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.

did you guys read the posts from that article, some guy said that there are ugly WB skins, they are art, you don't ever call someone elses work ugly... some people have no respect... I don't know why... but that really got to me... more than the other trolls do... errrr... my opinion is this... all of the windowblinds skins are good, and thre are no skinners here that I don't consider professionals... I look up to every single one of the skinners here... I want to tell them thank you for your hard work and dedication... and don't let anyone say you've done a bad job, because I like the works of every skinner on this site...

Anyone who would make such a claim is pointless to consider really, they do not count by personal choice and indicative by such an action in making such a statment...
Heck, I "KNOW" just how hard it can be to present anything for others to view. People in my family, my wife and children do not go into my sketch books that I have boxed up and under my side of the bed.It "IS" me, or parts of me on those pages, I'd turn out cartoons and such for the kids, or when younger, sculpt or paint something for someone at the odd time. But, the things, anyway...
no, it isn't right and personally it should pretty much be a free invite to not be invited..
There is a set process, something instituted before hand, people accept that and present things for consideration. It isn't personal rejection in the least for it to not be accepted, far from it. It could be a means of self exploration artistically, searching for new skill sets, a new style, what have you. But it is how things are structured and for a reason. For the most part from what I see on the site and also read here on the board, almost everyone accepts that. The fact that if what they are seeking is a wall-mill or some such, there are plenty of them out there and stuff can be posted to them at anytime, while still being a part of things here..
dunno...
I m just a newbie who is confused enough to think I have an understanding enough to form some kind of an opinion
anyway...
your right... people can be extremal ugly inside and share it outside placing it at others feet and not even understand it is a direct reflection upon the one bearing such negative presumptions.

da_zman: hehehe! Lets not get crazy. There are lots of very nice skins here, but there are ALSO some quite ugly ones. We don't moderate skins for quality, but sometime wish we did. :/
So, please let me disagree, there IS such a thing as ugly art. Give me a paintbrush and a canvas, I'll show you.

paxx is correct.....[check out 'Still trapped in Bryceworld' by Jafo....though that's intentional].
'Ugly' is a subjective term....'eye of the beholder' and all that.
Another person may find it 'the bee's knees'...just what they always wanted in a skin...

da_zman20,
There will always be people in society who like to approach things negatively. For them, is easier to say something is 'ugly' than to find positive aspects of it and then, starting from that positive position, work towards ideas that might make it better.
In life, and I'm sure everyone knows someone like this, there are those people who revel in delivering that which is negative. At my workplace there is this man who loves running up to me when I arrive in the morning, (even before I've had my morning coffee), and telling me about all the mistakes that I've made from the day before. He takes a sadistic pleasure in delivering the bad news. He thrives on negative energy.
The best thing is to move past these people. Let them wallow in their own negative ways. In the end, when they're taking stock of their life and they realize they did or said absolutely nothing positive their entire existence they may finally see themselves for what they were. It won't be happy day for them.

I only ever make walls for myself. There are just too many out there as it is to bother uploading. At least the small quantity this site has are of the highest quality. Some places you can upload absolutely anything...

It take a lot of hard work and many hours to produce a windowblind skin. So yes, I believe that all the works from all the artists are great. I may personally not like some due to the color or whatever but that doesn't make it bad or ugly. It just makes in not for me. That goes for all the works that are uploaded here. The people give so much of their time to make something and share it with others the least the rest of the people could do is be thankful and enjoy the work of others.
