WinCustomize Subscription Drive Begins

We need your help

Friday, September 30, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

WinCustomize.com is having a subscription drive. From September 30 to October 31 we are hoping to gain 2,000 new or renewed WinCustomize subscriptions. 

Stardock has hired long-time skinner Mike Bryant who is going to work on creating at least one (probably two) premium suites that will be just for WinCustomize subscribers.  In addition, WishX has been brought on board to help better coordinate efforts between the site development team and the volunteer moderators and administrators so that new features, changes, and bug fixes can be done even faster. 

On top of that, monthly visitors have increased from an average of 14 million at the start of the year to over 22 million now.  Those extra millions of users mean more bandwidth and more servers which is very expensive when you're at that level.

IF we make the 2,000 subscription goal we will also commit to adding some specific new features such as:

  1. Subscribers will be able to select their own "skin" for the site.
  2. An extra premium suite for subscribers
  3. Lots of additional new features for personal pages
  4. RSS feeds for select galleries

Presently, a WinCustomize subscription provides:

  • No Ads on site
  • Two Premium skin suites
  • The WinCustomize Browser
  • Unlimited Downloads
  • A WinCustomize Personal page with your name as part of the domain
  • A Personal photo gallery to upload images to.
  • And various minor features with more being added regularly.

A WinCustomize subscription costs $19.95 for an entire year.  Renewals cost $19.95 for an additional two-years.  We will be keeping you up to date on the status of the subscription drive.  In order to make 2,000 subscription we have to sell over 60 subscriptions per day.

Ok I am a current subscriber, what do I need to do? Also can think of an incentive so we can pass on to our friends?

I don't know like a free key ring or something

One "no frills" date to the movies will cost about the same as a WinCustomize subsription. What do you value more, a date where you probably won't get any, or two years of Wincustomize?

Hey Elessart! A deal for you. If you sit in front of your Web Cam and read Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" to me for 2 hours -- I will pay for your subscription. THIS IS NOT A JOKE!. Easiest $20 you'll ever make AND it's going to a good cause to boot. Also it's a damn fine read.

Hell I won't even ask you to dress up!
