The Sims 3 didn't die the day EA switched it to a legacy title.

The Sims 3 will die the day Nraas Wikispaces will be shut down.

It is known.

Damn, some people are so rude about this. Least they could've done is make a thread about it or something. Or maybe sticky a big banner to the top of their Wikispaces. Oh if only.

I'm actually glad that @TwistedSmiley posted the link, in case anyone needed it and didn't realize the Class Clown trait got liberally redistributed this morning.

Yea! Redirect works!
Boo! Login doesn't work!
Yea!! Mod updater works perfectly!
Looked all over the New www.nraas.net site... I don't see a new class clown trait.

Sims are better than us.

Logins do not work on the new site yet. Today, and possibly tomorrow or even the next, are not really the days to be checking us out as what is left of our Wikispaces site is still being transitioned to the new one and some of the pages on the new site don't look right yet. The redirects triggered the transition of many DDoS attacks that were originally directed at Wikispaces and we weren't really prepared to cope with fending off all that unwanted traffic right away. It's all being worked out, though.

The Mod Updater tool will cease to function when the wiki shuts down completely around 8-12 hours from now, we have no control over that. Its programming is entirely Wikispaces based and after today the files just won't be there anymore. We will be looking into updating/redoing the tool at a later time.

I'm assuming when the site is done, for the general sims community. Someone from Nraas will post something about it here, and the original wikispaces will have a re-direct link? Only asking since the anticipation of the new site is what is getting me through this semester of school.

Yes, but it's those very redirects already in place for many of the pages that brought us the DDOS attacks of unexpected severity. This will all be worked out soon enough, then we have a lot of work to do to make the new site more user-friendly as the wikitext conversions made a mess of many popular pages.

Let's just say that the "travel transition" is not going as smoothly as it otherwise might, but all will be fine in the end.

Probably. I mean, we all are just at different rates. Haven't we covered this sufficiently already?

We're all dying as well. Slowly. After you fill up your first diaper, it's all downhill.

Okay, but how do we handle selective selective senility? Some people are very particular about when they feel like being a pain in the ass. I for one, sometimes I have "yeah sure let me help you with that" days and sometimes I have "shut the fuck up" days.

Yes, very nice. I might try a lighter shade- do you think blonde would look okay with PVC?

But seriously what happened to Wikispaces and why did they decide to close down the whole website for good?

Apparently, it was costing Wikispaces more to host the individual sites than they were getting in revenue.

That may well be true, but it's not exactly the way the parent company tells it. Wikispaces has been sold/changed hands a couple of times. The current owners recognized that the technology it runs on is what powered the Mayflower in 1620 (or something like that) and it would not be cost-effective to even try to update things. I don't know why they would have purchased a commodity that they didn't want except to speculate there must have been something else bundled in or they inherited it somehow.

Along the way they did manage to alienate what was once a loyal customer base by not maintaining the system well at all and quadrupling the regularly occurring charges for wikis in the higher than free/classroom categories so it is possible they didn't have enough higher paying customers left to support the whole endeavor. We had plans in place to jump ship on our own time without the deadline imposed, that just sped things up a bit.
