Is it possible to set up a site to submit skins prior to September 30? We will be working with the moderators (as we are on the 1st contest) so that the files uploaded to compete on the contest prior to the date of the contest will be hold on cue until the 1st day of the contest. Just make sure

For all I care, TSF could use off world links and get 'Scotty' to beam them down to my puter. TSF, going where no other skinner has gone before. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Ew.gif" border=0 ALIG

Mr 500 thou' and change? That must be moi. Well for someone that has been here that much longer than me you really make too much of a fuzz over some meaningless, irrelevant thing. And it really doesnt relate to me at all, but the question is. How does it relate to YOU?? Or better yet, how does TSF or any author outlinking their skins damages or alters the WC community or the skinning community in general? Authors will promote/distribute

Kith, Im gonna add a download link to another site for my skins from now on. Maybe that will calm you down. I mean, who the hell (besides you) cares how TSF links their skins. Just be glad you can get them for free. Jeesh, you are really dragind this thing way out of proportion. In all the time you have wasted ranting about this issue you could've download all the free themes from the Alienware site. You could've also installed them and delete th

I am working with the other sponsors on the last details of the second skinning contest. Hopefully I will make the official announcement tomorrow night. Hus and Black Xero are willing to contribute for a second place prize but that leaves one category short of a prize. (BTW, thank you guys) If we get a 3rd donation I will contact the sponsors to agree on what will the 2nd place prize be. Those interested in participa

No special treatment is extended to any author in particular. As a matter of fact I can easily create a skin theme to let's say, promote my own website and link it our of the WC library. Judging by your comments on TSF latest theme, I can only assume that you have started this thread out of disgust due to the fact that you have to download a theme pack out of another site rather than individual downloads of each skin on this site.

Reply to WC Subscription Contest: 4th Day in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

rabidrobot , your strategy is right on the money. On these type of contest you need to use everything to your advantage (without cheating of course ) And as you've mentioned, some key elements to consider are: -Timing. Uploading on days with heavier traffic gives you a better chance of downloads. -The Theme. Choosing a theme/image that appeal to th

Just to clear some of the points made. > The reason why we're using the Registered Users Download Count instead of the overall D/L count is because registered users are part of the WC community and not 'drive-by' visitors. > In order to determine a winner based on a single day download count, all entries would have to be uploaded and accepted at a precise time in order to have the same running time on the contest. <b

OK, let's not loose sight of what this post is really about. THE CONTEST!! Everything else is irrelevant. Age has nothing to do with skills, enthusiasm or power of achievement. This is not the first and it certainly will not be the last contests on WC.
