Still lessons to be learned...
Sunday, March 4, 2007 by Cyberworld | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
We are used to call WC as a community...still does this really apply to the site?
A definition of community could possibly be the aggregate of persons with common characteristics such as geographic, professional, cultural, racial, religious, or socioeconomic similarities. Communities can be defined by location, race, ethnicity, age, occupation, interest in particular problems or outcomes, or other common bonds. The main bonding element of communities is communication, hence the likeness of the words. And from what my experience has taught me is that in WC there is a serious lack of it.
People don't actually come here to socialize, they come here to download skins, themes and other skin related stuff. Very few comments, very few forum posts and very few post replies in comparison to other communities. If you do need stats here are some:
WC Stats:
30 037 Posts
384 915 Replies
Founded: 2001
DA Stats:
689 502 Posts
14 534 399 Replies
Founded: 2000
So i guess there are still lessons to be learned...

Neither would i. That's why i say the communication system needs to get better.
The way it is now does not promote much conversational commenting or any form of conversation whatsoever.
Especially for the skin/themes.Please login to comment and/or vote for this skin.
