Once long ago, Customize.org was the world's leading customization site.

But today it's a case study of what happens if the site is run by teens.  No offense to the mature teens that may be reading this.  But it as a long time skinner, it has been disheartening to watch customize.org slowly decay to the state it's in.

In the same post in which I get called "arrogant" the mod rips on WinCustomize and claims how Customize.org leads in "quality" over sites like deviantART and WinCustomize.  It's really hard to assess that given that they only get a couple of submissions per day that aren't screenshots and that those submission are also typically here on WC too.

What is also odd is that this was in a thread in which the various staff of Customize.org were claiming to be defending skin authors everywhere (though apparently it's okay to imply that those who don't post their things there suck).

Anyway, those of you who haven't been through Customize.org when it was a great leading site may just see this as pointless venting.  But those who remember when Customize.org was an inspiration to all skinners I suspect know the sorrow I feel at its decline.

Customize.org?? I never heard of them. Oh, yeah, I meant that I don.t care about Customize.org. The site to me is poorly organized, & improperly administered. Wincustomize is THE skinning site, but I don't need to tell you that, frogboy. I have a site that I am reorganizing, DeskTop Makers Email. One Page, titled, The Best Skins On The Web Link, is a dedication to your site, the artists, and the community.

This site is THE Skinning Community. Here you will find the very best digital artwork, in my opinion, on the Web. The best part of it all, they have the software to show off all that artwork.
. Quoted by Me concerning Wincustomize.
Can any other site, claim the above, I don't think so.

Who is the admins at Customize.org? Sometimes, I stopped by Custo to see new skins.
What happened to VelocityArt? I miss it.
