Thats a pretty respectable figure considering there are about 500 million internet users.100,000 would be an acheivement,1.4 million is astounding.Just for fun i did some math.I have 1 wb(second will be ready soon) at just over 15,000 dl's.That means due to my exposure thru this website I have reached .0000033 percent of the world! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" border=0 ALIGN="

There's a lot to learn for a new skinner.Once he twiddles with all the controls long enough he should begin to see what affects what.Certainly took me lots of trial and error(and cursing)I looked at his SS and he's doing well ,he just needs to play with the margin settings.

I agree the admins have been taking a beating lately.(unwarranted)Lots of people jumping on innocent post(unecessary)and over the top defensive reactions by nearly everyone(human nature,but it just makes things worse).I'm loving this place.Where else can a first time WB skinner rack up 10'000 dl in the first month.A 15 to 1 ratio compared to the next best site I'm on.25 comments compared to 1 or 2.Do I think they were insulted or slighted?Yea...but so were you and the admins.

Sorry Crissy ,resolution dosnt affect anything other than how large everything looks.Content margins and whether or not the user pic is being displayed will tho.Also you can make the name disappear if you set the text angle 180 degress from forward to backwards.

On the flip side so Frogboy dosnt think I put all the blame at his feet,I really wish Apoc. and Akasha would stick around and work thru this.Why cant they just post their stuf here too.I dont want to go anywhere else to get their work.I like it here.(but I will pay them a visit at skinbase if they are there.I think they are.)

The only reason I bought SS and WB4 was this website.So Frogboy when you say Stardock could get along without it ,maybe,but I expect you would see a loss of new customers.This site made me want to buy your product and SKIN!I love it here.I appreciate the admins and volunteers.I could understand if you had said you didnt know who I was, I'm new and just beginning to contribute.But I find it curious and depressing to hear you say you didnt know who Apoc. and Akasha were.2 prominent and talented ar

That crack about wall artist being "ten a penny" was way out of line.Artist the quality of Apoc. and Akasha should be highly valued.Think back to the very first thing you ever changed about windows and i'll bet it was the desktop background.To think that walls are not an important part of skinning is just silly.Ever used a really great skin with out some kind of matching wall?Just not right.

No rules had a good suggestion.Letting people moderate themselves by giving every user level a set # of walls they can post.Then they could rotate their own stock.(say 10 -20 for citizen,30 or so for apprentice,and so on...you get the idea) OR...go with a logged on user dl count to determine if something stays.Everything would get a chance but if no one dl'ed it ,out it would go.The ratings system is too easily abused and you would end up with a new group of unhappy campers.

I DO like seeing the name of a skin in the work somewhere.It's a unique identifier.However I dont want to se the name of the person anywhere.And I wont use a skin that has the buttons in weird configurations,To much of our normal computing is instinctive.I dont want to have to search for a button or be hitting the wrong one by mistake.

Yes,please dont go Akasha.I enjoy seeing your work here and I cant get DA's site to load.The wall situation does need changing but we wont change it by leaving.No Rules has a very good idea for doing away with moderation,maybe we can convince them to consider it.Bad as I hate being rejected I dont want to see this site become another filled to the brim with every little scribble that someone wants to upload.I agree with you about Frogboys post tho,...that was pretty disheartening.If we stick ar
