This is a good thread. I agree with everyone and what they have to say. I am a computer geek by profession. I have so many Microsoft certifications I could wallpaper a small office. I know how to get cracks and hacks for almost anything out there. I have been taught by example from my collegues. Yes, most every hack has been compromised and contain viruses. It will cost you so much more to get that virus off your computer than if you just purchased the game in the first place. It may not cost you money. It could cost you the loss of files, pictures, and if you are like me, all my graphic work.

Rockmower has a great idea. Recycle aluminumm cans and bottles. Out here, 6 garden leaf bags of cans yields me about 40-50 dollars and all I had to do is make a special spot and take 2 seconds to crush a can and put it in a bag. It is real easy and it helps the environment too.

As most of you know I have made mods for some of the games here on LDW. My mods are completely new graphics that I have made using various softwares (which I have purchased ) and can say that they are time consuming and take a great deal of thought. You have to consider colors, shading, angles, and size. To make ALL the graphics for one game is quite a bit of work. Then there is the engineering and programming that goes into it. Someone talented (like Arthur) has to program the game. Make the villagers speak when picked up, walk normally from here to there. Pick things up, get colds, kiss... the list goes on and on. Then there is marketing and testing and so much that goes on to make quality games.

Dont steal from this (or any) company. They are actually in business for you. To end my little rant I want to say shame on you [meko2k] for asking such a question and to show such disrespect that you would go to the game makers site to ask that question. Shame on you.

Shame on anyone who downloads hacked and cracked software or gives out information to others to help the vicious cycle continue. Finally I want to thank Robert for catching that SB conversation and making us aware that it happened. Good catch Robert.
