The Quest for winCustomize Subscriptions.
Saturday, December 6, 2003 by horizon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Ok, so this is set up to help get the site new drivers once enough subscriptions come in and you have the money. Question is, do purchases like windowblinds, desktopx pro, etc... help the site, or does stardock get all the money from those things?

Give me 3 good reasons why I should?
So I get a sub... that makes me a level 4 person who still gets no respect?
BTW - your comments were not needed. Nor apreciated.

1) You like WC (including the message board) and wish to offer support.
2) You USE WC (including the message board) enough to think about chipping in with some support.
3) You want to see WC continue to be the site we all know and love.
I could go on.

Never said I would say no. Just makes no sense to buy something I will not fully enjoy.
I do not buy a DVD and only watch half a movie. So why buy a sub that I will never use fully?
I will never rate. The programs that come with the sub will NEVER find there way onto my PC. (I try to linit how much StarDock is on my computer. I like the plain old Luna Look)
It would be easier to just tranfer 20 to 50 bucks to Brad and remain a level 2 with my stupid icons, witch I might add i am happy with.
If I got as much respect as say Jafo or Feline or Apoc I might have a different veiw. I know respect is earned. I feel i have done better here.

Hmm... I don't really feel like waiting to mail things etc.. [which I'm more than willing to do 
] so can anyone [admins?] e-mail me @ [email protected] and perhaps we can set up an account for me via my paypal account? 
- I know I know, I'm one of those "need results now" kinda people - but the sooner I get you people the cash you need, the sooner I get my subscription - Everyone wins here 
hehe - If not, no biggie... take care all......

Odd... I only want a subscription so I can download more wallpapers..[lol]... The programs themselves hold no interest for me hehe... Maybe I'm a minority? hehe.. [just a thought, since most people seem to purchase a subscription for more than the basic wallpapers]

Well because I use style xp once in awhile and DLs are free over there.
And to be blunt, I do not want any more StarDock products. I have had my fill. The dock is as far as i go.

kona, if your not going to use any stardock programs, then don't buy any. If your going to camp here at WC and download things and post on the message board, then a subscription wouldn't be to much to ask.Even if you don't use it.

The browser has a message board section as well as access to Stardock chat channels, you know. Anyway what is the dif between a donation and a subscription that you never download? And, IMO, arguments like these are the sticking points to the *respect* issue. Even silence would have been better than this slap-in-the-face approach. You know people here have deep feelings for the place and will rise up in an instant to defend it. What price is a little silence? Especially if it buys you peace.

Kona, my point is, then why claim that you want to help out when it's clear that it's really not worth the effort to you? You think talking about it is the same as actually doing it? A number of people subscribed (myself included) not because they use all the features that come with a subscription, or because they get this or that treat, but because they want to support the site. That's what it's about, not whether or not we use X or Y or want to rate or not. It's to support the site. Period.
A lot of *your* comments are not appreciated, Kona, as you well know. And sometimes some of us who usually ignore your BS or try to be understanding (as I have been) just lose patience. As I did in this case. Don't want to subscribe, fine, don't. But don't go on about how you'd like to help and then lame out. That's just BS. Don't like to be called on it? Don't do it then. Simple.

silence was my course until you opened your mouth.
I did not start this argument; you guys asked a question and I answered. If you do not like it i am sorry.
Even blunter: 20 bucks is better of in my pocket than Brads.

I originally subscribed because the site was having bandwidth problems last yeara and needed subscription money to purchase more bandwidth.
Since that has been done time and again, with the site going from turtle speed to a bearable speed, I consider it money well spent.
