Who here have already explored The Sims 3 BBS yet? I have. I have a siggy, avatar and everything It turns out you can message people; forum.thesims3.com/jforum/pm/sendTo/5636.page but I don't know where the person found the link. I saw it on someones siggy and thought... OOH! I'm going to explore the site to find out where, but it is in the forum area, regarding the word forum in the link name. Does anyone else know where it is?

I guy named Lawertend (i think) found it. He has a thread in General or whatever category that is with instructions on it.

But after Lawertend figured it out, the SimGurus disabled PM for everybody.

Yeah, I know. Ugh, that sucks. But I guess it's more of a reason to join a forum like this

Grr, why would they get rid of it? They could make it like this: You can only pm people who are your friends, and they could make Gbs available to anyone. And they could have report buttons next to the messages you recieve. Grr.

They really disabled it because some guy found the url?? That's soo lame! I definitely agree with your suggestion, Rainy. The whole leak .. just kind of happened. I should have known we'd get in trouble some how.

Me too! I liked your suggestion too, Rainyy. That's what I first thought how their PM feature was going to work. You can only PM friends. The reason why guestbooks let anybody post was probably because you only get 1 message per person, unless you delete.

Hi, I'm new to Simmers Lounge, just joined today. And this is the reason why.
I'm getting tired of the official Sims 3 forum. Posts are being deleted with no explaination given, people are being banned or warned with no explaination given. I was banned for 72 hours and still have no clue why.
We cannot message other members or even post a personal thread to them because it gets deleted.
How are you supposed to communicate with other Simmers that way?
Ugh, i'm sorry, I just had to rant. I find it utterly ridiculous!
Anyway, I'm glad I found this place, via the Asylum Challenge thread.
Happy Simming everyone.

I didn't even give the Sims 3 BBS a chance. I mean why even try? for the mot part, it is still the same, annoying Simmers from the old BBS, and we have no way of communicating with Single people. I mean how are we supposed to tell another person "I really liked your story! I wish you would continue it!" or how are you supposed to know if there are other people reading YOUR stories? I mean it is just stupid. I'm happy with these, smaller forums, where you have many options to talk to a person.

It's like dictatorship. I thought that BBS was a "community". Turns out I was wrong. The SimGurus should change the header community to dictatorship. We always have fansites to communicate. They're better and have off topic sections.

As PlyPlay said, these smaller forums are much nicer, lol. Welcome to the forum by the way, hope you enjoy it here. Hmm, I think I saw you around a couple of times, and with your awesome Slinky siggy.

Welcome to the forum Slinky. I agree with the TS3 forum - I like to go there if I need replies quickly, but I rarely ever reply to or create discussion topics.

Thanks for the welcome.
Well, I've been banned, er, no, I correct that... Suspended, from the Sims 3 forums. They didn't even give me a time frame until when I can go back.
My only think as to why is because of an off topic chat that was going on between a few of the forum regulars.
Ugh, I'm really starting to hate their forum.

Or was it that one... Ugh, there was too many off-topic chats for me to remember.

The chat in question was about pasta. It was between me and about 8 other posters. We actually took over a thread by koolmoecee (who I cannot stand!!). So, that could be why. Though, i'm not sure if any of them that were also involved were banned. I can't tell. Though, I have been lurking on that board and haven't seen any of them posting. SO maybe we all got suspended.
