To WinCustomize
Sunday, November 24, 2002 by wizzz | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Let it be known that if you make it so difficult to download skins people will go else where to find their windblind skins. i know because i get my skins else where now. that stupid error to busy and cross reference gave me the run around, but not no more. i have found better sites that will give me better support so you can have and keep your sight. good luck and so long

Wincustomize has a thriving Troll export program. I bet the 'better sites' love the refugees, lol.

Ah...woops!

There have been a few posts about the server being busy and yet I have never encountered the server busy.
I come here all times of the day and night and the only error I ever got was the victim thing.
Is it possible that the ppl getting this server busy might be a result of their ISP connection.

An easy cure-all to many log-in problems and download issues is to purchase the subscription to the skinbrowser.

Bakerstreet, He has an Id # half of what I have, so he's been around for a long time. He should have seen this busy error before so it shouldn't have supprised him. So he must be close or at his 100meg cap. Hadn't seen that nick before or it was so rare that I don't remember it.

This is a great example of the system working as designed.
I am not sure why people think they are doing the site a favor by using its bandwidth. If this user had simply registered WindowBlinds he would not face these problems.

I guess he won't be getting any of MY skins then, as they are exclusive to this site at the moment.
hmmmm..... maybe that's a good thing for him! lol

He mentioned cross-referencing accounts (presumably SD and WC) so perhaps he is a registered SD user? Other people have mentioned the same problem even after they cross-referenced their accts. I previously suggested deleting WC cookies to one poster see if that would help, but I don't think anyone came back to say they did that and if it helped one way or another.

One of the neatest things about purchasing something from Stardock is that it gives its customers an actual website where they can participate and give input and even submit their own works and it also allows a dialogue and interactivity with some amazingly talented folks from all over the world who do some pretty dang incredible stuff. Can you just imagine being able to talk or interact on a forum with Claude Monet or Pablo Picasso? Well, I’ve been a Stardock customer since 1995 but I’ve always been rather shy and kept in the shadows and it’s nice to finally get to interact with so many talented individuals and get feedback as well.
My vacuum cleaner cost 350+ smackers and do I get this kind of enjoyment and fun and a forum to voice my cleaning skills ()?
Object Desktop is a steal…and I’d pay twice that much for what I get.
It’s only right and fair that paying customers are going to get better service…that IS the natural way isn’t it?
Wincustomize never advertised itself as a “freebie” site…I liken it to a “try me” site that still gives plenty without need of payment… now…is that so awful? Bandwidth IS damned expensive and if you love a place so much that you suck down everything you can gobble all the time don’t you think it’s only fair that you do your part and contribute by at the very least purchasing the skinbrowser (20-bux…I mean c’mon).
Okay, I’m off my soapbox.

*Small correction* I meant since 1997, was thinking of windows 95...and cross-dyslexified myself.

sig... I think some of these folks claiming they cross referenced, haven't a clue what that really means. When ask what they are cross referencing, they go silient.
