Apparently, EA contacted TheSims2.co.za and told them to stop distributing the exclusive bonuses and they have and it looks like more sites (possibly this one) will be contacted soon too.

That's a bummer. At least on this site, when someone has an exclusive item, they could announce it in a post, and then other members could 'pm' them for the download link.  _________________

How about using a "secret" Yahoo group?  |

I might be able to set it up in a way where you need invites to get in here. _________________

Sky, I think that would be a great idea, much like that great P2P site oid, that is now sadly gone thanks to the CRIA.  _________________

I hope thats doesn't happen here I don't wanna blame anyone but i see people on the sims2 forum add name of sites that give out the bonus downloads and they even give out the name od the site that gives all donation object for free which would be paysites must be destoryed. I get mad when they do that because then when maxis reads the forums they see all those sites being listed and thats how they find the sites am not going to lie that how i found out about here. but i have never put the sites name there because i know it could be bad for those who never get the bonues and i don't wanna see this forum go. Sky please do something. _________________

This site merely contains links to the bonuses - it doesn't actually host them (since they're on RapidShare etc). But it doesn't hurt to put some preventive measures in place.
Banning EA's IP addresses may also help too (159.153.*). |

Sky has done something, you now need to be logged in before you can view the forums. We'll see if something more drastic needs to be done.
I'd imagine the worst case scenario would be direct download links would have to be scrapped and instead links to the preorder page with redemption codes posted in the topic. |

Well that would be a bit frustrating, I mean sending private messages with the download link for almost everyone.
