Journalism 101, for those of you who didn’t understand what I was getting at my first post:

This story didn’t responsibly “report news” about the existance of a bot. Instead, it listed everything that this bot could do and then helpfully provided a link to it. It gave no other “news” about it whatsoever. No one in the game was interviewed to find out what they thought about it. It merely extolled the virtues of the bot and told us where to go to buy it.

Consider these two fictitious stories:

Matty .. The more people that see this bot, the more copies will be sold, so as long as Uri has it posted here so everyone that visits his “newspaper”/blog will go there, and most likley get interested in it.

You all have no lifes get over it! If you did you wouldn’t care! And stop this shit about Uri this is all for fun nothing else. And I bet half the people who read this eather sell money or bought it ebay anyways. Its not Uri who is ruining the game its the people who buy and support the site thats sells the bots and fake money! You can consider yourselfs the ones who ruin the game.So Drop It!!!!Freaken get a life all of you!!!

Your mack daddy!

Uri, Jeeze… Should you be working.. Like teaching a class or something.. instead of sitting here talking about a online game? Man, I wonder what your superiors would think if they found out you play a childrens game and you hit on 19 yr olds that are probably 50 year old pedophiles sitting behind their computers waiting for someone to start talking to them.

Uri, Get a life, A real one.

A boycott of the AVH? OMG, what ever will we do without all the BIG BUCKS that we get from our subscriptions and advertisers. Oh wait, we don’t have subscriptions and advertisers? NVM.

First, anyone who thinks that Uri and this “newspaper” are someone ruining TSO by reporting on cheat programs is delusional. If you really are against the cheat programs then go after the guy who designed GIR and the people who use it. The Herald simply reports the news. It would be like saying that a newspaper that reports crime is somehow proliferating it. Ridiculous! People are going to cheat regardless of what the Herald reports about.

Second, the guy that posted about the boycott needs to get a clue. More than half of the people in TSO don’t even know what the Herald is, let alone really care about it. Even when you tell them, they’ll defend freedom of the press. After all, it is a website that Uri owns and pays for, I’m sure. Finally, by going around Alphaville and blabbing about this, you are sure to attract more people to the site which would be detrimental to your cause.

Bottom line: Cheaters will still cheat regardless of what the Alphaville Herald posts. Get over it.

Grassroots effort takes off to get the sims of Alphaville to boycott the AV Herald.

Sims in Alphaville TSO are banding together to fight against the Herald’s assistance in the proliferation of cheats/exploits. A new sim named Harold Boy Cotton, resident of AV, goes from lot to lot announcing that he believes that news about a new exploit would be fine, but a link and encouragement to download and use a cheat isn’t news at all. “Right and wrong are fixed, and cheating is wrong.” Said Mr. Cotton, he went on to say, “I couldn’t believe it when there were even testimonials on how well the cheat works! Shame on Uri, and his staff.” Mr. Cotton believes that the Herald’s staff is sure to believe that he is really one of the many “scammers” who are ranted about in the paper but Mr. Cotton claimes to just be a normal everyday sim out of Blazing Falls who would on occasion read the AV Herald. Mr. Cotton encourages sims to “go and see for yourself, and then never return”.

Uri – there you go with denouncing and putting down others opinions. And if you’re going to bring it other shit that had nothing to with this article, such as posting our Yahoo Conversation. Let me say this, you were hitting on TWO 19 year olds last night in TSO. Uri as much as I LIKED you, you have turned out to be:
(i) an asshole
(ii) an old man who hits on younger women
(iii) A prick
(iiii) You’re sarcasm, has made people you are HATEFUL.

Uri – plain and simple, drop the sarcasm and become the old Uri again
