Reply to Requesting some admin help... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Fuzzy, check my threads and you'll see that I do deserve (and did before) a promotion. Specifically the thread about new users and 'revolution' at WC. For about one month I not only commented on skins, but also fairly rated them. And on top of all that, I've got over 140,000 dls under my belt. I do participate a lot in WC message board threads, and many of them happen to be threads where I stick up for Apple or myself. But I have never come out and bashed any person or thing that

Ok but I know it wasn't Frogboy (he verified that in a thread that he posted about freedom of speech)... and it apparently wasn't you, and I don't really have any contact with the other Admins much... But I do understand that you won't do anything until it's verified... But I do think that if an Admin did demote me, I would have been notified of the demotion... And the other thing is, it must have been VERY recent, because I rated a wallpaper or something yesterday, and now I'm a citi

Requesting some admin help... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Yesterday I got into a mini-quarrel with Frogboy (lots of confusion and frustration on both parties) and he sort of...punished me by adding exiled to my name (which he told me I could easily change). I changed it and everything seemed back to normal, except I had been demoted to Citizen from Apprentice. I asked Frogboy about it and he said that he didn't demote me, but he'd look into it to see if I had been an Apprentice, and to change me back to Apprentice if he found out that I actually once

Haha really??? Hrmmmm...well I'd really appreciate it if you'd look into it a little bit... You can ask Jafo about it, he's the one who made it official a while back... I think it was when I only had about 25,000 DLs... which was a while ago

I really wish you'd reconsider the demotion. I always take the time to help out anyone I can on the message boards, have plenty of downloads of my work, and have been here for a long time. I know that a title is exactly that...just a title. But there is a very high-held meaning in the title, and I believe I have earned through hard work on this site and hard work on my own, to hold the Apprentice title. Please Frogboy, this is just one slip in the year plus I've been here. Everyon

Nothing I said was personal Frogboy, just my opinion, and I mean that. I respect you not only as a person but as the co-creator (creator?) of this site and company. I mean well in everything I say and do. I'm a very amicable person, but I do love the occasional flame war or two. It's all in good fun, Frogboy

Well all i said was "here we go again, blah blah blah" and i got exiled... Frogboy, this is a little extreme. Sure we have our differences and we have our own views, but those are just black and white. You exiling me is a personal insult which I do not deserve. I am a very well known user of WC, contribute wildly to many MB and front page posts, and have well over 100,000 DLs. So please, exiling me isn't doing anyone justice. Yes, I know freedom of speech is something that

Actually TheD2JBug is right, IBM would have just entered the market and failed like most other companies... methinks Frogboy was just after Apple again, but I'm not complaining, to each his own. Frogboy, I thought frogs ate flies, not Apples

Reply to Blog: Windows Handles, Web-based widgets, fun with SP2. in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Frogboy, you gotta see this! There are riots on the streets in Cupertino over the DX thing! It seems like EVERYONE in the mac world really cares about a little Windows app 'ripping them off'. They even burnt some people wearing MS shirts at the stake!! Haha, juusstt kidding...actually, no one cares. So stop trying to pretend like anyone does! But those TiVo folk...I'd be pretty careful around them... By the way, how did it come from TiVo again? You mean to tell me that Ti

Reply to Konfabulator copped again by....NISSAN?!?!?!?! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

True paxx, but even flash based programs shouldn't be any more resource hungry to matter... Dashboard uses HTML and Java encoded "Web pages", which they call gadgets (widgets). These files are probably around 200k, which isn't much lower than the 500k average (give or take) for Nissan's widgets. And last time I used DX, it ate up my computer's ram like Bush and my tax dollars.

Konfabulator copped again by....NISSAN?!?!?!?! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Yes, that's right folks, Apple's not the only one taking a bite out of Arlo Rose's Konfabulator. Nissan has just released DesktopTools 3, which looks and feels remarkably similar to Konfabulator. But will this create a big of a stink here at WC as the show staged by Frogboy against Apple? methinks not. I wonder why..... Anyways, heres the link... it's in Japanese, but theres a cool Shockwave demo that we can understand http://desktop.nissan.co.jp/DT3/

Frogboy, when I read this article, really only one thing comes to mind (and I'm sure that I'm not alone on this): "Uhuh..." Really, you have the great ability, like that of a newspaper columnist or a online journalist, to not only sit through the annoying and agonizing process of typing something like this, but also covering almost every detail (although some may see it as biased, at least it's very thorough). By posting this on WC only, you're really not accomplishing much.
