Well, it's finally going to happen. EA is shutting down The Sims 2 site.  I'm so saddened by this. You can read about it here: www.ea.com/1/service-updates It's going to shut down on January 14, 2013. I'm really going to miss it. I haven't played TS3, and I really don't have plans to, I'm sticking with TS2. |

I'm actually fairly surprised by how long it's continued to be up, considering we were all freaking out about it...two years ago? A year and a half?
I haven't downloaded anything from there in years, but I will miss the stories. There were many bad ones, of course, but there were also a few great ones, too. (I used to have a link to this guy's page who had hosted a bunch of Exchange stories elsewhere, but I can't remember what the site was called.)
I'm not too sad to see it go at this point, but that's mostly because I haven't much used it much since I came here.

I will always remember it in my heart, but why do they need to shut it down? Is it really that hard to keep up a measly website?

Hmm well this kind of annoys me, but I'm not too upset about it. It was nice looking through the forums and everything, but I'm not going to miss it too much. By the time I even made an account on it, the exchange was already down, so I won't be missing that much either...
But I agree, why do they have to shut it down? From what I heard there was no one maintaining it ever since the shop closed down, so why shut the site down completely now?

Although I don't post alot here... I do a fair amount of lurking and reading. Came over here today to post my condolences for a site I liked ! Kind of sad.
Think I've saved every lot and sim from the exchange that I wanted.
It's nice this site exists ; so we have somewhere to go !!

Hmmm... I will sorta miss the exchange. Although, to be honest, when it comes to the site I wasn't active there until 2010, and by then it was already beginning to go down the pan. I probably won't miss it now as much as I would have last year or that. Plus, this place is great.
It would, however, have been nice if they'd fixed the bugs to make it possible to log in or that so that it was easier to access what's left of simpages and the like. Not that I'm that bothered, seeing as I was embarrassing over there, back in the day.

I'm not really surprised they're shutting it down. It's still a shame though. It even includes the Exchange!

I am going to miss it. I will have download the patches, though, so I can have a backup. I do have the other downloads like some Sims that I downloaded years ago on one of my external hard drives.

It's just a shame that I won't be able to read the old stories on the exchange that I don't think are elsewhere like Echo etc. But let's face it the exchange has been going downhill for a while.... Stupid sims 3 exchange site...

I only just found out about this today! I knew it was going to happen, so it's not really that much of a surprise. It's a shame though, there are so many stories on the site I would love to read once again, but I can't even log in.
Farewell TS2.com, I'll miss you.

Yeah. There were so many great stories on there. It'll be a shame to see them disappear.
