Wow!! Another note I missed reading by being involved in dynasty play. (note to self, keep up with your well loved forum!). Can't believe I've been here five of the six years this has been going on. Let's see, started with Sims2 and found MTS was ok but never really did much forum wise there. Got bored with Sims2 and vowed to never play Sims again and then TS3 came out. I was baffled by all the new stuff and in frustration sought help online. What I found was angry, rude, offensive places that were hard to navigate and not worth being on and then.......!!! I found you!! Angry, rude and offensive NOT allowed. Friendly and informative the rule of the day. Since then and because of this forum Sims has been my passion. It is also my source for friends. I'm housebound due to Chronic Fatigue and never was very social to begin with so here is where I find my friends from all over the world!! I love seeing all the familiar faces and the new ones too. The first thing I do in the morning is turn on the forum. The last thing I do before sleep, (and my prayers), is check in on the forum and think good night thoughts to all here. I hope it lasts through each and every Sims that ever will be and then some. Thank you so much for doing it Carl.
