Bye bye WinCustomize

Monday, October 1, 2001 by Snowman | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

In light of the plans for resctricting users full use of this site I'm sad to say that I no longer can see myself as a user/supporter of this site anymore!
To bad though, just as I was getting like the site!

But I cannot support a site that expect you to empty your wallet at the frontdesk before using the site!

I just can't stop wondering about how all the other sites manage to stay alive without "paying" customers. And don't bring up the impressive logs you show off each month as an reason. Other sites are able to show equal logs at the end of the month, so that's not the reason for these restrictions!

Community site, my foot! *PUH*

I really hope the future users of Wincustomize also will upload their great art to the other (FREE) skinsites!

Snowman turns around and walks away!

and yes they dont pay if you're getting a penny per thousand but then you wouldnt have to deal with the middle man (ad co) so the profits would be much much higher. Also software companies would be a good target for that kinda of niche marketing.

Hehe, well if banner ads were economically feasible, we'd definitely go with them. But having an ugly banner on every page that would slow the site down for people (banners add 3 to 5 seconds to a page download for a modem user) would need to generate quite a bit of revenue to be worth it.
