Pay for this?
Wednesday, June 19, 2002 by sheptheman | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
After jumping through all these hoops - do you actually expect people to pay for this crap?

Ah....well nicks being what they are, and 'JAFO2' being a tad too confusing with yours truly [and of obvious intent], I'd say his post can stay, but he cannot.
Say 'bye-bye' to JAFO2...

You are a more patient man than I BoXXi. If it were me, I'd say, sure, they are entitled to their nasty opinion, just not to the bandwidth it takes to express it. 
Hat's off to all admins and their infinite patience.

motion...it's one thing to hold an opinion, quite another to be quite so openly antagonistic.....had he a nick of his 'own', then he'd have a right to a 'voice'...

We know there is only on Jafo, Jafo...not to worry! And to the admin, I agree, hots off...because you are right, everyone is entitled to their opinions. The people who "bash" any site I just look at having way to much time on their hands. I have come across place I dont like, but I also think, I am sure there are people who do. And I move on. When it comes to threads like these, I usually like to participate or readthrough because they ARE funny. You guys ( with the few exceptions ) are to funny and it is great to read the post and get a good laugh for the day! You all have been very nice to me and very very helpful and you don't usually find that on most boards, ir you get a response at all....I love this site....Keep up that fantastic work!!!

I would like to make a few comments here.
JAFO2 did not logon to steal or to mimic jafo's account. he had logged on quite some time ago as JAF0 with a zero and not an 'o'. JAF-0 if you will. There was no intent to harm Jafo. But to prevent confusion his name was changed my me to be JAF02. He had not been active on the message boards so it was not a problem.
Unfortunately his recent comments here caused a bit of commotion. This person meant no disrespect to our Jafo. But sadly enough, someone here (meaning on wincustomize) took it upon them selves to email bomb JAF02. JAFO2 has requested his account be removed so he does not receive any more email bombs.
Hence why you will no longer see his comments here as they have been removed.

What's an email bomb? Well, think spam. Okay, got that? Now think about receiving that spam multiplied by a thousand.
Not nice, I tell you.

If you like the person or not, e-mail bombs are nothing to smile about. They can, CAN bring nothing but nasty things to people and sites. I have seen first hand what a bomb can do to a site, it took three days/nights to fix it.

Until this thread I had never heard of "email bombs". Sounds a little extreme.
I guess my Norton Antivirus or Norton Internet Security is useless against such attacks. Now that I know about these, how do I guard against them? Is there even a way?

I thought that my exiling JAFO2 as promptly as I had would have saved him from spamming due to his comments.
As with spamming rippers, it doesn't achieve anything but to lower one's self to the level of the miscreant, so whoever did the 'bombing' would be better served to desist.

theory....
how come the people who start these threads never have a skin that they designed on there account?
And this "email bomb" doesn't sound to nice. And it sounds like a good way to get in trouble.
BTW:
has there been allot of problems with the 100mb limit download? IMHO I thought it was too low to really experience the site. Some skins are large in size and before you know it you have 100mb. I think it should be 200mb so the people who are exploring can really explore.

100 mb! Thats about 70 wallpapers or 300 windowblinds or 70 logons, a ton of object bars, about 40 winstyles. I think 100mg is about right. How many times does a person get in line at a store for the free samples before the clerk says thats enough?

I don't Joe, 100 megs is quite a bit. Especially when you are talking about someone who has not even contributed or bought the programs! It might be different if skins and themes were only found on this site.
I checked my stats, you can find out by clicking on you own name. I have sucked 320 megs and I have been here almost from the start. But then again I have 3 t-shirts, a CD, OD subsrciption, a renewal, and a WC subscription! Does it really hurt to give back a little...

I guess. 70 wallpapers is allot. But what if the downloader was tasting bits here and there? 20 wallpapers, 100 windowblinds, 5 objectbars, 10 winstlyes and so on.....
Well... just a thought....

I dunno. 100 meg seems reasonable. I've been around here since nearly day 1 and have sucked down 220 meg and I download like a fiend, including multiple downloads of the same items
And like Bill I bought some CDs, subscribed to OD for 2+ years and so on...

Besides, I refuse to enter into a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
Incidentally, I have removed one post today, but that was because it contained profanity.
