In support of the skinning community...
Wednesday, June 13, 2001 by hoverboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I know that this may not be a very popular notion, but I would gladly pay a monthly fee to be a member of this site if some premium services were offered to paying members. I pay $4.95 a month for a site that plans and keeps track of my workouts, and I've payed monthly membership fee's to several other sites in the past, but this is one community that I'd have no problem supporting via a monthly fee. I dunno, cap the download limit to 10 MB for non-premium members and give us access to some beta goodies, or something like that. I'm not saying to start charging, but what I am saying is that I for one would be first in line if you did AND it was a resonable fee, like the $4.95 that I pay elsewhere... Flame me if you will, but I don't want to see another great skinning site go by the way of the dodo because of funding issues...
... on a side note, I'm moving and am no longer able to keep this email address, but I can't find out how to change it in my profile... any clues?
just my 2 cents, let's see if we can make a dollar...

The worst that would ever happen is if WinCustomize CDs, T-shirts and other things weren't able to pay for additional bandwidth we'd just begin removing non-Stardock sections which would be the worst case scenario. But we're not anywhere near that sort of thing. If we can sell 500 CDs or T-shirts (any combo) per month, then WinCustomize can get more bandwidth that will take care of speed and such. And with hundreds of thousands of people visiting each month, that's a pretty small total.
The loss of Deskmod came as a shock and we're all just having to get used to the increased useage and at the same time the need to add sections to support more apps sooner than expected.
In "web years" WC has been around for what seems like forever. It's good to see that even if the model has changed, the site is still here.
ZubaZ looks forward to the future of WC; the past has been a blast
I may need to look into a t-shirt to support the site. That way you'd only need 499 more to pay for this months usage
