Anyone being paid for the Skins.
Sunday, June 23, 2002 by nethell9 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm starting to see a very unrealist deal going on with WinCusostmize. I've been download some of the skins and all of a sudden I can not longer download anything becuase I've reach a limit over the past few years. My question is. Are being payed for you skins by wincustomize.com? If you are not then you should be asking yourself that question, I should be payed for my skins. As with fileplanet and download.com they has set up an play by which those that wish to download from their site must either pay or basically never recieve the file. I know a great many people that create files and post it to those site for other to enjoy. Question: Are they reciving rolaities from the sells that are be generated from those down loads? I think not. I think those that post a great deal of skins to this site should request to have check sent to each month. Its just a trend I see.

Chris,
It seemed coherent to me, should I be worried?
Nice post.

what always gets me is the holier-than-thou attitude of people who have done something on the net for free. they ran a server for free. they let people dl files for free. they streamed this or that for free. so what?
open a restaurant and give the food away for free, and i'll be happy to write a letter to the pope asking for your sainthood. until then, put it in perspective.

I don't know.... I was reaing what nethell9 who started the thread and all I can say is how can you be on the site for years downloading "stuffs" and not have appientace class? If yu had ths class then you would not, I believe, hhad any problems downloading more "stuffs".
Further more, years is a prety long time using something that somebody programmed. After all those years of using there program (and the site and other peoples designs skins on your PC), how can any body be upset that you contribute by buying or at least interacting with the site?

Is this a new trend? There seems to be a lot of 'bashing' going on lately. How anyone can moan about paying a nominal fee for downloading over 100Mb of stuff is astonishing. May I suggest, citizen nethell9, you find somewhere else to go as I find you offensive. Your manner is insulting to all contributors to this site, as well as the people who run it. I have no objection to people who are unable to make their own skins downloading as much as they wish, but you sir are out of order.
BTW, I make my own skins some of which I've uploaded here. I make them for pleasure and my own use. I have no wish to collect a 'fee' from those who also want to use them. It is a part of my contribution to the community (Note that last word). I can assure you it is much more satisfying giving than receiving. The only reward I want from this site and this community is not having to listen to petty whining from people like yourself. >

But Fuzzy, don't you realize you're a victim of "The Man" holding you down? 
Unshackle those bonds! "The Man" is holding out on your rightful share of bandwidth and storage!!!!!
Protest by removing your skins and upload them to some God Forsakin' GeoCities site where they'll get maximum exposure among the 8 billion pop up ads and X10 Camera pop under ads. Then when they shutdown your website for exceeding your quota, move over to Angelfire!
Its the only way to beat "The Man"!!!
