Are you an ORKUTian? Join us at our WC community there
We are waiting for you
Monday, July 23, 2007 by Mithun Pal | Discussion: Internet
Do you have a profile at ORKUT? Then you are most welcome to our community - "I'm from Wincustomize"- a community exclusively for Wincustomize community members.
So, can I expect you there?

Uh...seems to me that they would "already" know about a WC Community if they were already a member at Orkut...doesn't it? So this would seem to be actually recruiting more members...not asking current members to join you there.
And I think the point everyone is trying to make is...why would we go there since we are already there...as in here...where the discussions have been going on for quite some time now. We already have a Community of WC members.
I think the problem was in your wording. The was no real explanation of what Orkut was/is and I personally never click on offsite links unless I have better knowledge of what they are...its nothing personal.

In theory no, but eventually we may/will end up an all such sites, good and bad (sites).
That was set up by Stardock, anyone can join not just WC members.
In Himangshu's own words (posted after you posted)
I have heard of facebook, never heard of orkut until this thread, if I wanted to join Himangshu's community, I would have to prove/show I am a WC member. Thanks but no.

Creating a WC community on Orkut isn't bad.
In theory no, but eventually we may/will end up an all such sites, good and bad (sites).
Now tell me what the hell the difference is between what Zoomba Posted (on the front page WC news mind you) and what Himangshu posted is? Please, I'm dying in anticipation to see how everyone can justify treating a so called "community member" like this. Why didn't anyone treat Zoomba as they did Himangshu?

The community is owned by me. Until I get enough evidence of being a WC member of an ORKUTian, I won't allow him to join.

If people want to establish other skinning communities outside our virtual walls, all the more power to them. The more places we talk about skinning and UI customization, the better. There's nothing wrong with expanding to Orkut, or MySpace or any other place. There was no need to jump on Himangshu for what he tried to do.
However Himangshu, making the group on Orkut exclusive, not letting people in unless you explicitly know they're from here is against the nature of what we want skinning to be. You made an exclusive group that only people you choose can join. In this way, you aren't expanding the community, you're not helping it grow, you're trying to make an exclusive enclave. Because it's exclusive, it rubs people the wrong way. If you opened up the group to anyone who wanted to join, things would be taken a lot better.
Also, if it's a group exclusive to Orkut members who are already on WinCustomize, what will it offer that WC itself does not provide?

That's my head ace to allow only the members of WC.
Really don't know why. Don't know why people like - Black Xero, Haptork, mak2cool is joining my community.
What should be right wording?
Don't know any thing about ORKUT? Then why are you taking so much interest in this matter? Just ignore it.
That's very good. I also don't do so.

Hey Himangshu, no offense, but it is statements like this that are rubbing people the wrong way.
It implies that even though we are WC members, who are not familiar with ORKUT, so not members there, we are not welcome. Implies we have to already be a member at ORKUT to join your community.

Sorry, if I've heart someone.
Every WC member is welcome there. But, to join you obviously need an ORKUT account.
Those who don't know about ORKUT, please read - http://www.orkut.com/About.aspx

I think most of the people here are confused about orkut.
Orkut is a social networking site by Google. It is popular in Brazil and India mainly.
In India most of the people use it to get connected with old frieds.
Here is some info directly from orkut for you all--
orkut is a community of friends and trusted acquaintances that connects
individuals through a social network that grows person by person.
With orkut, you can catch up with old friends, make new acquaintances
through people you trust, and maybe even find that certain someone
you've been looking for everywhere.
orkut helps you organize and attend events, join communities that share
your interests, and find partners to participate in the activities you
most enjoy.

No thanks then...I already have WC for discussions.
