Apocalypse_67
Saturday, July 26, 2003 by EventHorizon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I was reading a thread that requested a wallpaper with a 'Ship in a bottle". As the reminded me of A_67's 'Bottled Voyage', I did a search through the walls but came up with nothing. I then found his SN in the commenst of one of my walls and clicked it and View Authors Skins...Theres nothing there... Am I missing something? Has there been an error? Or has he left?

apocalypse, you inspired me to do some of my work and man, i hate that your gone, but hey things change and WC has changed dramatically. i dont know whats going on here but this site has lost the heart and soul of quality walls these days. the originals are hardly ever seen and when i started here 2 yeasrs ago, the wallpaper library was at 1516, now look at it, its huge and the walls have gotten less quality and character. also no one seems like they are original anymore except for a few. man we will miss you and i went to your site, and its layed out very nicely. are you going to let people upload to your site? just a suggestion cause with your permission, i would like to volunteer. thanks again for everything.

luciousbeast just pointed out one of the issues, though. We get *many* posts about "why didn't you let my wallpaper in?" and "Why is there moderation on wallpaper?" So, as soon as we decrease moderation, we get posts about "what happened to the wallpaper section quality?" It's a no win situation. The admins/wizops have tons of discussions on it, and there is simply no way to make everyone happy.

I see a big problem headed our way with regards to the walls,and to a lesser extent things like object dock icons(which I love)the increased influx of walls is pushing WB's and DX objects off the newest additions list so fast you will miss some unless you go searching for them.Seems rough treatment to the guy who spent 40 + hours on something to see it knocked off the list by stuff that sometimes only takes an hour or two.My second WB is almost finished and I almost dread putting it up because of that and the ratings system.Would be nice if WB's and DX had their own list(hint hint) (truthfully I cant wait to put it up,...oh the ego...)

After seeing the posts of Diane (goodmorphing) I said to myself, enough is enough.
When people are convinced about their right (as opposed to wrong) then nothing will change.
There is an underground war going on for nearly two years now at the MB and now it even spreads to DA.
If you are interested in my point of view about it then read Adni18's https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WC&id=171683#toppage .

Lusciousbeast, thank you for that comment. I too have found inspiration in the work of many artists here, amoung them, You. Thank you also for the interest and the suggestion for my webpage. At the moment its an unfinished proyect, its not even registered. I created it for the sole purpose of posting the designs that were not passing moderation here at WC. But If I decide to expand it, I will surely keep your proposition in mind.

AP67 - I am impressed with your level headedness. Perhaps I misjudged you (I hope that is the case).

Brad, if you read carefully on all the posts I have ever made in WC, you will find that none of them carry out any type of offensive content. Also they have never been made with the intention of creating any type of feud or ignite any 'war of words' My posts have only been an extension of my concern for any given issue that I perceive. Maybe the object or purpose of any of my posts have been lost in the sea of bad remarks and/or mockery of others, so a misjudgment it’s usually the outcome when all this ingredients come into play.
The respect that I have given to every artist and user in this site is the same respect I have gotten back in the many of emails and comments that I've got since I joined this site. And for those who chose to judge me before taking the time to know me, I do nothing but turn a deaf ear.

A67...I have been kinda soaked up in this soo called soap opera and I watched how you have been tossed around in this melodrama.
You've been a class act on how you handled the situation on your end

Elvee, indeed this has been a very difficult debate and the issues in discussion are open to many type of reactions. I have posted my concerns and I stand 100% behind every word I type. I can’t speak for others for I do not control their emotions. Each person has a voice and they use it as they feel necessary. I share the view and understand the motives for what my friends have expressed, but my comments are mine alone as are theirs.
It is in every human's nature to express or react to any given situation, sometimes we get overwhelmed and frustrated when we try to get a point across and it’s not taken under consideration or it’s under minded, so frustration turns into ire and it escalates from there. And in the end, not only was the issue in debate not solved, but now you have all type of resents to deal with.
Again, this is just my opinion.

I hope differences can be put aside and some sort of solution can be found. I am in the middle with it all, I agree on some of your points and also i agree with some of what Brad says, Lady A, GA and yourself are very talented artists. Hopefully when all this blows over and a middle gound has been sought, everyone can get back to having fun again
