New Subscriber Intros
Let us know who you are.
Wednesday, October 19, 2005 by Lantec | Discussion: New Users
Just an idea to throw out there....what with the subscription drive going on.
How about a Sticky for new SUBSCRIBERS to intro themselves. You see this on a lot of the sites out there. Something to give people a way to kinda ease into the community without having to worry about stepping on toes or feel like they're intruding into threads, etc.
That kind of post might be able to catch up to Xaltec's "Word Association" fairly quickly.
So for you noob SUBSCRIBERs post a little something about yourself. You know....real name, bank account & credit card numbers, SSN, home address, etc. (just kidding)

Hello Everyone. Nice to meet all of you. My name is KtSmiley. I am from Colorado. I am a 36 yr old female, married and have two kids. A full time job and part time college that takes up more then part of my time. hehehe
I have actually been looking at WC now for about 3 or 4 years now. I started looking at the site when the wallpapers were less then 600. Before the site was changed I used to be able to see how many were added since I last looked. What are ya at about now 7,000? Anyway, I love to look at all the creations. I have made quite a few things on my own, but nothing very fancy. So I thought it was about time to become a memeber and learn a thing or two from eveyone else. I never became a member because there are a lot of things I don't know how to do and felt too dumb to ask. We I have decided I don't care what I don't know, I care about what I see and what I want to learn. So if you don't mind answering questions, I don't mind asking them.
Right now I am going to college to get my bachelor's degreen in IT so I won't be on frequently until I graduate. I have a full time job and after school activities keep me pretty busy when I don't have homework. But I do look as often as I can and I would enjoy getting to know some of you because, I think several of you are pretty talented. Well sorry about the book, hope to talk to you all soon.

Hi Everyone. I see no one has posted to this thread lately, so I thought I would 
I just joined yesterday but have been looking around the website and reading for about 2 weeks.
I have been online since October, 1996 and went from a DOS based computer straight to Win95. Talk about a shock! I am now running WinXP and plan on keeping it til I am forced to do otherwise.
I am from NC and am a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Meaning I am licensed to take in and care for injured and orphaned wildlife. I have been doing this since the early 90's. Due to some health problems, I no longer take in wildlife, but I now run a website where I help people find licensed rehabilitators for the injured and orphaned wildlife they have found. So I spend on average about 14-18 hours a day on the computer.
Needless to say in the past month I have become sick to death of the Windows XP Classic blue task bar at the bottom of my screen... it was screaming to be changed to something other than what Windows was offering. So a quick search on Google brought me to Wincustomize! What a find it was.
But as with everything I do I needed to do some research and a lot of reading as I am just not one to download just anything and run it. One would never believe some of the old programs I have that I "brought over" to WindowsXP from Win98.
So I finally bit the bullet and installed WindowBlinds yesterday and so far have not been disappointed at all. I have found one quirk but have been able to search in the forums to find the answers on how to fix it if I have to do so. One other thing I have found I think is my fault and will play with changing skins another day and see if closing all of the open windows will fix that problem. It seems some toolbar icons from an old skin want to "hang around" after a skin has been changed. But I will figure it out or I know where to come and ask for help!
I know this was rather lengthy, but wanted to say howdy to all of the talented and most gifted artists I have seen on the internet. My hats off to all of you because I have not one artistic bone in my body.

Hi I m Utkarsh Bhardwaj,16 from India. I m here since one and a half years and now got subscription through talk and win. I am smart and dashing, love to play basketbal. This world of skinning and programming looks too much fascinating to me. I wanna be a master one day. DesktopX is my favorite app as it can do almost everything through programming. Till now I've made DesktopX themes, CursorXP suite with trails Fx n sound, DesktopX widget and love to make a wb skin in future. Tiggz, Boxxi, Gef, Vad_M and RomanDA are some of my favorites but I love every author who works in his unique and distinct style. Thats all for now.

Hi there all. I just joined up on the weekend, purchased the full Object Desktop suite, and have been having a great time ever since playing with the tools on Vista. I just love to tinker endlessly with the OS, so this is like heaven Too bad I have a day job to distract me.
There's some incredible skins, icon sets and themes. The talent and effort shown here is truly impressive. I'm currently using the Stingray theme and still can't believe how freakin awesome it makes Vista look.
Cheers!
