Downloading problems??
Sunday, May 16, 2004 by Decayed_Katze | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I dunno if this is just me or if this is how WB now has this site set up. I go to download something and it takes me to a new window that says, "Thanks for enjoying WB and all our stuff blahblah now subscribe to us and send us money." Do I have to send in money just to download a windowblind's skin now? I dun use everything, I just ike modifying the look of my computer. Just wondering, if that's the case I'll work on something myself and just let other people pay for their stuff.

Well, I came back after all, for good reason...
Yes, I heard you well Spydy. My take away is that having "class" requires constraint and deliberation and I think that`s worth striving for. That`s to everyone`s benefit.
Decayed_Katze: my apologies for being pissy about it.

Slipped through underneath the radar....
[sometimes you miss some]
Decayed_Katze ....unfortunately, nothing much at all is really free in this world of ours....everything has its price.
What Wincustomize.com currently has in place is the facility for new visitors to the site to 'sample' a significant amount of the skinners' creations before being asked to help those skinners and their fellow fans/users to contribute in some way to support the high cost of display and dissemination of their works.
A high-profile site costs a high-profile amount of money to sustain, but it reaches and services far more people than the typical 'private' site could realistically achieve....and that benefits the artists/skinners directly.
$20 dollars for a subscription isn't all that difficult, not when it's to 'enhance' the $500 computer with the $x weekly/monthly net account, etc. It's just part of the 'cost' of system customizing....[even ignoring the cost of the application software needed to actually alter the interface itself].
Any 'negative vibes' you may get in responses to your comments will be due to a feeling of 'pique' that others are being asked to support your enjoyment of the site when it is your enjoyment thereof that 'should' be prompting you to dig in and help, too...
