Bullsh*t
Sunday, November 3, 2002 by Jadachris2003 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have been a member of this website for almost a year and a half. And ever since I have been coming here, I NEVER got a "Server Too Busy" error message. But all of a sudden, when they started subscriptions mind you, NOTHING can be downloaded and all I get is a "Server Too Busy" message. If you guys are going to turn this to a subscription only website, do so, don't toy with loyal members by putting up these BULLSH*T error messages.

Don't even have to buy a subscription. He could buy Object Desktop or get WindowBlinds or IconPackager or whatever.

I have a 3 meg dsl line. I am a level 4 member. On occasion, I too have got the infamous "Server too busy". So what? Why complain?
Sometimes, the server actually *is* too busy.
Sh*t happens. Life's a b*tch, then you die.

I guess you've concluded there's no possibility that the volume of traffic and use of this site has substantially increased in a year and a half, impacting both speed and access. (My experience in accessing this site suggests otherwise, BTW.) Perhaps WC bought another server (with that bs WC subscription money) just for a lark rather than actual need due to increased demand?
Have you contributed to this site by submitting skins? Do you have at least one licensed copy of a stardock app? (I take it you're not a WC subscriber.) If you haven't contributed in some such form then, by "loyal members" do you mean "loyal users?"

People sometimes just dont get it. Its not like we are getting payed to upload stuff, we upload for free. So the loyal "member" can get anything he wants with out contributing a single bit of time and now u complain about it. i have 4 words for you

I'm sure a Superhero can write a research paper in half an hour! I've seen how fast Superman can read!

If you ante up the few $$$ for a subscription you should find no dramas downloading anything via the Wincusto browser.

Still, I think everybody should be able to get our free submitted works for free !
If one is forced to buy a program or a subscription to get access to this site, my work wouldn't be free and the money goes to the wrong person because I don't get paid. That only applies to wallpapers and skins for free programs like winamp though. You can't have WB without having bought the program and then you should be able to access this site without the busy error, that's what Frogboy says. So watch out if this line is crossed

You don't have to buy a program or get a subscription to use programs or to get skins. You can use the trial version of WB's but your scroll bars won't get skinned. You can download skins from here, but because we are busy, you may get a server message now and then.
No one is forcing you to buy anything. If you want to be paid for your skins, open your own site, pay for the bandwidth, and see how many you sell!
If you are so intent on making sure your skins are for free, then just put them on DevArt or skinbase or artuproar, that way the *evil* developers of the software won't be making any money off you!
Sheesh!
