Hi all,
For some time now, SXS has been a bit neglected. You may not realize, but MTS and SXS have only one coder and technical admin capable of making major changes and updates to the site - that's Delphy, our site owner. Between a full-time job, family, and other things taking up his time, SXS has been rather low on the priority list.
The only other active staff member here is me, and all I can really do is poke at the moderation queue, clean up threads, etc. - I don't have the technical knowledge to make improvements.
So, with these things in mind, for the time being, I have set most of the forums here at SXS to read-only mode. This means that the threads and posts are still available (so those of you who have posted movies and stories haven't lost them), but you cannot post any new threads in those areas, or reply to existing threads in those areas.
The only forum removed is the Debate Room, which was not used for debating; if you would like to debate about important current issues, there is a forum for doing so on MTS, under General Discussion. Explicit sexual/adult discussion is not allowed there, but I honestly can't think of many explicit adult debates worth talking about - most topics can be debated there just fine as long as you use a small amount of discretion and common sense.
The areas left open for posting are Downloads and Site Issues. This means that you can still comment on existing downloads, upload new items you have made, and post about problems with your account or glitches on the site. As 99.9% of the users who visited SXS used the site for downloading content, this aspect of the site will remain unchanged.
All content is still in place and nothing has been removed and, again, you can still upload new stuff! I will be trying to keep a closer eye on the queue so items get through faster. If you would like to upload, you are welcome to do so - but please make sure you have read MTS's Creator Guidelines as the requirements are the same here as there in regards to quality, pictures, and images... the only difference is the cocks and tits and whatnot.
We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for your patience and for visiting SXS. We hope to make the much-needed improvements to the site as soon as possible, and will be doing a full revamp and overhaul to make the site much better in future.
Happy simming! :) |

Hi All,
I've finally gotted around to doing some changes here. These are as follows:
- The Lightbox image viewer that is on MTS is now also on here. This provides an easy to use method of viewing pictures.
- A new Help forum section has been added, with subforums for TS2 and TS3. Please put your Adult related game help questions there.
- WCIF has been removed from the Discussions menu
- A new Help menu has been added, which contains all of the FAQs and tutorials that are on MTS, along with the WCIF section
- The Information part of the News menu has been moved to the Site menu
I hope you like the changes. I would also like to ask if everybody here would like to see the "Tabbed" download pages (as seen on MTS) on this site too? Let me know.
Regards,
Delphy |

You might have noticed that Sims 3 downloads are now available here. To get to them you can click on the Sims 3 logo in the little "Switch To" box on the right hand side of the download browser pages. To switch back to TS2, just click on the TS2 logo on the TS3 pages. :) |

Hi All,
You may not be aware, but SXS2 is staffed with all unpaid volunteers. SXS2's staff is not paid for their work except in good feelings and hugs. This is not a job for us, but a hobby.
But because we are all unpaid volunteers means that we also have real lives outside of the site - families, day jobs, school, and other obligations. As much as we would love to spend 24 hours a day working on improving the site, we sometimes need to do other things like eat, sleep, and work, and spend time with our families.
Recently, many of our moderators have needed to spend more time on non-site related stuff like the above. While we still have enough staff to cover the basics like the moderation queue, checking reports, and dealing with issues, there are many other areas that we wish were more fleshed out, but need more warm bodies to help with.
We know that among a user base of so many thousands, with generally around 100-200 users online at any one time, there are probably many intelligent people who spend a lot of time on the site who may have the time and inclination to help out. So, we would like to see who may be available to give us a hand with certain things.
If you are an active member who would like to help on SXS2, please fill out the following questionnaire/application and post your answers as a reply to this thread:
1. How long have you been a member at SXS2? You can check your join date on your profile.
2. How much time do you spend on SXS2, MTS2, S2C, or Sims2Wiki per day? Per week?
3. Where are you located on the globe? Country only is fine - we don't need your home address. ;)
4. What areas of the sites do you frequent the most?
5. What technical skills do you have, if any? Please list anything that may be applicable - this can include Sims 2 modding knowledge, graphics design, HTML/Wikipedia or other wikis/CSS/PHP, or anything like that.
6. What other sites do you frequent, and why? Are you an uploader, affiliated with, or staff for any other Sims 2 sites?
7. What do you think is the main focus and purpose of SXS2? What is this site for?
8. What is your age, gender, and occupation?
9. Boyshorts, thongs, or bikini bottoms?
Posts on this thread which are not questions directly relating to the subject of this thread or answering the questionnaire will be deleted without reply.
If all you do is download and are not really interested in helping, please do not reply to this thread. We are only looking for users who are established members who have skills that would be useful in helping out.
Please note that this is not an "apply to become SXS2 staff" thread! This is for a general helper thing, not staff. Users who are made SXS2 staff are those who have proven through their actions that they are helpful, active, and will fit in well with existing staff. You cannot apply to become SXS2 staff anywhere.
We will review any applications made here and will be contacting those we see as viable candidates shortly to discuss different options on where they would be the most helpful. Thank you! :)
Regards,
Delphy

Hi All,
Today I'd like to cover some ideas for the site, my thoughts, and generally get your input on how you think it's going, and where you want to go.
Historically, SXS2 was split off from MTS2 for the Adult orientated items including classical paintings and things of that nature. We've added some forums here and there, but generally it seems kind of quiet, and I'd like to change that. I know there is a huge amount of people out there either not liking the PG-13 ratings of other sites, or wanting to download quality adult content, or generally play the game how you want it to be played with as many adult related items as you wish.
What I've noticed very recently has been a kind of stagnation in terms of uploads as well as general forum usage. I know that partially this is becuase the Sims 2 as a game is 4 years old, but MTS2 still has an average of 80+ items in it's queue on any given day, and here it just seems to be a heck of a lot less, even though there is obviously a large number of people browsing and generally downloading.
As downloaders, you may have noticed a decrease in the number of available downloads. This is covered in the other site news "My stuff got tagged? Why!".
What I want to concentrate here is not the quality of downloads, but a general feeling on where you want the site to go. What kind of sections do you want to see? Would you prefer it setup more like MTS2? (Which we have started doing) or another way? Which forums get used a lot, and which don't? Are there areas you would like to see expanded? Are there any features you want to see that don't already exist?
I'd like to turn this seeming downturn around and make this one of the premier sites not just for adult content but also for discussion as MTS2 is for the "regular" game and S2C is for "regular" discussion.
So, if you have any thoughts, feelings, comments - please post here. Try and keep them positive - it serves nobodies purpose to say "This site sux! You sux!". After all, you guys and girls are the ones that use the site day to day, so your input is valuable.
Thanks for reading and for using SXS2! I'll try and do my best to reply to any specific comments or questions.
Regards
Delphy |
