Skinner of the year award proposed...
Tuesday, October 11, 2005 by Cyberworld | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
This is a proposal...and this is how it works...
Every year statistics from all the categories are collected in WC's servers right? I mean you do have the capability to show how many downloads one author got during one year time frame right? Sooooo why not collecting the Top 100 Authors of the year and do a public poll on them,meaning let WC's members (not subscribers only,unless you wanna make this one more incentive to sign up) to vote which of the 100 think is the best of the best!
Special prizes can be given to the Top of the Year Skinner (maybe a WC year subscription) along with a special Top Of The Year 2005,2006 etc shield to go with the awards.
Well what ya say? Is it possible? Is it a good idea?

All sounds great.... maybe you could take the top whatever and have a nomination process to add new skinners and such to the list to be voted on.
Even if the powers that be at WC and stardock don't like this whole idea I'm sure they are at least watching, listening and taking it all in

He also makes appearances in the Stardock Support Forum under a psuedonym. Hope I'm not blowing his psuedonimity.

From an observers point of view: Subscribers only! The quality will be top rate, for the most part.
I personally do not download from just a creator, never have.
Know what I like and download that only!
I look at everybodys stuff, that's my favorite part!!!
(I have caught the bug, maybe next year (I might be entering)

As for top skinner of the year, it should be by vote not download counts. Just because something has a lot of downloads, doesn't mean it's the best
Have a shortlist for each category based on popularity. Then, one vote per subscriber in each category to find the winner of that category, and the skinner with the highest total of votes becomes the overall winner. There would have to be a small prize for each category, and something juicy for the winner.
