As a further end note on my behalf... In this thread you see my earlier posts of being close-minded about the WC subscription. Mainly, because I wanted to "figure" I was correct about my beliefs of what it entailed and would not submit to otherwise. I then realized, "hey, it's 1 pizza from Papa Johns, Pizza Hut or Dominos." (At least in my area) and decided to give it a try just for the sake of it and helping a community I want to see stic

Do not send the file to anyone - it is not yours to distribute. I've already figured this out. (Not to sound insubordinate towards you, I mean no disrespect) Hence my comment of "It IS JJ Yings work" should show I

What the crap... I'm in SD Central and I can access the same stuff as within the WC Browser now? I think that's pretty cool. I guess an advantage of being an OD user as well?

I've already fixed the problem guys. At least for me. And have a new .IP file I sent to JJ Ying. Need it? Email me at [email protected] but it IS JJ Yings work!!!!!!!!!! I only got the .IP file to work (on my machine) nothing more, nothing less.

He he, open mouth...insert foot. The thread title is kinda misleading. Exactally Night Train. It will make WC Subscribers and those whom are not read it. The title just attracts hits and gets my oppinion across. If I put the title as Pro WC Subscription Movement and you weren't a WC Subscriber

Anti-WC Subscription Movement in New Users WinCustomize Forums

Hey All, After being a jerk for about 14 hours and not knowing about it's features, I flamed WC about it's subscription which some may deem as required within time. I will have to say I extend my apologies to the Skin Artists, Admins and Mods. I was wrong in this instance. The WC Browser is unlike anything I've seen before in organizing and viewing content the way I want to. $30 or more a year would still be a steal for this browser al

Know what? I'm through with this discussion. It's drove me simple. (As if I'm not already) I had to sell crack for at least 3 weeks to afford the WC Subscription but I now have it. Hope you all are happy. ::cough:: frogboy.. I need to now live in my car and leech the internet via a 900 foot ethernet cable. lol. I will have to say I was wrong though. I could get used to this WC Browser. Shows skins in a different way and I can now sea

You people are all bastards (not to insult) making me feel bad for not having a subscription. (talking to wife about it like my friend suggested getting something) "honey, I really need this." .. Reply.. "We'll see".. There you have it.. possibly. I hate you all and love you at the same time. Lol.

I think the community is likely to evolve to being a bit smaller but closer. Regardless of what people think is fair or whatever, the current model is not sustainable. Then read through the suggestions and choose what is plausable for the site.. And change it. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/w

Hmmm.. Sitting here and looking through the store (where I refuse to purchase from.. lol).. I realize most of them are older skins from the dinosaur times in this ever changing world. Perhpas... If premium skins are set with a fee but only for say.. 30 or 60 days?.. I would consider that plausable. If I am willing to wait 60 days for it to become free (yet perhaps exclusive to WC subscribers only) then I would consider that fair. Input anyone?

Of course most of the ideas presented hinge on Skinner's posting their work exclusively on Wincustomize. Many people are ego or career driven and isolating themselves to WC will have big impact on that. Too many Skinners have sites of their own to distribute their work. That is where most scenarios fail. <

One thing is for sure.. If the site is that much of a burden to run, then why is everything the same 12 hours after my first post on this thread? After all of the suggestions (most being easily implemented) I'm sure a happy medium could be reached. Enforce the Unlimited account I suggested, or offer let's say 2 premium skins each month to the cu

Amazing. Extremely innovative and flawless design IMHO. Without your talents JJ Ying, I'd be lost. You're amongst the few designers I could honestly state that I'd pay for their work. Thank you again for this amazing mini suite.

*chuckle* Yes, of course they do. A dime or less per song when the music industry is angry about 99 cents each on ITunes. I'm thinking you are being fed a line just to download music other leeches get for free. Lol.. since when did my music purchases become topic of discussion anyways. Just

If you are going to download music illegally, why pay the pirates? I doubt you're paying ten cents a song or less to record companies or middlemen. Good question. Answer is, because they aren't pirates and they do pay their royalties. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border

Shut the site down for a couple of months and see what happens This is something I'd prefer not to see happen. But honestly, think about it. (Not to be ignorant) Napster was "shut down" for the sharing of music with no fee. This didn't stop the internet, it stopped one site. You could still and C

Paying for a premium shin won't cut it....individual purchases of relatively low value....$5 or so each time....probably are more a logistics drain than anything, whereas an 'access fee', aka subscription that gets you everything [except 'specials' perhaps] SHOULD be the way to do it. Well put. You s

When a third party determines what is, or is not 'exclusive' there is a real danger of insult and/or discrimination. It's difficult enough already with accusations of mis-placed/unfair ratings used to filter works' access. This would be even more of an 'issue'... You know man, I can related to that

A 'selective' or 'exclusive' option......hmmmmmm..... I like the sound of that. I would put 95% of my work on exclusive and give a 5% taste of my work to the selective. Ahhh, I can already read all the treads about how greedy we skinners are Oh well, who cares...... you gotta give something to get something.

I think most of us still view the internet as a "free" environment is the issue. (including myself) I have a 7 month old son, I'm 23 years old and me and my wife make jack sh*t for wages. I can convince her in the customization software but not the "premium suites" if you'd want to consider them that. Therefore, I have Stardock Central and my year subscription for that, but I can't afford a few dollars here and there just to have a cool glass effect
