Sims 2 Bon Voyage Bugs and SecurROM Flame-O-Rama [BV patch download at risk]

Why don't those of you with issues just tell Sam of your concerns, give reasons why you won't send analysis reports? Okay, might be a waste of time, but doesn't hurt to try.
While that is a sound, logical suggestion, unfortunately several people have tried it, and EA is ignoring them to the extreme. Since so many people have already uninstalled SecuROM (often at a cost, since they hired professionals, or reformatted their entire hard drives) they are completely unwilling to reinstall BV just to give them some file that may or may not contain information that is private. Several others refuse to comply because they want a method of discerning what's inside the files first, and even if they *could* read what was inside these mystery files, they are stating that they would refuse to reinstall BV after going through the pain and cost of removing it. Who can blame them? EA has no intention of replacing our games, let alone reimbursing us the cost of repairs.
All of these concerns are being posted in MaxoidSam's thread, but they've so far been ignored, other than a couple of attempts by Sam to convince people their's nothing secret inside the files; but he and the others don't even know what's in there - they had to contact Sony to find out. Heck, even Satan (Microsoft) asks us if it's okay to upload the error files before doing it, and we can examine the file because it's readable in even the most basic word processors.
I also think it's interesting how when anyone posts important *facts*, not merely opinions, they also go unnoticed (or get deleted/banned). However, I would recommend that anyone and everyone that owns Sims head over to the BBS and post at least once, because apparently THAT is how they are making their retarded "official" count of people with problems (number of posters, not number of posts). This kind of count obviously doesn't include the number of people that aren't aware of the problem, fixed it already not realizing it was related to BV, simply don't care to post on the BBS, or possibly don't even know about the BBS. Believe it or not, I was the latter - never realized there was an official BBS. Hell, I've hardly ever visted that lame website other than for patches anyway. And why bother? Other sites like InSim and MATY are 1000x better, more informative, more interactive, and, as Teren Rox put it, people over here aren't stupid.
Captain_Shepard:
100% right.
There's already lots of people who wasted precious time on contacting the SimMaster and didn't get much out of it, and right now it's imposible since you can't complain because you get banned, if you critisize them as I did and say the hard truth you get banned , if you comment about this the analysis file it may be considered trolling.
As for the patches, I'd prefer a fan made patch then a EAxis patch.
Sam the T-man:
I didn't know about that :-/ @Teren: Sam's not a SM, he's a Maxoid. Big difference; he's one of the people behind the game, whereas the SMs aren't. The SMs are nothing but moderators, while the Maxoids are the people you should (in theory) be able to approach with game issues. It's disturbing that the Maxoids are ignoring so many people who have these issues, and trying to pass them off as either small or non-existent.
I don't generally visit the BBS either; every time I've visited a link to that place I'm reminded why I stay away. Here's much nicer, and home to more intelligent people :)
Captain_Shepard:
Ups sorry for my mistake Sadie79 :P
I forgot there was Maxoids xD
Sam the T-man:
Just making sure you direct your anger at the right people ;)
