i WANT this resolved.......

Friday, November 16, 2007 by Vampothika | Discussion: Community

 

 

when does a community skin become a community skin when the community is not involved? Where was the post to inivite skinners for harmoney and whitefire2?

there wasnt a post, it was created by maxstyles crew (and maybe a secret select few from the community) 

 

and yet, suddenly its a community skin?

 

to me, a community skin is when someone posts they want to make a community skin, and people are allowed to volunteer their services to the skin.  The WHOLE community knows about it....(unless they live under a rock) its not a secret and suddenly released as  community skin.

 

yet again i ask, why is maxstyles skins being promoted as community skins when its clear that they are not.

This isnt a flame against Maxstyles.....I just am totally confused.........

I believe Jafo answered the question by stating that is WAS considered a community skin. If I have followed this correctly you were told the position was already filled. Hence the fewer openings part due to it being a smaller project.

Yes, Phoon got it right.

With the likes of 'Heavy Equipment' there were still only finite opportunities/places for skinners...and once eg a Winamp skinner put his hand up there was no opportunity/place for a second one.

It was therefore NOT open to all comers...but more first in best dressed.

In that respect I do not see vStyler's as any different...

Bug.. had you asked for psd's to make your theme you would have gotten them JUST like everyone else who asked for not only permission but psds also.. was granted, I turned down NO requests. Anyone was free to make a skin for harmony and still is. I turned down NO one..


Fair enough.

Kitty what difference does it make? What stake do you personally have in which suite is labelled what? your making FAR more out of this than needs be.

As far as Im concerned PLEASE dont ever label anything of mine Community again because lord knows I dont want the community definition police coming down on me again.

Well I think, despite kitty's 'over the top' approach , that this is a question that needs to be answered. It seems that there are several opinions as to what constitutes a 'community skin' and to be honest , I agree with NT , and Harmony isn't one. But this needs to be discussed, not bitched at. She's not doing this much service.

The Harmony suite was put together by the community, it was made by members of Maxstyles AND the WC "community" it was made FOR the community...


I'm a little confused here. If it's a community skin for the community then why does the community have to pay for it?

did YOU see any posts about volunteering to skin it?


Is that a pre-requisite? and if so.. under who's law? When you own the company..you can call the shots and reserve the rights.

what difference does it make if Harmony wasn't a free blind? that has no bearing on whether or not it was a community effort. vstyler didn't have to allow anyone to make matching skins for secondary apps but he did. if he hadn't, you folks would be in here saying he was being a bully and wouldn't let anyone use his psd files. get over it! the skin wasn't free. others are.

if NT (sorry Craig. i'm using you as an example in name only ) wants to post a premium blind and others make secondary app skins, more power to him. i'm all for skinners making money if they can.

Well then how can it be called a 'community' skin if you choose who to add and leave out?

maybe we could be less confusing

Harmony WB is not free and is not a community skin
Harmony Suite was made by some people from this community and some that are also members of maxstyles
all others elements in this suite are free
