_everyone_ is a volunteer?
i ran a BBS on my C-128 for a bit...then later on ran a few BBS's using RemoteAccess 2.02. even paid the $99 to register that baby. then when the guy coding it decided to stop, i switched to the renegade rewrite. always was part of fidonet too...was like 6:140/something-or-another. being in japan, though, i was always a 6.
maybe you should read the news articles on deviantART before you foam ignorance from your fingertips. had you done so, and comprehended what you read, then you would understand the predicament. what is funny, though, is that you fail to realize that WinCustomize has the same issues that deviantART does, except that they are partially funded from a company that makes plenty of money whereas the former is merely a website that is struggling to handle exponential growth due to the absence of skin
why not limit the number of skins a user can import into an unregistered stardock application? doing so would force that user to stop downloading skins. presumably, these users are downloading skin after skin until they find one they like, thus using the bandwidth. if you limited that to, say, 10 skins importable until WB is registered, then that would save alot on bandwidth, or so it would seem. ...just an idea. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 A
smart bars sounds rather nifty. neat work brad!
wow, sorry to hear that. that is horrible news.
frogboy: you guys oughta check it out. if you're interested, holler!
i think they're attempting to run the site off a cobalt raq with only 256MB ram. not good with apache, php and mysql all running. plus if you go to netcraft and check out their server, they're running it with hella mods (mod_perl, mod_this, mod_that). all that adds up on server load, which is what is killing their box. growing pains...something we at DA know about all too well. on the bright side,
thanks everyone!
/me licks poetic technologies ...
must be nice to have bandwidth
speaking of porn ... ... registers deviantpr0n.com and opens up another bandwidth eating community site! >
i've heard the same things about them dEViaNtaRT guys. must be some kind of mental disease related to conjoined rectums...
/me wonders if snowman is the skinning website police or something ... 1st report: deviantART is slow and does not care about their bandwidth. 2nd report: WinCustomize is slow and does care about their bandwidth. 3rd report: LOS is down with no comment, as of yet, regarding whether or not they care about their bandwidth.
congrats guys!
whoa .. indeed it it
http://www.winamp.com/skins/detail.jhtml?componentId=61331 the above link now displays the following, which means the skin was removed: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

glad to hear that things are on the path to resolution! /me licks treetog's sputnik skin suite!
treetog: i asked steve g. from nullsoft about this. he should be contacting ya soonest. hope this gets resolved.
gotta agree with jafo on dat one
*holds lips with petrified look on face while looking furiously for tongue*
dont listen to anyone but the dude outside your window screaming the lyrics to "I Write The Songs" by Barry Manilow.
*waves goodbye to the idiots that just dont understand* people like that are obviously not worth keeping. if they can't realize that the site is still free, just an added feature, then they're not worth participation in the community.
/me continues licking folks...
