Some Saturday Wit And Wisdom From Aarin

Posted in Uncategorized on July 24, 2021 by themaresnest

How long a list do you want and do you prefer payments in Bitcoin, Paypal or Nintendo eShop credits?

The next one was more confusing.

Okay, why would you want to fit someone in a fridge.

It’s an American thing.

Over here in Blighty, climb-in fridges are an object of unspeakable evil.

There’s a story about Grace Jones and then boyfriend Dolph Lundgren driving their limousine through the Bronx, but stopping and jumping out when Ms Jones freaked out at seeing an old style fridge with a lock on it dumped in the street (she lived in the Uk for far too long …) and insisted they stopped to remove the door.

Which they did – with their bare hands. Which may explain why no one made an attempt to steal their limo whilst they were distracted …

 

And finally, the most important lesson you will learn this week, month, year and life …

 

Bracknell’s Law Applies When A Site Falls To Sod’s Law

Posted in Uncategorized on July 24, 2021 by themaresnest

Poor little Billie Bumnugget over at Sim Secret claims we never admit we’re wrong. Actually that’s far from the case, as we shall demonstrate.

Yesterday we made a post taking the harebrained mismanagement over at Sim Secret to task, in particular over two points.

First, the duplication of posts because of a lack of basic checks before posting the week’s ‘secrets’.

Second, the problem of LiveJournal spambots – last week to sex websites and camgirls – appearing on Sim Secret‘s comments and not being removed for up to ten hours at a time.

Thirdly, a thinly veiled contempt for the readership by blatantly lying to them about problems, ignoring requests to fix issues such as spambots, whilst being quick to delete other comments at personal whim.

We thought posting regarding these with fifteen minutes to go to Sim Secret‘s self-imposed weekly deadline might – just might – concentrate the pathetic arseturnip’s mind into actually getting their finger out and doing the job they’re expected to do for once … because plumbob knows they’ve clearly demonstrated they care a bigger shit about what we’re saying about this weekly clusterf**k than they care about what their own readership says.

How wrong we were!

Yet again, Billie Bumnugget posted duplicates.

Once the error was pointed out – again – they replaced it dishonestly with a sign saying ‘Repeat Secret’ – as if to give the impression someone had attempted to post the same secret twice, rather than it being down to the owner and admins own failure to spot their own duplication error.

Once again, the spambots were back, and allowed to enjoy an extended life on the Comments section, because little Billie Bumnugget was far too busy with such important Sim Secret tasks as, erm, ranting about us!

(You can imagine how that went down!)

There was some humour to be found in the spambotter in question, based in Iran – how appropriate for a link to a website in Farsi from what’s fast turning into a farce (and one plugging Instagram at that!)

Two million, seven hundred and thirty nine thousand, five hundred and ninety six loves? That’s two million, seven hundred and thirty nine thousand, five hundred and ninety loves more than Sim Secret under the current clownfest will be getting.

As we’ve said before on other matters, instances like this are where Bracknell’s Law applies:

When someone keeps making the same mistakes over and over again, that’s the sign they’re running a place to suit themselves and devil take the hindmost to the readers’ expectations. When they can’t even perform one simple task needing done only once a week without arsing it up every time, things look ominous for Sim Secret in the future.

Anyway, for the benefit of the terminally delusional still wishing to kid themselves on we’re doing this to get ‘hits’ from an arbitrarily run site Billie and her remaining sycophant are running into the floor, here’s Sim Secret‘s importance in the great scheme of things beautifully illustrated:

We get more hits from Peru – never mind South Korea and Indonesia – than we get from all the links Billie’s put up to us ever since she/he/it/xi took over in a desperate quest for attention from us.

And if that doesn’t illustrate to MedleyMisty and others just how little actual traffic Sim Secret receives, what will?

Anyway, after thirty weeks of following the Bore War, we’re drawing a line under it for now – as we said yesterday the whole business has come full circle and if it’s returning right back to its old ways of being a vehicle for petty, vindictive personal vendettas against those they’re jealous of (the MedleyMisty business only confirming what the MustLuvCatz disgrace had shown four weeks ago), then f**k ’em.

We’re trying to encourage people back into Sims 3, reporting this sort of micro-minority moronics by the Simming community’s Walter Mitty section is not likely to help.

P.S. Well, well, well, look what has now appeared!

Rather telling that it is Gothbellagoth having to do all the work on this – and confirmation (if any further were required) that the other admins have downed tools or simply vanished ever since the current drama whoring trainwreck was made Keeper of The Keys and Passwords to the shitshow by her fellow delusional Prah2010.

Please remember that as Sim Secret is an Equal Opportunities employer, successful candidates must change their gender and sexual orientation of each of their online alias at least three times a week, provide self-diagnosis website references to their imagined place on the Autism spectrum (pretending to have an eating disorder whilst living entirely on fast food is an acceptable alternative), and tell the Applications Panel what fantasy creature or robot they most identify with enough to f**k.
