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

DJ, just like most things in life, you have to give in order to recieve. The more you give the more you recieve.
If you contribute more to the site, Im sure your download size will increase. But so far all I can see in your library is 2 designs.

2 uploads will not get you promoted............ complaining about reaching you D/L cap won't do it either. You don't have to buy a subscription, ANY Stardock purchase will work. You don't have to buy any Stardock stuff either............ you can earn a promotion other ways.

Did you purchase any of Stardock's shareware programs? You should be able to set up your Wincustomize account with your purchase info to have unlimited download access.

Just so you know, I noticed that if you are not signed in, you can download as much as you want...Might want to fix that..

Let me tell you all something. I didn't buy anything and got promoted, so the system does work. I'am a subscriber now because I like this site and I felt I should help it. Each person has to do what they feel is right for themselves. If you want to leach, leach. If you want to support, support. Everyone is free to make up their own mind.

DesignDJ....strangely the purchase of 'something' actually helps you as much as it helps the site.....Wincustomize gets assistance in maintaining its massive bandwidth and you get greater functionality with WindowBlinds [for example] and/or very extensive customizing [GUI] tools eg. Object Desktop....and access to a faster server making your 'enjoyment' of the site even greater.
Pretty darn good deal, really...

Promotion comes by colaboration to the site, either by contributing with skins/designs or by helping out on the message boards [helping those in need of information, aiding those that seek help with technical problems, etc]

DesignDJ, I helped people on the messageboard when they had problems. IE, can't load WB on my machine, how do I put a logon on, why can't I download whatever and so on and so on. Its participation on the MSGBD, not crying on it.Helping people who in turn learn and help other people.

DesignDJ, was not refering to you or anyone in specific. Was talking in general as someone in the past asked the same question, but all he did was cause trouble all the time and thought that because he was on the MSGBD a lot that he was contributing. That doesn't count. Thats why I said the crying thing so no one would think that counted.
