What would happen if wincusto was shut down for a week?
Sunday, March 20, 2005 by joeKnowledge | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Just a thought, being that sometimes to really iinprove a site, you might need to shut it down... completely... so emplement new systems.
So, what would happen if Wincustomize shut down for a week? We could all go to XP Theme.com but then again, its database is the same as here, so if Wincusto goes down, so does xp themes.
hmmmm... what about putting up a rescue sit that just puts up the last 30 days of uploads and the forums?
I am just thinking of ways that wincustom can mutate into something it wants to be without everyone on its back while its doing it.

I'd imagine a lot of lost revenue for Stardock, so the likelihood of that happening is slim to none.

No you don't, unless a) you're a lousy developer; or
you've stumbled upon a major security/stability flaw. B is unlikely, or we would've seen it by now (sites aren't that hard to secure really), while A is unlikely as well, else StarDOck would have been out of business years ago.
Developement usually takes place on a different server and only gets moved to the live one once things are done.

"what would happen if Wincustomize shut down for a week?"
Pretty sure I would tremble for a while, then maybe get irritable, followed by dizziness and perhaps black out. After that, it would be all good, unless I hit my head on something when I fell down after blacking out.

I'd have to go to The Betty Ford Clinic for my addiction to WC. Been there B4. It works.

I will actually have a valid excuse to shutdown my PC
You mean there is actually an 'outside'
I always thought it was a myth

I think people may find they actually have
a real life to live.
But then again that may be such a scary thought
so lets hope it doesn't happen any time soon...

A day or two is fine even a week. If you need to work on the site then fine, go ahead see if I care. It's not like I check in here everyday or every other day, not at all. Sometimes I check in maybe once a week or twice a week maybe more but who keeps track? It's not like I know each wallpaper in the gallery by heart or anything like that nor do I keep a watchful eye on desktop themes, I wouldn't know anything about new or upcoming products or stay abreast of what's going on in the skinning world. Just don't shutdown anything to do with upgrades to windowblinds,Icon developer,skin studio,icon packager,fx or desktopx........ok. mess with those and there may be trouble.
