What the hell?...
Monday, January 5, 2004 by milktm | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
what the hell is going on with this site? Not only have I had to register for the third time in a couple of months (second time in a matter of days) because every time I try to log in, for some reason my email is "not on the db", but now, I can't even check out new skins without downloading a piece of software for which I have to pay?... Hello! Sorry, but if WinCustomize becomes that painful to use, from something really good only weeks ago, then I'll get skins from somewhere else. I don't want to have to pay for a software just to download the odd WMP skin. This is ridiculous.
Sorry about the whinge, but this site has been driving me mad for the last 20mins trying to log in, register, find something, and at the end, I have nothing... >

you know I almost tried to get worked up on a number of points you presented starting this thread. But for the life of me I can't because one thing keeps popping into mind.
You haven't subscribed, you will not subscribe and you just want to suck up bandwidth even if only a little at a time. Thing is, like cheese cloth, all the little pieces of bandwidth going out to you drain the bandwidth away from those of us who do support the site.
Then you want to complain?
well I can't seem to care in the least about this thread or it's content. it is the same thread with a different topic typed in on a different date by a different person but it is still exactly the same as all the others who only want to download and complain it they can't.
have a good life
I hope you find what your in need of out there on the net

Let me get this straight - before, you could download skins and use without ANY software? WOW! That's really amazing! How do you do that?
Oh, and BTW you might want to try READING before you post

Web sites sometimes have problems. Like server crashes, etc. It doesn't last forever. There are worse tragedies in the world. It's not like you're out of pocket. As you noted, there are other skin sites you can download from so feel free to use their bandwidth.

I've never posted before but what milktm said has prompted me to. Instead of whining about your inconvenience because the server went down and the database got lost, you should be supporting all the skinners who have to now reupload their skins. And, none of it is the fault of Wincustomize. I think people should stop and think about other people instead of themselves. Wincustomize and the skinners are the real 'victims' here. People like me who browse and download are merely inconvenienced. And for that I want to say thank you to Wincustomize and all the terrific skinners out there for their patience and hard work. I do appreciate it.

Just think of all the bandwith that could be saved if only people that payed for subscriptions. (like me and many others) If you haven't payed for a subscription then you have no room to complain. This site made i'm guessing a little over $11,970 from the subscription drive. Even that is not enough to replace the servers that have crashed.

s45tr, you and milktm do not even deserve to be called Leeches
Go somewhere else and leave this site for the people who actually support it
Those of us who do support Wincutomize actually care about the current situation. What can you do to help besides complain about not being able to download for free > Where is your contribution?? Have you subscribed, uploaded any skins?? Probably not, so take your opinion with you when freeload off another site

I'm gonna charge s45tr and milktm for the download and use of any of my skins, and then they will see how expensive it can be. 
Be gone and search for those 'free' sites that will make your life much happier.
BTW, if a person is gonna go to another site, what is the non-sense about announcing it??
It aint as if these two cartoon characters represent any meaning what so ever to this or any website or community.

Just try to ignore the hapless individuals who demand all and give nothing.
Eventually they realise they are on a different social cognitive level than those who respect Wincustomize and its current problems and will leave us in peace.
Try not to vent your collective spleens on them through frustration...
bye you two, don't be coming back...ya hear

Dammit Kona...I told myself it was wrong to pick on you...your a 'subscriber' because someone gave you a subscription.And I wouldnt keep bragging about having 'created ' any skins.Please get down off your high horse,It's not pretty. And please give the "I was so bad" remarks a rest.It gets old after the hundredth time.
