being here since early '04 I well remember when you were more active here.... 

still, we've all been keeping the home fires burning, but it sure would be nice if the boss, the instigator of all this, softwarewise.....and provider of all this, communitywise... showed interest in our little corner of the Stardock world...

Been enjoying your posts and looking forward to more info and interactivity... 

yup.

I remember saying to you in 04 -05 that your presence and input to the site was needed to make Wincustomize/Stardock a more informative and user friendly experience, and that is still true today.  In recent times there have been many unanswered questions about the future of some of the apps we love to use, and how we will receive them post-Impulse, and hearing directly from the CEO with regard to the more important questions can only serve to improve customer relations.

Sure we have Jafo and Island Dog here as Stardock representatives, but since the departure of Zoomba to do other things, details on the future of things re: customisation have been sketchy at best.  At least when you were more involved we had ideas on what to expect... and when.  Sadly, that has been lacking of late, so yeah, Brad, the greater your involvement the better for those who have a vested interest in all things WC/Stardock.

So, to your question: "Am I a Stranger to You Guys?", no, not exactly, but if you could prioritise a little more of your time to WC, then that would be nice.  And no, you don't have to hang around all day playing silly buggers with the lunatic fringe [and there's a few of us here] just so long as you're here to keep us informed, that's all.

Remember, what separates a great company from a good one is when the owner/CEO lends a more personal touch and shows their customers that they do in fact matter.

No you are not a stranger. You are the guy who runs this place. Just like in all places of business, every once in a while you show up and ask for everybody's input then you go and do what you were going to do anyway.

you're the guy that posts posts like this one on occasion. One can only wonder.

Draginol, Frogboy, Brad Wardell... I know who you are, I even know where you live and where you work.

Same here wizard1956!

.....just unmarked bills into a plain paper bag and put it in the left-luggage locker - Grand Central station ..... and we'll get along just fine.....

I know you as Frogboy, not Draginol or that other dude. I joined in 2006 and after a bit of an unwilling hiatus I'm back and skinning again. Brad....listen...you're the Boss and this place wouldn't exist without you, Island Dog, Jafo, Zoomba and everyone else. To be involved on this level, down and dirty in the trenches so to speak can only improve on what already exists, the comraderie, the lunacy and most importantly on our need to know what is going on with our beloved home away from home. Do what the others have suggested, visit the forums more often, hit us with your ideas, hopes desires as we do. Being one of the lunatics (like starkers) and perhaps not a great skinner, the Masters take care of that part, it is my sincere wish to see, hear more from you. So...that said.

WELCOME BACK TO THE FRINGES OF SANITY. Starkers will be at the door, hand out, with the collection plate and Po The Smedley's hand in his pocket. LOL

You're the guy who parks his Porsche in the handicapped spot because it's funny.  (Yeah...I guess to me you're kind of a stranger, but I'm pretty hard to really know, myself).  Thanks for making Windowblinds, though.

You're the guy that writes those interesting Customer Reports.

I seem to remember you releasing some skins back in '98/'99

Are you that french guy?

um wait..  so your not a bot?  

Your that guy that used to work out of a really small office in Livonia..    

I know who you are.   You are the Man who can make things happen!    So I have to ask will the new download software for Object Desktop be OS aware?

Am I stranger to you guys?

I just really read your lead in! Are you wanting to know if you are stranger as in weider than you were before or were you wanting to know if we all felt like you are a stranger to us? Very STRANGE!



Howdy stranger. (cue sound of boots and spurs walking on wooden floorboards).
