That must have been fun to meet Will Wright. I don't really play the game but my older sister loves it.
New feature... *wonders what it could be*
I guess next time you'll know to listen to SomeGuy! :p
Now as for the last part... considering a comment on the update about new categories... first comment no less I can just guess who got busted for "gaming the site"
I'm sorry you had to waste your time fixing it though. The last thing you need is people giving you even more work to do.

Game the site is easy to figure out guys... usually it means someone cheats the rules in some way to inflate their own statistics or some other means of increasing their status.
Like people creating dummy accounts so they can vote on their own art, that kind of stupid stunts. :p Or they discover a glitch that lets them do the same, only instead of reporting it so it gets fixed, they exploit it and thus "game the site"

Yay! A new feature and I'll be sure to enter that contest later on too... I have tons of contests to enter.. D:_ lol I need to enter at least something in for each one of them ._.
Lol, that chinatown over there must be bad.. xD If you ever come here to California again, I'll be happy to show you a GREAT L.A. chinatown restaurant... my favorite restaurant of all time-- the food is authentic, of course~ They've got some nice restaurants in L.A.'s chinatown ^^
Er... I don't know, what does 'game the site' mean? Like.. play the site as in cheat or something? I don't understand it but it must be pretty serious and stupid of those people.. lol of course

Ooh you actually heard Will Wright speak in person? Amazing man, no doubt he must've sounded brilliant and I can't wait for SIms 3 and Spore. Ugh, the Chinese food was that terrible? Ew, all covered in oil and stuff? Nasty. I live a few blocks away from a decent restaurant over here. Well, most of them are ok over here. Especially this one in Amherst, Massachusetts oh amazing! I mean really good. I had it all for free too. It was part of a field trip to UMASS Amherst and it was so awesome. Huh, like Kimmeh I have no clue what game the site means and I just assume it's bad. Hope that gets resolved soon.
All the Good News is, well.. Good. As for the bad food in Chinatown, I'm sorry to hear that. I hate experiencing a new restaurant and then end up wasting money because the food is crap.
Better luck next time though, right?
And I'm not too sure what you mean by 'game the site', but I at least know it doesn't sound good at all. I hope you get it figured out, though. Shame on members trying to go against you.
Foreign food, especially Asian food, made in America is far from how it is made in their respective country. America is characterized with fatning, greasy food and they dunk that stuff on foreign food to make it "taste better". Chinatown is one of the worst, I would suspect.
OMG! Some people were trying to game the site. That's horrible! They should be dealt with severely. I'm sorry you had to waste your time on members like them.
That goes without saying given the games he's created.
New feature? That's got me interested.
Saw that announcement this morning, still deciding if I should enter or not.
Sounds cool.
The Bad
I think every place has it's "beware of" places to go, I can think of a few around here where I am like that. I would hate to learn that lesson with food though.
The Ugly
Not sure what it means to "game the site", but it sounds serious. Sure is a shame when trust is broken that way.

Hmmm... I just realized something, I've never played a Sims game.
Lets see new feature, contest and checking out a garden. I don't suppose you got pictures of the garden you could share? We have a garden at the University here, it's not big but it is pretty.
Guess next time you'll know better than to ignore SomeGuy's advice.
Now as for the ugly, there are a few interesting things I've noticed on this site and one had a drastic change in the past few days so unless I'm mistaken, I know just what you are referring too.
It's sad when you have to waste your time fixing nonsense like that. So, take a break and do something relaxing and fun, you've earned it.
Trying to game the site? Is that why the portfolio went a bit weird for a few hours yesterday? Thank you for getting it sorted and I hope something like that does happen again. I'm not at all sure what gaming sites means but I did get worried yesterday ~ Shakes head ~ Glad you are dealing with them harshly as well!
Uhh shame about Chinatown, least you tried it though. I always end up trying things myself before I am certain the other person was right. Shame about the bill ~ Glares ~ It's good to know th day had some redeeming features and I am seriously looking forward to the new feature as well, I bet it shall be amazing!
All the best and I hope your Thursday is your best day in SomeGuy country yet!
Ya went to the Sun Yat Sen garden, I take it? Cool, cool . . . y'know the guy is really famous? A guy played him in the second "Once Upon a Time in China" movie and everything!
I'm totally wondering where you went for lunch. 'Cause yeah, those places can be super sketchy if you go to the wrong ones. I'll try to bring you to at least a couple good places in Chinatown some time.
Otherwise, there's always Samurai again.
As for ugly bit . . . I'm just interested in how it all plays out.

Thanks for the clarification... I wonder what kind of trouble was uncovered by Adam, eh?

Hey, Bossman, I think you need to expound on the meaning of "game the site"
The portfolio looks strange, by the way.

And I'm curious what the member's reaction to your counter-measures will be.

Heaven help the restaurant when the main ingredient is the worst part of the meal.
