A well-stocked toolkit can fix anything...

Argh. It never fails. After awhile, I collect so many bookmarks, and upon trying to find a certain site I want to visit, it ends up looking like this:
SimThis
SimThat
SimSite
SimSite2
SimThisYetAgain
SimplyThis
SimplyThat
SimplyAnotherSimSite
SimplySomeSite
SimplySite
ARRRRRRGGGGGHHH!!! I know these people think they are being SO cute/clever by starting their site's name with "Sim" or "Simply," but EVERYONE'S DOING IT! It's absolutely a nightmare getting through your S links!
Am I the only one fed up with this?

It's a nuisance, but you can help yourself by sorting everything in your Favourites into proper alphabetical order. I put things into a Sims2 folder so nothing else gets in the way!

I suppose you could make a separate folder for your favourite sites that you go to a lot!

It is a pain when going thru favorites, but I have some (like MATY) that I visit often either in the links section or in a separate folder. Aactually, with having the site name start "sim", it was helpful to me when I was looking for sim content on the web.

Annoying, though, when you google for a particular site and you get a thousand and one entries that are NOT the one you want, and you have to scroll through a dozen pages to find it!

Lemme show you what mine look like... http://www.springhole.net/pics/simlinks.gifNow that I look at it, I don't even have that many of them bookmarked at the moment. Still, though, the percentage of S links is ridiculously high, and lemme tell you, going through the S section of any link directory site is an absolute nightmare. |

Totally! Wouldn't be so bad if they put all the sites that only do skins in a separate section.

Jesus Crised, Syerra, I play TS1, TS2, Uni and NL almost 4 years - and have only one column of favorites...  . You don't have to visit them all at once: just subscribe, and ask to be informed about updates. Thus you can delete many of your favorites, and enter the sites through the e-mailed updates... . The main site for you is The Sims Showcase, which every now and then informs you about other sites' updates. http://www.strategyplanet.com/thesims/simsshowcase/ |

I lost all my favourites when my computer had to be upgraded, so I've had to start again, but already I need to weed some stuff out (like extinct sites for starters!)

Give up downloading! Quit the habit! Get the anti-addiction patch! Go on the wagon!  |

Pfah. I don't download that much, but there are some sites I just have to keep an eye on in the event that they put out something I just can't resist. Like a fedora or something.

I've been annoyed by all the sites calling themselves SimSomething for years . If you can be bothered, you could search the TSR forums for old posts by me - I think I made a post along the same lines as this back in 2003  . Someone wanted advice for how to run a Sims site, and pretty much the first thing I said was "Don't call it SimSomething. At least call it Something Sims!". It must be a nightmare for dyslexics to keep them all straight. I like names that are unique, so I don't get muddled. I like names like Mermaid Cove, Cheap Frills, Trinkets + Treasures and barairo no jinsei (although at least 2 of those sites no longer exist). |

However, they won't show up if you google! Can't win really, can we?

See, now if you had complained about this BEFORE I made this site, I would totally have named it "SimSomething" to mock you.

Sites beginning Sim-something are better than other sites. Take Simlogical for instance....

Will it be a Sims site?  |
