Subscription Drive Blues?
Monday, January 12, 2009 by PoSmedley | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Are you watching that little themometer on the front page? Are you watching how slowly it's progressing? We're almost half way through the month, ya know.
I've seen some folks posting, saying that they are subscribed until 2020 . (Which is silly, when everyone knows the world is going to end in 2012, but I digest) Well, you shouldn't think there is nothing you can do. You went that far, right? SO what is one or two more extra years. (I was only joking about the 2012 thing...I think we're all good until 2031. At least that's what the little man who lives in my thumb tells me.)
What I am trying to say is this. You subscribed for a reason. Presumably it was many reasons and all good. Most of you probably even did so without being under the influence of alcohol or mind altering druggggg gg gs. You liked the site. You liked everything about it enough to shell out whatever you could dig out of your kids piggy bank, you're wife's slush fund, or your momma's nest egg. Well, you...YOU can help preserve some of what you liked about the site and assist in keeping it a 'community' oriented site as opposed to a 'commercial' site as has been layed out by Brad.
And there are lots of ways you can do this. Like I mentioned, add on to what you already have accumulated in your subscription. Force Brad to keep it going until 2069. (The little man that lives in my thumb says it's possible) Maybe you plan to rejoin with the mothership in 2015? No worries. Buy a subscription for the subordinate that you designate to stay behind!
You can buy a subscription for the future skinners in your family! Honestly, it's a cold hard world out there. DO you really want to send them off to college and life after that when they can sit in the safety of your home...forever...and skin with you while you both eat Cherry Garcia and watch House between skins? Don't let these Kodak moments get away from you!
By a subscription for your spouse! Do it! The wives need to back off the reality shows and as for the husbands...Baseball is all but dead and the SPike channel sucks, they just don't know it yet.
Buy a subscription for your boss! Then, when he's hooked, he can't get on you about all the time YOU spend on the site.
C'mon folks! You gotta use your noggins! Buy a subscription for Uncle Bernie who keeps sending you all that 'PLEASE READ' and "MUST READ" crap email, sometimes 16 of them a day. Get him hooked on Wincustomize!
Whatever you do, just don't think because you're subscribed for the next decade that you can't do any more. You can! Go another decade!!!!
Help to keep the site community oriented!!!!
Of course, if you're not comfortable buying a subscription for your spouse or boss...if you feel adding another year to your own subscription is just to capitalistic or someone might point at you and say that it's just overkill, I am willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and offer my services as a recipiant of a subscription. Yes, that's right. I have purposely let mine lapse, just so I can take the burden from you, brothers and sisters. You can buy me a subscription. Any one who wants to. All of you who just can't decide how you can help preserve the Community that is Wincustomize. Don't worry. You can't hurt me or offend me by buying me a subscription. And don't think that because someone else may have already bought me one that means you still can't. I'm willing to take on as many subscriptions as I need to, to help as many of you as I can. So just subscribe away. I can handle it. I'm your Po'. I'm here for you. I WANT to do this for YOU. SO go ahead...anyone...ALL of you...buy your Po' a subscription. DO it now. Help keep Wincustomize 'community' oriented.
You don't even need to thank me. You can do it anonymously. It will be our little secret. I'll stand in the fire with you. I'll take that bullet.
Preserve what you have subscribed to for the next year or ten years. Subscribe now!

Okay, we're getting way off topic here, kiddies. Let's not forget, this is about preserving WIncustomize! And the best way to do that is by allowing me to accept subscriptions from you. You know who you are! You know that I'm your Po! There will never be another Po' like me!
If you're sitting around waiting for Brad or Jafo to buy me one, forget it. They offered but I said 'No, brothers!' I did. It was hard to do after that special mushroom pizza I ate (I always get so sentimentakl after those special mushroom pizza's) but I did. I said 'It's time to let the the rest of the masses be heard! let them express their love for me for a change"
Jafo took it well, but I think Brad was a bit heart broken. But you can fix that! YOU! SHow him that by my forbidding him to buy me a subscruption, the community knows when to do whats right!
You can do this! And I won't have to resort to shameless tacticts, like exploiting skintwit or Zubaz!
C'mon! Let's go. Buy your Po' a script now! Step up! Get one on a stick!
Now, I'm gonna go smoke eat some more pizza and when I come back, I know some of you will have seen the light and done right by your Po'. And Brad!

Good idea on that change of mind... Smoking a pizza seems like a very silly thing to do, smoking MORE than one really must be unhealthy........

I didn't want to have to bring this up...but has ANYONE considered what the total commercialization of Wincustomize could do to the future of Troll Thumping Day!!!!!!???????????

You couldn't resist smoking that second pizza, could you?

I got a .....*snicker ....a 'woody' ?
Reply #73 Tuesday, January 13, 2009 10:29 PM
You also get free premium skins and such with a sub.
Reply #74 Tuesday, January 13, 2009 10:37 PM
I have an idea! Let's see if we can get me as many subs as Zubaz has Karma points! That would be a cool contest. And the person who buys me the most subs, get Zu's KP. Sounds good to me...lol 
Reply #75 Tuesday, January 13, 2009 10:48 PM
Yup, me too! I can see it now... TTDAY birthday cards; TTDAY get well cards; TTDAY congratulations cards, etc, etc... all with the Hallmark logo emblazoned across them in imitation TTDAY Green. Nope, no thanks, I'd rather we handle our own... like Po` does.
So, now that you've found a 'happier' alternative, does this mean you'll send ME that 12 month free supply of Viagra you scored from answering that Nigerian email???
Tell ya what, I'll do you a deal... send me that box of Viagra and I'll send you the addresses of those people most likely to 'cough up' when you send 'em subscription begging letters.
It'd be a win win situation! You'd get momentum going for people to donate subs, and I'd get a 12 month aid for my insomnia... taken with copious cups of coffee, Viagra will help keep my eyelids 'up'

I would, but I had a run in with some zit-faced assistant manger at the local cineplex and a I might...MIGHT have dropped them into the Icee machine. Let's just say that a lot of folks are gonna be confused over their bodily reactions to Tom Cruise in Valkyrie. As for the folks watchin The Day The Earth Stood Still, well...it'll just match Keanu Reeves wooden performance.
Reply #78 Tuesday, January 13, 2009 11:45 PM
Well perhaps you shouldn't have been in the back row misbehaving like that... people don't like popcorn in their hair and down the backs of their necks, so of course they're gonna complain to management... damn spoilsports.
The Icee Machine, eh! Good one... but the only people getting a woody from Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise...
IF he has taken Viagra.
A "wooden performance" eh! Haven't seen it, but in the previews it looks like he has a stick up his arse... which probably accounts for the apparent 'wooden' posture.
Don't we all... can play a guitar for nuts, but he's such a Wyld Stallyon.

I've always wanted to hear his band - Dog Star, so he can't play? damn.. well, he has... other ummm.. nice qualities

And I heard that he eats rose petals... to help take the edge off the curried cabbage.
