WinCustomize is one great place
Thursday, January 13, 2011 by ZubaZ | Discussion: Community
I just got off the phone with one of the master skinners from this site.
I needed some pixels pushed (because I'm a no-talent hack) and sent a private message a few days ago asking for some help. I got 25 images sent back the next day that were over and above anything I could have asked for.
Unfortunately, because I described what i wanted poorly . .they were not useful. I PM'd again apologizing and describing better what I was hoping for.
Not an hour later I get a PM with a phone number. We spent two minutes talking about the image and anther ten jsut talking.
Now . . I've been on teh internet since there were only BBS. I was a Compuserve member and then a AOL and then . . well . . I've been around a while. In all those years though, in all the sites I've visited, only one has reached across the cyber-space into meat-space; this community.
I've made real friends here that I've become closer with over the past ten years than I have with my neighbors. I've even had skinners over to the house and gone out to dinner with.
Crazy? Yes.
Cool? Also yes.

and didn't bother to pick up the check, I heard.

Since posting this, two other skinners have pm'd me with phone #'s. I'm afraid to call them in case they are sex lines. 
More proof that WC is more than a website; it's a commmunity of friends . . . not all of them crazy or hill-billies either.
Po: I hate. Can you feel it?
