I summed up my thoughts in THIS post... It's a commercial site, and it should rely on lots of people wanting/needing a subscription, not on some peoples generosity to gift away subs to other people. While it would be convenient to browse ad free, I don't really have much use of a subscription. I can't afford to put up that much money on something I don't need... :(

Happy B-day to ya! (You do realise that we all DO expect you to stay at home skinning all day and night anyway though? ;P)

[quote who="Jafo" reply="10" id="2017208"] mickeko .... Wincustomize.com IS commercially funded. One specific company pays for its existence, namely Stardock. What is WANTED is for the site to be self-supporting/funded....from sufficient Subscriptions, etc to pay for the substantial costs of the site.[/quote] That's fairly unlikely to happen though...There's really not enough non-stardock content to REALLY be worth the fairly high subscription cost, and a wincustomize

Thanks for the peptalk guys and gals. :) In my search for a way to go on, I ended up with a loading screen... It actually works really well as a bootskin too.. :)
Actually I was trying to say "Don't start to (star-two) bash trolls without telling me" Told you it was tricky... Perhaps I should say near impossible :P

Ok, I've started on one of my dozen ideas I have in my head.... I'm hoping posting this little preview here will give me inspiration to continue it.. :P Calling it Codename: Static, because I have no idea how to continue it at the moment, I'll just sleep on it, and hope to progress tomorrow :)
Which one? The one where your cat hates puppies? :)
[quote who="MasonM" reply="5" id="2015039"]As a long time Linux user (Slackware since 1995) I can say that I would and do support companies that support Linux. I belive that most Linux users are the same way. [/quote] Actually, *all* people I know (would be around 30-50 people in total) who use Linux as their one and only OS are sticking to ONLY support companies that release free software for Linux. They are commercially challenge folks.... :P

I dropped by giveaway of the day... Usually they hand out quite silly software, but today they have Glary utilities pro... I could even upgrade it to the latest version from the official Glary homepage after installation and retain all the pro features.... It's a really nice maintenance package, well worth the... free... pricetag. :) 13 hours remaining, and you need to install it today or it won't work. (which is the only catch, if you need to reinstall it at a later point, you will n

Perhaps I should request a namechange, lol... :P

[quote who="instant" reply="8" id="2016296"] Still wish I was on AmigaOS though. [/quote] I tried to fiddle around with AmigaOS last week... While it was a great OS at its time, it's horribly outdated today (and not to mention ugly, as it's primarily made for lowres screens)... :) I loved it back in the "days" though....

Something to match that stuff would be great.... Not that my computer look anywhere near it... :D I was actually thinking of a steampunk WB a few days ago.... Then I tried creating it, and fell short.... Taming illustrator/photoshop isn't done in a day... :)
