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.

most of us don't have jobs and if we do we use them to pay for a house/car/morgage/insurance.....
and there's others that don't live in the stated where the ammount we have to pay turns from $50 to $150 or more so that's gonna be a problem suckering people to pay (if you want a fast server make a scsi server running a T1 or T3 line)

. Most of you don't jobs? What planet are you on? Most people do have jobs.
That said, I fail to see why one's ability to pay should determine whether others should pay for them. Someone has to pay for the costs of a given website.
The server is too busy messages are a simple fact of life when you have more people that want to get on than the servers can handle. Life's not fair. Some people apparently haven't noticed that factoid yet. People who pay for a product, good, or service is going to get first dibs on any non-finite resource.

Malikai, when you say "most of us don't have jobs", just who exactly is "us"? I'm not sure that you're speaking for the majority of Wincustomize users. How do you pay for your Internet access every month? How did you manage to afford a PC in the first place?
These things are luxury items. If you can't afford them, then you don't get to have them. I'd like to have a boat and a high definition TV and maybe spend a couple weeks in some tropical paradise, but I can't. I have bills to pay. That's just the way it works. Just because you can't afford them, doesn't mean they should be free, or even cheap.

Well I work for a living and when money was tight I spent my money on necessities and not on luxuries I couldn't afford and didn't really need. And I didn't bitch about it, because that's the way things were. When someone gave me something for free I appreciated it but didn't expect or demand it as a right. Always, someone has to pay the bills.
There's an expression, "beggars can't be choosers" so take that.

but the fact that you have to pay to download pictures off a site is isane and you have to make an account to add them the way i look at it is if you'r making a site to put out pictures then do it right

You don't have to pay to download anything. You could contribute to the site in some other way. Instead of spending your energy and effort complaining about things that you don't fully understand or don't want to accept, you could be contrinuting positively by helping others on these boards or posting some of your own work. I believe that both would eventually provide you with the unlimited downloads.

Kenny,
They could charge a lot more for their products. I'm sure that you work hard at whatever it is that you do for a living - so should/does Stardock. The point I am trying to make to you is that you do not have to pay to download skins or pictures. You could choose to contribute positively to the site in other ways, as stated above.

Malikai....Wincustomize.com is what you get when a site's financial management/support IS done 'right'.
Perchance you have reached the 100 meg limit where you are now being prompted to support the site and its community in some 'helpful, contributory' way rather than merely 'take, take, take', with no consideration for those whose financial support /magnanimity makes this content available for all?
Oh....'plubisity' = 'publicity'....

What I meant to say was you certainly know how to whine and complain. How about taking some responsibility for yourself. You like the site, fine. Stick around and make it a better place. Contribute in some kind of way. You don't like the site, great also. Leave and find a site that you can enjoy elsewhere. I apologize for the above post - it slipped out entirely.

I have adequate social skills, just sometimes a problem with impulse control.
