Frogboy's Wallpaper article
Sunday, February 2, 2003 by cjorli | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
"You visit most sites that have themes and skins and you'll notice that have a gazillion wallpapers. You come here and you see fewer than 3000. Why is that? It's because we reject 9 out of 10 submissions."
I for one appreciate the hardwork that the moderators do on this site weeding out submissions. I have seen wallpapers that I personally don't think should be on here, but that's not my job and I wouldn't want it. So let's not start crying every time one of our submissions gets rejected. Look at it as an opportunity to grow.
As a side note, is there a time limit to how long each submission stays on the site? If there isn't, wouldn't that also help keep the numbers down... that is to delete after x number of days? Just curious...
Thanks goes out to the moderators.

When it comes to wallpapers, I'm not very good. I've only ever uploaded one to this site. I removed it of my own accord. Not because it was horrendously bad. (although it wasn't particularly great either). No, I removed it because it had run it's course. It was down to receiving less than 1 download per week on the average, so I made the decision to remove it.
I'm not suggesting that other's do this. However, if people do have walls up that are no longer receiving downloads you may want to consider removing them. For the sake of tidyness, if nothing else.
Just a thought.

hmm, im hardly making walls now as seperate downloads. The only time ill make a wall now ive decided, will be one to match a windowblind that ill make or theme related so its a matching kit. Im starting to dislike some of my walls appart from theme related sets, actually prefer scenery to be honest.
It really annoys me how WinCusto admins receive threatning emails from people who have been rejected, thats just over the top, no respect there and that will get you a bad rap.
WinCustomize is the best skinning sites going about, with a great bunch of people including admins, it is a skinning site and should stay that way.
Probably only reason why so many sites are mobbed with walls as there so easy, if you know what yer looking for.
I would love to see people that do walls try windowblinds but not rush them, plan them out, as i think thats where the real skill comes in, have an artistic eye on a GUI, would be nice seeing 2854 Windowblind skins rather than walls

Do you mean to say that some are so full of themselves that they revert to the self humiliating act of actually sending emails with threats to the operators of this site?
seriously?
seriously?
kthxbye

wow, I mean, intellectually I can look at it and see it happening, and probably find a number of possibilities as a driving force behind such an action.
but, on a whole it boils down to one growing up and dealing with their issues without projecting them upon others...
umm
lol anyway....
kinda blows me away...
I made a comment to someone in ICQ about "some being down right ugly" I should have validated the meaning behind that by following it up with the fact that I was talking about people, not the creative work... people can become very ugly, inside, and project it for the silliest reasons, which even they seem to miss seeing...
ahh.
ok back to wackybobo for me

OH loads and loads
It is actually supposed to help with my right hand fomr what the doctor told me. The tendons and ligaments are a bit shorted in my right formarm and also the back of my right hand. I had an oopsy back in the 80's and they had to re-attach things
Ladders, Glass and Saw Wax for cutting Aluminum do not mix well when you throw flesh and lost balance in the mix
