Anyone Here from the old sims2.ea.com?

I've been following since '05-'06, but I don't think I officially made my account until a decade ago. I don't know why it took me so long, because I kind of regret it, but on the other hand I appreciate and cherish those fond memories for that whole community at that time. Such a simpler time ?. The best thing I loved about that site was obviously the downloadable content, but most importantly the stories. Everyone, even those wo weren't complete nerds, made their own story with some form of creative aspect, whether it was an informational piece, romance, mystery, horror, or whatever else.

I never followed any forums or really any content creators, I just enjoyed the site for what it was. I am, however, jealous that I didn't grasp around the site actually closing down permanently (I wasn't following any SMS, nor did I see/hear anybody talk about it). I figured it was just a temporarily shut down, like it once did in the past, so I never saved any favorite contents (I also didn't know how to storage stuff either). Kinda bummed too because I enjoyed the stories I was potentially going to post in the future. Their in-game story scrapbook was what convinced me to try and write chapters.
