[quote]If Stardock is looking to bring in more customers that might want to spend money then why not attempt to drawn more female customers/skinners to the site? I have said it many times - women have money too...and we arent afraid to spend it on silly stuff like skins and programs that others thing are pointless. A woman stumbling onto this site might only see the front page. Most women coming here will probably only look in the wallpaper gallery....with the exception of the few that know a

[quote]Are they going to remoderate everything that didn't make it to the main gallery...this seems like it may create a bigger problem. Now, if somebody's stuff doesn't make the cut, they can whine and complain about it needing to be remoderated. A precedent has been set.[/quote] No, it's not so black and white. Let me ask this- should the moderators never listen to a complaint? Are complaints never founded? What type of place is this if we never take a ste

Reply to Dynamic Earth in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Badass B, that expiry date is just a year from when you purchased. Our db puts one on every registration since we use them for subscriptions. It doesn't mean that your product is going to expire. Desktop Earth is part of Object Desktop. I *think* that is was originally called Dynamic Earth when Deskscapes was in earlier beta, which may be where the confusion is. This is what it is (but is also available as a Deskscapes download through SDC for Object Desktop):

[quote]i guess if a person whines enough...........[/quote] That is not the point. It had nothing to do with "whining". What happened was that it was remoderated and was decided that it was good enough to be put back in the library. However, I will say that I think these type of things can be handled differently. It would be nice if people would email an admin versus starting the rants on the forums. It ends up being anything but constructive.

Reply to Cant get Object Desktop Subscriber skins (Pirate and Magic Desktops)to work anymore... in Object Desktop JoeUser Forums

Magic was a free suite to customers who renewed a couple time. Pirate, however, was never free. Magic is applied trough ThemeManager. It will not work with MyColors as it is not a MyColors package. I would suggest uninstalling ThemeManager, rebooting, then reinstalling it through Stardock Central. You may also want to delete the suites, then redownload and install with the fresh ThemeManager. You can get your download links from the lookup at: <A href="

[quote]Part of that is going to be an IP address where the mesage originated (they can get around that too, but if they do not think about it, that is their address).[/quote] Actually, that is not completely true. The IP address that shows up in email is usually the email address of the mail server, not the IP of the person sending the email. So, the email server could be in a different state or cuntry from the person sending the email.

Draginol, you forgot to mention providing fair wages to any contractors, even outside the US for all contract work done.
