Quoted from a certain other place...
Paysites have thier place in the community right now - they have done for years.
The last little droplets of respect I had for the author of this particular piece of nonsense have finally evaporated. In no other moddable gaming community that I am aware of is content available on a 'pay-to-download' basis (although a certain Morrowind site has recently introduced a 'beg-to-run-it' ideaology, which kind of makes me want to find a bucket).
People should run hosting sites because they enjoy it, not to make money off the back of it. I'm disgusted that EA/Maxis continue to allow this practice. Any other decent community would have shot sites such as TSR down in flames long ago.
