Is there going to be an early signon bonus like at mywebattack.com when then went to the subscription model. The first people to sign on within a timeframe got a lower price per year for the first three years, in that case $9.95 per year. It might have paid to illuminate some on what a subscription model is as well. Were/When do I sign up as they say.

Right now the plan is for the initial subscription price to be $19.95 and it may go up later on to either $24.95 or $29.95.
Regarding unlimited downloads:
Object Desktop users and WinCustomize subscribers both get unlimited downloads.
So what does that mean for non-subscribers/non-ODNT users? It means that at a certain point that after a user downloads X megabytes of skins the site will begin requiring those users go into a single queue and wait for their download to be served.
For example
Let''s say 20 people want to download skins from this site and those 20 people aren''t ODNT users and aren''t subscribers, those 20 people will be put into a single download queue. This will decrease the bandwidth used by non-subscribers.
That said, we plan to have those with Apprentice access and higher also gain priviledges too so that people who can''t afford the subscription cost and gain benefits by contributing in other ways (creating skins, being active on the message boards, providing constructive comments, etc.).

Non-subscribers who have purchased software.....are thanked for that, but have to dish out more $ to have the "privilege" of unlimited access to skins/themes/etc that are DONATED to the site by creative artists who inturn ALSO have to pay......WOW!!!!!!

I''m already an ODNT subscriber and surely will subscribe to this as well, but I am curious as to what "priviledges" will be available to Apprentices, etc. as mentioned above.

I was merely addressing how generalizations like "some people just want everything for free" tend to alienate folks. I've known a lot of freeloaders in my life, but don't recall ANYone wanting "everything for free."
Like you, I don't want to see Stardock accused of a "scam," but believe me, I've seen Brad ridiculously branded a "traitor" (among other things) when he began shifting Stardock's focus from OS/2 to Windows.
Like stark, I'm just waitin' for Brad to give me the high-sign from the subscription page.
