It's a Promotion Bonanza!
Masters, Journeymen, Master Apprentices!
Friday, June 8, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
This week, the moderation team and site staff put their heads together to talk about user promotions and what names leaped out of people's heads as possible contenders. So today, after several days of discussion, I'm pleased to announce the following user promotions:
Master
For his numerous contributions to the skinning world, from msstyles to WindowBlinds skins, as well as his effort to organize other skinners into a new skinning studio (MaxStyles), I'm pleased to promote vStyler to the ranks of WinCustomize Masters! I look forward to many great skins and suites from vStyler in the coming months, both premium and free to the community. And I'm sure he won't disappoint 
Journeyman
In addition to our Master promotions this month, we wanted to take some time to think about who would fit well on the Journeyman roster. Almost immediately two names were brought up and received enthusiastic nods of approval from the team. These individuals have proven themselves outstanding members of the community both in attitude and in contributions to the site. The quality of their work is consistent and generally well-received. One of the rewards of this rank is that their new submissions are automatically posted to the site without the delay of moderation.

Master Apprentice
Climbing the ranks towards Journeyman and Master are three more skinners who today attained the rank of Master Apprentice. These folks show promising talent that the community has helped to nurture and grow in the past months/years. Hopefully they'll continue to contribute and participate here, working their way up the ranking ladder here at WinCustomize.

Also to my family who have stuck by me through it all while i kept saying .."just a little while longer"
Thanks to my team on Maxstyles that I have put together carefully and that I hope will bring the community as a whole many great skins and suites in the months and years to come.
Thanks to my beta testers, I can't name you all but you know who you are.
...and finally thanks to the wonderful folks at Stardock and WC for downloading my work, being so supportive and for honoring me with this opportunity to further myself and my team.
Cheers! Im off for a small..but strong drink!
