so, i see that my OD renewal for 12 months is $35, and a premium skin that doesn't move me is $10. it makes the skin look expensive Feline made a good point. If I had a good job $10 would be nothing (though I'm not sure I'd spend it on a theme). Unfortunately, I haven't had a regular job since last May and have doing freelance stuff here and th
Thanks I tried the address. Unfortunately it was down. I'll try again at a later date.

Lovely opportunity, but I haven't done that stuff since '94 My skills are a bit out of date, as with my knowledge of 3D graphics software. Bummer
Hus, the purpose of selling the suites isn't to be elitest, it's to make money to support the authors and help pay for the site's bandwidth. I completely disagree with your position of keeping the prices high just to ensure "snob appeal". BTW, you can't get snob appeal with a $10 price anyway.
What is your website address?
Expanding upon my previous post.... (rephrasing argument in paragraph 1, proposing new solution in paragraph 2) I think that if the price point was lower, you would make up in volume what you lose in dollers per individual sale. The people who would buy ths suites to support the community and the authors will buy anyway, and a micro-price such as $1 for a skin would probably attract a huge number of casual users who would never pay $10 for a skin. There's no need to just take m
I'm all for authors being able to sell their skins, icons, etc. One problem is that some of the pay suites are lower quality than the free stuff. A second problem is that I feel the price point is too high. I think that if the price point was lower, you would make up in volume what you lose in dollers per individual sale. The people who would buy ths suites to support the community and the authors will buy anyway, and a micro-price such as $1 for a skin would probably
Jafo, I think that if you reduce the price you will more than make up in volume what you lose in current individual sales. I know how much effort goes into creating a skin. I'm not at your level at all, but I have done four (though only uploaded one). /me thinks feline had a real good post there with good points.
I agree, Toon XP is definitely the best pay pack.
Or instead of listing "Skinner", put down "WinCustomize.com Skinner". That way (if they care to), they can check what that is and what you have done. I think you should put it in the "Hobbies" category.
How would this be hard? Just use the WC browser, have the person enter a list of skin names (EXACT skin names) as well as what library they are in. Then it can go and check the dates on each entry, store the last updated entry, and once a week go and check those same entries to see if the last updated bit has changed. This should be something that would be extremely to do with the WC browser. It would be harder to code it into the site itself, but this kind of thing should be a subsc
KG, that last case you mentioned was definitely injust. It was purely the rollerblader's fault. Oh well, yet another miscarriage of justice.

I disagree, I think he could make a skin inspired by Warcraft3, but he could not use any graphics actually copied from Warcraft3.
Perhaps there could be two levels of sales? Sell the individual components of suites at low prices, and sell the entire packaged suite at a higher price, but at a lower price than buying all of the components individually. Jafo, you used to be the rule, but are now the exception. The vast majority of the people coming here now don't give a whit about the community, they only care about getting high quality skins and leaving. This means that to get more people to buy the suites, you h
P.S. I agree with TasT''s statement Premium suites are usually excellent art work but to gaudy for real work And the other extreme: highly usable, but too ugly to want on my screen. (I measure ugly by my preferring the Windows classic look over the skin) And there''s the third option that several of the pay skins have taken: u
An example of what I would pay for: XP Corona Yes, I know it's "merely" a port of the windows media player skin. However, it is both highly attractive, and excellent for real work. Even though it is "just" a port, I think it is one of the best skins on the site. If it had been a pay skin, I would have bought it. Compare XP Corona against some of the pay suites and it is easy to tell which is better.
I think that there should be severe punishments for that woman, but not jail since it was an accident. Good night I'll pick it back up in the morning.
The public relishes the scandel, but things are different when actually in the court room. The jury tends to let celebrities off with light sentences (which often are not served for one reason or another), or let them off the hook entirely.

OJ wasn''t the exception (unfortunately) As for Martha Stewart, she has ticked off too much of the population for the past few years for people to presume her innocent. It''s strange how it works. Cops deliberately target celebrities because by making an example they boost their profile (often resulting
And Adam, that was the best response I've seen in months
key word, "supposed" I was baliff in Maryland for two years, I've seen a lot and I can tell you that innocent until guilty is a phrase only. Juries come in with the mindset that even if the person didn't commit the crime they are accused of, the cops nabbed him/her for some good reason and he/she should be punished for that. I'm sorry if I seem cynical, I've just seen it happen way to many times. The way the system really works is that they're usually guilty until proven inno
I like your "skinwatch" idea Sounds like a good additional benefit for subscribers.
