Damn, I never heard of the death threats.

Maysims is a special kind of pain in the ass; most of their content is chopped up TS2/TS3 CC which isn't exactly uber exclusive, and from what I've seen of the TS4 community, they're slowly starting to convert Peggy & co.'s old stuff. I'd say for the current moment, their shit isn't a priority until a vetting system can be put into place. (I had known about what May had done to Emma, but I didn't know it had gone THAT far, I'm sorry...)

I suggested the Phorum as a place to start out because it's hosted on Pescado's server and wouldn't be as vulnerable to complaints & the like. Emma, who was originally inspired by the Booty, has told me she's very much willing to supply pay files so that they could be hosted wouldn't be taken down, so it's a matter of connecting everything together and providing the framework. (Which is easy for someone like me to say, of course.)

I had envisioned a revamped Booty Shopping List à la the Phorum. I think having a list of who is currently being paid for, who needs to be paid for, content that can't be found at all, and everything else Levini mentioned would also be helpful. There is no centralized place for content, so there's a large overlap of the same content being shared. The Booty is probably the most stable place to hold everything, and I'd be fine organizing such threads together. Establishing a secure place to share, discuss, and source content is key to getting a TS4 Booty working. People are graciously sharing pay content; but there's such little communication between the suppliers that it's hard to have a more permanent system going.

I don't know if or where in the Phorum is the proper place to start a shopping list or discussion area, but that's more up to Pescado than me. My imagined model would be a new ts4 directory under /booty/, with the Phorum being revived. I can't do any of that, obviously, so the ultimate decision is for Pescado himself to decide if he's willing to deal with Booty 2: The Squeakquel.

There's enough pay content floating around publicly and that I have compiled myself to start; it's just a matter of gaining momentum.

I think the lack of interest boils down to TS4's community being swarm of twelves who don't understand the long, deep, and intricate history of the simming community and paid content. Most TS2 players are aware of the Booty, a smaller amount of TS3 players are, and practically no TS4 players are if they haven't played the two preceding games. Most people have to be told why TSR is a scumhole. People are sharing Patreon (and other pay content from the usual suspects like our good friend Newsea) pretty commonly now. The issue is that it's in places like trashcan fire that is simsecret, and on filesharing platforms that will acquiesce to enough bitching from Suzie the IMVU Mesh Thief to take the content down. People are so afraid of getting reported that they keep the mirrored content online for only a finite period of time. Distributors like JackBandit and Emma's Simposium operate on temporary mirroring because of tattlers.

If the people sharing were all directed to MATY or the Phorum, I'm fairly confident interest would aggregate quickly. During TS2 era, I didn't even know MATY/The Booty existed until the buggybooz & TSR shit hit the fan because I was wedged heavily up MTS' insular ass. As rancid as Tumblr is, word can travel fast there, and same for simsecret. Those two places alone involve enough interpersonal interaction that isn't being overly monitored to bring The Booty back to its former fame.
It's not like this community is incapable of screaming at each other.

I don't have direct access to any Patreon/Pay content nor am in contact with anyone who does, but I have collected enough of said content to provide a starting point. I've enough time to help with (or simply do) maintenance, I would only need to be put in contact with those who are sharing/paying for the content.

I miss ATWAT's antics, this crop of paysite creators are no fun
