong, be a kind folk and please point it out in a non-hostile manner.Β  I would really, really appreciate that.
