The day Builders' 101 entered the Twilight Zone

Dark ,dark day for us. I don't have a clue what happened and what's going on now. I hope the whole thing isn't over now, its become a part of my daily life!

I'm feeling the same way Julia. It's sad. I don't know what happened but I do hope it doesn't ruin any friendships, that everything can be worked out.

I agree. I haven't been doing too good lately and the one thing that gets me out of bed some days is coming to see what everyone is up to. I hope we can keep it going despite this. If someone doesnt want to be involved they don't have to be but those of us who want to keep it going can.

I agree with everyone else here. I am at a loss right now as to how to even respond to today's events. I was looking forward to this place as a new home to get to know everyone better and really hope that we can still keep it going. bergcrys, I'm sorry to hear you're not doing well, you have hugs and good thoughts from me to you. I hope they help!

This site will stay up as long as people want it. If mods and such don't want to come over from Ea... well guess that means you are incharge...you the members can pick mods... you can vote and make it a democracy... you can decide on a name or keep the old one... you can determine the color...let me know what you want and I willl try to create it for you.


Jaded

thank you Jaded for your hard work, your support and all of your help with everything!

Yes you did a good job Jaded! I've got that song running through my head now, "Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends?"

I keep seeing Rodney King...can't we all just get along

I am so sorry there has been such a kerfuluffle, Jaded you have worked so hard on this - it would be a shame if it just fell apart. So guys! We won't let it!

I cannot resist those emoticons! Too cute!

I thinks my only problem is that when I am awake, you are all abed so it is evening for me by the time I gets a reply!

Smokey - I'm UK - Just over the boarder in Wales! I'm usually at work between 9 and 3.30 but after that I'm on and off!

Oh Hi Hted, didn't realise you was so close! How nice! Hows the snow/ice/fog where you are? We rarely get snow, but really that means we can't deal with it.

Well I'm not sure how it all started with the others..I have already explained my feelings in the EA forum..I know one problem can be just the written text in a message..It is sometimes hard to determine the tone meant behind a message..Sometimes when you get a large group together and to many people in charge..there will be some head-butting..and i dont know why..but sometimes i get dragged in to buffer the situation...So no worries my friends..this will blow over sooner than you think.its not the first conflict in the forum since it started..My only hope is we dont lose anyone because of it...My biggest suggestion is stop appointing Mods in the EA forum..its not necessary there..All it takes is asking what the masses feel they need to learn and deciding what and how to teach it..It really can be that simple.

I agree dark .. I said it before and will say it again.. its a matter of people taking words out on context and jumping to conclusions.. its sad... I love 101 sure I don't get along with everyone...but then I don't get along with everyone in my family either... I plan to keep this site up for people who want it and I plan to post on 101 ... I see no problem with using both

I resigned from 101. End of discussion. And I won't be coming back.

Alpha, I'm so sorry you are having a tough time right now. I understand completely. Don't hang out on the thread if it makes you sadder. But we are still your friends, and here if you need us! *big hug

I am sad too. I hope we can all still be friends. I love posting and helping on 101 and I hope we can get back to being one big happy family.

I'm glad to see you Merry! Yes, I'm sure we can all be friends! Or atleast I will be!

Yes Merry! Thats what I hope too. I'll be back to posting an update there soon!

I agree! We are all still a family and after all we've been through together, I think it would take quite a lot to tear us apart now!

I haven't joined this site yet, but most likely will.

I would like to state that I do not hold any hard feelings against anyone, but just cannot convince myself to interact with only one certain person any further. In that case, there is already gas poured out on the floor, just waiting for a spark to ignite it.

I am however, approaching a point where I can no longer discern exactly how much damage has been incurred. I can't seem to know the players without a program anymore, and seem to have misplaced that program.

I did what I deemed to be both necessary, and correct by my standards. I get the distinct impression that some are mad at me for whatever reasons, both real and imaginary.

This has resulted in a progressive withdrawal from my interactions on the forums in general. I am currently quite comfortable with my role on Darkside's new thread, because it allows me to be myself. I am also maintaining "The Sandbox" on a daily basis, because it is my front porch.

Some people are ignoring my posts, some others only agknowledge me indirectly. If I have offended these people, for any reason, let me assure them that it was not intentional, and to extend a sincere apology to them.

The politics and undertones on the EA site are starting to wear me down, and is compounded by not knowing who is, and who isn't liking me these days. As time goes on at this rate, people on the forums will most likely be seeing me a lot less there.

the upside is my Sims will start seeing me a lot more.

X0X1, this is one time I wish I really knew your name because I would like to say that you have helped me, you have amused me and I admire the builds you do. I know that I don't always like your colours but then, we have discussed that and thats my tastes, and they are yours, but please be assured that I for one would miss you if you withdrew too far.

I have always found your posts helpful, funny and usually to the point.

I know there is gas on the floor, flood it with foam!

And please continue to share.

I personally hope you stay around, X0X1, but you already knew that! You are one of my favorite people on the site, and I love your style and all your help and kindness.

XOX1, I also would miss you terribly if you were to leave. I missed you when you left 101, and tried to make it over to the sandbox as often as I could just to say hi. I understand (from my own experience also) about the issues you had, though I am unaware of all the details. From my own personal experiences with things, however, I am completely sympathetic to you and what you must have gone through. There are many things about you and your work that are not my personal style, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate beauty in all its forms. If we were all the same, life would be boring after all. Anyway, I'm rambling on now...just wanted you to know that you are a valuable member of the forums, at least in my opinion!

XO...by now you should know i like you being around...and when i had my fill of the certain someone..i did make reference to that person in my displeasure at the fact you,simtweek and Jaded had left the 101 forum..that and the request from other simmers is the primary reason for starting the new forum...so i am not sure who is amking you feel uncomfortable,but i have my doubts that it is anyone in the core of our happy little family,and if they are,i'm pretty sure its not intentional..i only say this,because for the last couple of months people who have problems do contact me behind the scenes and make their comments and you name has never come up.at least not in any negative way.

ahh hell,that past post is the first time i actually had to see my new age actually in numbers..i know its bday..but damn..thats mean..LMAO
