Hi guys, I joined a long while back but have decided to have another go at it, may as well while all the software is still here.

Aside from saying hello again I have a friend who made a little website:http://www.barbie.com which basically is a way of getting some more funds for this website I guess. I remember scrambling all money I could raise to get model packs and add-ons, so hopefully it will be a bit of help for some people.

Anyway glad to be back
Thanks

P.S. Ignore my signature if it appears. Completely forgot about having it.

Maybe I don't understand the premise of the site, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this basically having other people pay you only with a middleman? What is the benefit of actually buying the panels? I understand if someone buys your panel you get money, but what is the benefit to the person buying your panel except it goes up in value?

I just now realized I've had a typo in my signature for the past 3 years.

A pyramid scheme where the barbie at the top gets rich, while the barbies at the bottom have to sell themselves on the street to make ends meat, due to losing all their money. Where is the harm in that, I ask you?!?!

Google Ponzi schemes, the man at the top basically takes everybody's cash, and returns half of it to the people who have signed up below him. Everyone is "at the top" of their joining point, scamming everyone below them that they have persuaded to join up.

No goods or services exchange hands, it's fraudulently obtaining cash through immoral means.

I tried to do the hairstyle game but didn't make it before the time ran out. I guess my dreams of being a barbie beautician will never come true.

If you really like Barbie, a permanent redirect can be arranged

BatVink changed the link in the message to barbie.com so it doesn't really need to be locked now. Plus it's got lots of cool barbie games we can play and we all love playing with barbies here even though most of us don't want to admit it.

I remember playing Barbie with my girls, letting them dress her up so I could undress her again... slowly...

Well anyway, a few life-sized cardboard cutouts and years of inflatable therapy later, I'm doing fine. No problems.

It's illegal!? I'm very very sorry about that I did used to be quite a frequent member so I assure you I meant no harm to anyone. I just understood the cost of software for games and stuff so thought I was helping a minority.

Thanks for changing the link, there's me thinking he was on to a good idea too! :p I'll make sure to tell him to be aware of it.

Sorry again for looking like a complete idiot, I hope no one has already used the site. I'll make sure to get them off it if so.
Many apologies
