why do i have to pay to download now?

Sunday, September 7, 2003 by DesignDJ | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

why do i have to purchase a subscription to WinCustomize after 50mb of downloads, i upload and give to the site so i think i should be able to atleast download as much as i want free.
i just like to do stuff for fun and not have to pay for it, i dont want to buy a subscription!
do any of you agree with me?
thanks, Dan

You know I first came to this site last November. I uploaded my first CursorXP soon after. I purchased the CursorXP program soon after that. I talked on the message board and uploaded more cursors over the next few months. I purchased my subscription to the site after that when I learned they were having server problems and I wanted to help out as best I could. Since then I have made quite a few more cursors and few walls and have learned how to make WindowBlinds. By the way if it were not for a lot of helpful members of this site I never would have figured out how to make them. I now have Object Desktop purely by choice.
Now yes, my rank has gone up during this time but it is mostly because the time I put into the site. But also I never had to worry about what I could download because I purchased the CursorXP program way at the beginning. Hey, I was using it and making them I wanted/needed the full program.

OK, I am done with my little say on this.
Thank you very much.

I've been at this site since before it was called Wincustomize, back when all there was, was libarys at stardock.com. I've been helping people on the message board since the message board's creation, and I have purchased skin suites, cursor xp, a wincustomize subscription and object desktop. I never once complained about a cap on my downloads, or about problems with the site, because since the begining I have done everything in my power to help this site grow. My participation on this site was never questioned. That why I find it offensive when people ask why they don't get what I've paid for, for FREE. 50 Megs is alot of skins. You have more than passed your free trial period. I am now asking you, would you rather join us all and help the site grow, or leave? Those are your choices. You get alot for your money with Stardock (I can personally guarantee it). If you want a recommendation, go with Object Desktop (you get a lot for 49.99).
