why even bother

Saturday, July 20, 2002 by Yobhsi ma | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I liked coming to this site to get skins, mostly icq skins or wallpaper backgrounds. But things like limiting us on our d/l's isn't really fair. I mean I have an account, but I haven't bought ne of the programs that u have to buy, but this shouldn't b a problem, You should b able to d/l as much as u want.

I see the point in making an account, but makin us buy software that we probably don't like or will never care to use just to get unlimited d/l's from here, isn't really what I'd expect. You should have a limit on ppl d/ling if they r a guest but you shouldn't make ppl buy product's just to get wallpaper's or icq skins or skins that other ppl want to share.

I'd admit this site has some great wallpapers, but making it where we only have a limit on what we can d/l makes me go to other sites, that way I don't have 2 care about having to buy a product that I will never use. I've used Windowblinds and really, I don't care 2 much for it. There r some great skins, but for Windowblinds, it keeps messing up XP.

Y don't the ppl that own this site just do what other sites do and just let u d/l what u want, other than giving a limit, making limits makes me give this site a lower ranking than other free sites.....but maybe it's just me.....

Indeed. A user of a website is not a customer. They're a user of a website. What leverage does someone who doesn't do anything but use bandwidth think they have? The leverage one has is directly proportional to their contribution to the community.

Yer gets nuthin fer nuthin .....
I'm not that good at skinning anything ( in fact I'm bloody hopeless!)and am most impressed by the talent of all contributers.
My tastes vary as to what I would rate higher or lower but that is a common freedom.
A subscription of US$20.00 (roughly A$40.00) is small change for 2 years worth of the talent pool ........ shame that the dregs of the Gene Pool can't understand basic logic!

bkboy sits here 22 minutes trying to remember the last time he got something really, really good that was absolutely free of charge after all the dust settled. bkboy gives up , and goes seeking guacomale with bad rootbeer.

Perhaps people keep posting these same threads because if they do it enough, they might be upgraded to a level 3 status.
