Nothing that is done, or decided to/for this site is done lightly, but [in spite of Moshi's opinion... ] is anguished over on a communal level, be it by inoccuous threads such as this one....or by comments bounced around between the 'senior' members of the site. None of us is deaf, you know.....we do listen... I am sure you are right but Brads i

A poll can be 'fun' but sociology will tell you that it is never founded in reality, at least never accurate. Wording/slanting can control an outcome. Topicality can engender prejudice... Totally agree. Hence why i did not put much emphasis on this aspect during our discussions. By the way i have tried to do a statistical analysis but as usual

Leo....re #133....it is a hell of a lot more important to respect and protect existing skins and their owners on this site than to suggest that we shove them aside with scant regard to appease a new vocal 'minority'. Did I say that......No.....Did I suggest that.....No......Did i imply that......NO i did not. My suggestion was to place them in an

moshi.......i am not upset........you would know it if something had really upset me....i just feel like many others do that a small yes small change is required to keep up with the flow. I love this place and have defended and sung the praises of Wincustomize and Stardock in many debates in the past and converted many people both via personal contact and message boards to come over to Object Desktop and use Wincustomize. However there are times when even the best need a little "shove" to remind

Trillian is a good example [or one's ignorance of it is] of how a perception of a skin proggy's popularity can be insular or even myopic, and shows that one's arguments relating to popularity or significance may be flawed. Nice and clever choice of words. I admire your tact. OK so put it to the test and lets see what the membership of this site w

Beatnik, for example is such a simple little proggy that it makes an ideal starting point for the 'noob' who wants to be able to say he has 'skinned something'....and is a good launching place for more adventurous endeavours...so its place can be justified. [it's one proggy I've never skinned]. Well that is exactly what Rainlendar is and wo

Leo.....removing a section is a pretty severe step....perhaps even disrespectful....to those who may have contributed to those sections....so is not really a viable option So we appease a very small number skinners and users to the detriment of the feelings of many people within the community??? That does not make sense nor does it hold water. So

Jafo.......OK.......so why have we still got sections for Beatnik and Kewlpad to name but two. Forget the history of why they were put on the site in the first place - why are they still here now when they could be replaced by a more popular programmes? Fuzzy.....Funnily enough thats what my thoughts were but i did not wish to appear flippant when we were told earlier in the thread that maybe Trillian is going to be the next section on WC. I wonder what would happen if someone started a

Reply to New CPU......................advice please in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Yrag..........you were spot on......it was set at 100 which is the old athlon/duron setting. I set it to 15 X 133 and everything went smoothly. I then read my motherboard manual (Asus A7V266-E) and it appeared as though my CPU Type Freq Setting was still at Athlon/Duron so i chopped the jumpers across to Palamino and hey presto the BIOS kicked up the XP 2400 chip next boot up. Thanks mate, your are a star when it comes to these techy things. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles

New CPU......................advice please in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Today i threw caution to the wind and saw a great deal on an AMD XP 2400 CPU and so i purchased it. Installed it and everything goes like a rocket ship however when I booted up the BIOS gave me three CPU options - Manual, 2000 mhz and 2666 mhz. I went for the 2000 mhz option as i believe the chip is designed to run at this speed however when i boot up and look in the system device manager it shows the chip as XP 2000+ whereas it is an XP 2400. Is this right or am i missing something. <img src="h

Brad.......who is jumping up and down????? I'm not - i hope i am trying to make my/our case in a mature and adult manner. If you think we have not made our case then you have not bothered to check out what i have said about the DA aspect. Neither have you done your homework on download statistics on what i would call "redundant" sections. If you think that my/our evidence is based on screenshot counts you certainly have not bothered to read anything i have said. At no time

KG.......morning ma'am The polls did not give Rainlendar a chance - and with general apathy towards voting in the polls what did we or you expect. Please look at DA and check out my statement and then tell me that Rainlendar is not popular. Surely then we could say that ***if*** a Rainlendar section was introduced to WC then it would be more popular than at least half a dozen se
