You read the thread again Joe? 
I think everyone has to be displayed, but then again there is a policy behind it. OOOPS, I meant every work
From what I have learned, luckily the average (latest) rating is taken for displaying, and not the rating given by the moderator. (that is if the work gets 2 or more rates)
It is a bit disturbing if visitors get the 404 very frequently, and let's hope the new equipment bought from win subscribers will solve this. There was a thank you by Frogboy, I thought that was cool.

Hey NecroticisM, from the words of Eddie Murphy's "Family Barbeque" stand up routine circa 1983: "If you don't like it, get the fu*# out!"

you guys are such stupid idiots...
this site WAS free and still SHOULD be free..thats why people like it! We don't come here to have you lamers act like you're beter tahn us and diss us. This WAS a kickass site...but for the last month I haven't downloaded a single thing...always get the server busy message..
I wouldn't mind clicking on some more banner ad's or some shit.. i mean that would be cool and the site could get more money because less people would go elsewhere...
I think this WinCustomize+Stardock thing was bullshit I liked both things way better before
And if you people are going to go "OMG NOOB" or "THEN LEAVE" or "THEN PAY" or some other stupid dumbass remark, don't bother, cuz I don't care and I'm not gonna even read it

OK...a question then: Is it policy to try to let people buy Wincusto subscription by showing the 404 to visitors, or is it the result of so many people having premium access? If it is a result, what are the actions that will be taken to make visitors being able to access Wincustomize?
I upload work to this site and want it to be seen by visitors too.

If a user is receiving a 404 error then it is a legitimate error/bug or the server is actually way too busy to process the page.
There also is code in place that if the the number of current visitors surpasses a specific number during peak times that non-paying visitors may receive periodic server busy errors in an effort to reduce the load on the website.

i just wanted to thank everybody, including the people that suspect a conspiracy behind a busy server and the people that have nothing better to do than getting upset about this.
i am still amused reading all that. thanks for taking your precious time to entertain me.

one suggestion: in most message boards i have seen it is possible to have threads that remain "sticky" (always on top) in the board. how about creating a thread titled:
"Server busy?, 404? Your questions answered."
or something like that, explaining the whole situation?
from my experience: i am neither an Object Desktop nor a Wincustomize subscriber, but i rarely have troubles accessing the site. i am from Europe and probably don´t come here when there is rush hour in the US. so i guess trying to come here at a different time will help for most problems. i never got a "server busy" message, but on the other hand i do not download files from here very often.

I have been on this site on and off from day one when the site first opened , I never had any problem D/L any thing from here.. I too got OD for the 2nd time and I love it., That the server is busy at times means only one thing to me, It tells me that other love this site and that the admin's are going their job's.. Just my 2 cents ... Keep up the great work guys

I have to admit I did not know that visitors just see works that are 7 and above. That has its good points as well as its bad. I personally feel it has more bad points. If anything it should be 6. Just above "average" if that is the object of having such a system.
as far as artist submitting free stuff and stardock using them is, as I have written before, a 2 way street. Stardock gets more skins for people who bought the software and others. Artist get to practice thier art and get thier name out there. Artist will get better in time, and so will the product (hopefully). This is not the big corporate monster beating on the little guy (artists). Many artists get a whole lot out of Wincustomize and Stardock for providing a STABLE place to hold thier work AND a STABLE software to work on.
Once again also I would like to state that it would be better to have more facts or something to explain what is happening. And calling people names in a title of a post probably will not get you the answer you want (if you were looking for an answer in the first place)
