There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Really has been scaring me all the FS sites going down or even getting tampered with. There is a long list of FS sites in just the past few months.
http://simflight.com/
Miguel has posted the fact that it was down for maintenance on the simFlight front page - at http://simflight.com/2009/07/07/simmarket-in-maintenance-mode/ to be precise.
Paranoia much?

Paranoia indeed.......
SimMarket sends out emails like before. There IS an increasing tendency however, no doubt also fueled by paranoia, to block emails, or ask manual verification before receiving them.
In addition however, you can ALWAYS see your purchases AND all your registration keys, by just going to your account on simMarket and LOOK! So even if you block the e-mails, you can still use the stuff you bought. Nothing mysterious about all that ;-)

I think the point is that simMarket was down, preventing people doing that, Francois... However, I am intrigued to know how you bought it, if you then couldn't access the code, gera?
Look this is what they do...here is a copy of their e-mail...

So you see, if you don´t copy the key after the purchase, in this case I din´t, then with their e-mail you jump to it and retreive it.....So!!! that´s what I did and
their page sent a 404 or 599 or 676 or whatever....that´s why I asked........ " I buy most of my addons from them which in the last year is quite a bit of EU Muuuuuuuuuuuula!!!!!! so if they have any sweat with my business I´ll shift like an iceberg!!!!
Note: Before you use to get the key in the E-mail...that´s the change......I guess like in the US, everyone is making " Changes"!!!!even in Honduras!!!!!!
hahahaha, you were not in their "test bed" or were not considered for "The Change"!!! hahahahah....I just sent you a copy of their E-Mail Amigo...
I need some wine or at least a cold beer!!!!!
.Oh maybe they started this procedure day before yesterday!!!!!..hummmmm, ummmmm, ummmmmm---or maybe they are doing it only for "Train Stuff" which is what I ordered...big fat half Gig file....ummmm, ummmmmm
I do wonder whether it is determined by payment method or the exact product - particularly if a code is required from a third party, in which case simMarket itself might not distribute it?
I just checked a horde of simMarket e-mails (I have enough of them!!!) and all mine had product codes on when they were necessary.
I dunno, but Francois is on the thread and he might!

Wanna bet too?:greenf: and yes I LOOK!!!!!
I always LOOK!!!!!.
Honest answer? I really don't see a problem.
I made a statement that all the purchases I have made recently that have required codes (not all do) have had them listed on the e-mail I received when I made the purchase. Actually, having gone through all of the ones so far this year, one hasn't - FSPassengersX.
As I said before, it's probably product (or developer?) specific rather than user specific so there's no need to get your knickers in a twist - I believe you that you don't have the codes. I'm just saying that it's not a "change of policy", more likely just that what you've bought doesn't work with that part of the system.
I really don't see a problem here I'm afraid... and I'm off to bed to prove it.
G'night!
