Good post Paxx. If you want to know my beef it's this: If some individual puts up a skin site, it's because they're just a good guy. But if a company sponsers one, it has to be purely for money. Isn't that what you're saying? That you actually somehow believe that WinCustomize is purely a capitalistic effort? Sorry Paxx, but sometimes companies, especially fairly small ones, do things for the same reasons that individuals do. They think something si cool, the

Reply to Admins, when are we gonna see a Hoverdesk section?? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Life is filled with imperfect solutions. But I would submit to you that the average joe coming to this site finds 20 sections more than enough. You can have a pretty well positioned skin site by simply having: 1) WinAmp 2) ICQPlus 3) WindowBlinds 4) ICQPlus 5) IconPackager Everything from there (statistically speaking) is gravy.

Crae has some good points. Naivete isn't restricted to just some skinners. I'm naive too. After what happened with Skinz.org with eFront, we decided that when we put up WinCustomize we would put everything on view. No secrets. We'd let users know how many visitors the site gets. Where they come from. How much bandwidth is used. How that bandwidth is distributed. How much the site costs. What ideas we had for the site. Get people's input on directions for the site.<b

I was talking to a friend of mine last night and I was able to finally come up with a really good analogy. Pretend me, Alexandrie, and the rest of the Admins have nothing to do with Stardock. Pretend we're just a few very active skinners in the community (which we are). Now, skinz.org goes down and we decide we want to set up a site to help act as an anchor for the community. But man, bandwidth is expensive and so are all the other associated costs. Now, along comes S

EZ Themes in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

BTW, awhile back we were talking about these other skin sites that the "general community" doesn't go to. EZThemes and such. Those sites actually get a ton of visitors. Well, I'm pleased to say that we have finally overtaken EZThemes in daily visitors. Thanks to all your support!

While the original intent of the site was to be a skin portal, that's long since ceased to be the case. As an idea, a skin portal is a still a good one, but implementing one, a good one is a lot LOT more work than we can really take on and would require a lot of work by the various skin sites. And the situation has changed too radically. Deskmod is gone. Other sites don't have a lot of bandwidth to spare. If someone wants to start a skin site portal, we would help promote their launch i

DeviantPrints open for business in WinCustomize News JoeUser Forums

DeviantArt is the world's largest on-line art community. They have recently begun allowing users to order prints of some of the great artwork available over there. Proceeds from the artwork go to the artists as well as to the site to help pay the bandwidth bills. Check it out.
