Well this sucks.
Monday, December 29, 2003 by nowayinheck | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I am fairly new to winCustomize. And thought they were a nice family based site to download quality wallpaper and the what not.. Until I get this today! "Error: Server too busy
Due to high traffic the site is currently dedicating its resources to
customers who have either purchased a WinCustomize Subscription
or any Stardock product.
Tired of getting a "server too busy" error.
Then support WinCustomize by subscribing to WinCustomize today!
WinCustomize Subscription Info - Buy Now! "
Im sorry but I find that to be an outrage.
Seems these days, you cant do anything without someone wanting you to pay for it....

it amazes me how many people complain about the practices here at wincustomize, yet they are attacked as being freeloaders, and no one ever listens to the valid statements, so close minded around here its ridiculous. I agree with the original poster they suck you in hear then start gradually forcing you to pay for crap. just plain decieving

Yeah!...They damn near broke my arm when they sucked me into turning on my PC...and then they used the chinese water torture on me when they made me go to their website knowing I would get sucked in...Oh the humanity!!! And I could feel their hands in my pocket when they forced me to get out my wallet and pay for something that people spent countless hours putting together...the nerve of them!!!....And then day after day I am forced into downloading all this cool...uh...I mean... all this stuff I just hate to see and use...when will it ever stop!!!

Hello Nowayinheck
If you can not get it to work with out buying a subcription then email me and I will be glad to get one for you to help support the site. I have had a great holiday and made lots in tips slinging drinks and after the first I will be a 4th year intern which means I will get paid to work instead of paying them to teach me
All I ask in return is that if you get a chance to help anyone out in anyway you do so even if it is just to make someone smile on a bad day.
email: [email protected]

Hmm, popimp. There is a site that sells roses. You don't want roses? Don't purchase them. You won't get them.
Go to Ebay. You want a product for free there? Try complaining to Ebay why their auctions aren't free.
Instead you come here. A site that you obviously like and you want the company to give you their products for free. And you insult them and their members because they won't give it to you for free. And then, you wonder why you get negative feedback.
Many people have tried to explain, in a positive and constructive manner, the economics involved in maintaining a site which is financially supported by revenue received from its members. It's called capitalism. The most successful form of bussiness known in our time. And the U.S. is the riches nation in the world because of it. Maybe you would prefer communism where people starve and are persecuted. Or dictatorships, like Saddam Hussein or Hitler, where people are persecuted, burned, and families butchered.
Instead you come to this site, of all others, and expect the company to change their successful business and give you everything for free and bankrupt themselves. That is not logical. It would be the same as a retail store that gives away all its products for free. This is a business my friend, with friendly business practices. And, I for one, like many others here, are proud to share and be a member of its community. If you are not, please stop this nonsense, and go somewhere else. Like many have said, you are spoiling it for everyone else.

I'd be interested in hearing an actual solution from the original poster.
If there is X bandwidth/computing resources and there are Y people wanting to use it where Y > X then what should be the determining factor for deciding who gets access to X?
Someone is going to get locked out. It isn't a matter of IF, it is a matter of WHO.
So who gets blocked when the servers meet their limit?
