Reply to Cell phones: Necessary convenience or Invasive privacy intruder? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

lol, Thanks for the input, was curious, because, personally, I get irritated with those who carry them around at all times, answer them during a movie [theater], interupt dinner out with friends to take that "important call" - etc etc etc.. To me, having a cell phone is almost liek saying: "Hey, call me whenever you want, any time of the day and there should be NO excuse why we can't talk! I don't need privacy, contact me WHENEVER!" - then they usually complain and whine when you don't return ca

KONA: You had mentioned earlier that you do not have a credit card [as I don't myself...]. Do you know someone [family, friends, etc?] with one? I believe many of these people without credit cards *could* purchase a subscription via friend/family member. You can also transfer funds FROM PayPal TO their [the person who paid the 20 dollars for your subscription]online bank account. Is that not an amiable solution? Surely we ALL know someone willing to front 20bux for the time it takes to transfer

I have to say, I like the idea of number 1 there.. The idea of encouragement to make better skins/wallpapers is a good idea - although you'd think people would *want* to make their "best" walls already hehe.... I'm all for the pay site, if people can't open their wallets. These are usually the same people who will buy a 24 pack of beer, hit the movies, fill their gas tank to "cruise town", buy a bag of Dorit

Reply to User Status... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

... Well, wasn't intending to do the "good boy" thing.. I just wanted to inform others [who know this name, etc] that my efforts are more than idle. I just know others who joined around the same time as me, who have been promoted a couple times, with less effort than myself, so was just curious how the whole pr

User Status... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I know this topic is generally covered in the FAQ [etc] section of this site, which I've read numerous times, but I still feel the need, in case times have changed [and so on] to ask: What exactly should a citizen [like myself] do to acquire a higher status? Apart from contributing to the site throughout the many libraries of art and forums...... I guess what I mean is - How can a person, like myself, let others know of my interest in "promotion"? Not promotion for ANY OTHER reaso

Hey, don't feel bad Kona...lol Although I'm new[ish] - since about August or so, last year] No one hardly even knows my name:-P Hehe, I don't expect anything I guess... I'm hoping some day someone [a mod heh] will look at my work, my drive and say to him/herself: "Jeez, you know, that Spyder has really been overlooked lately, he's not a big-time skinner but he sure is consistent!" <img src="http://imag

I don't think anyone is asking you [personally] to donate.. I think they're more reacting to YOU offering in the first place, then, in their eyes, backing down with semi-legit excuses later. I, personally, am on no one's side here..hehe I'm the UN - so to speak Take care all

Odd... I only want a subscription so I can download more wallpapers..[lol]... The programs themselves hold no interest for me hehe... Maybe I'm a minority? hehe.. [just a thought, since most people seem to purchase a subscription for more than the basic wallpapers] <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/s
