I didnt think it would be abuse, I just wanted to make sure that Maxis didnt consider it abuse either cuz quite a few times stuff that we thought was perfectly legit has gotten people suspended and/or banned. And I had not heard of the Friends and Family program being cancelled so I wondered if bypassing having to pay the $16 set up fee per account was not somehow gonna be construed as cheating. That's why I asked a mod or admin to answer the question, or even better yet, Tigger herself.
Edited to say: I was able to get the link to work tonight, a few hours later than I posted the first time, the downside is they said it would be 24 hours b4 I would hear from anyone which sucks, I wish it was instantaneous like it is with the F/F plan but hey what can you expect with something that is free right? LOL. Patience has never been one of my strongest points /php-bin/shared/images/icons/laugh.gif
