That's Wincustomize Wiki... and individual sites if your inclined to see more of a certain skinners product. His art.

 

It's a FORUM about skinning!

Yeah, I checked it out.  It's another forum. There's a million out there but, you don't see them advertised here....

 

And if it's not free massive advertising, of the exact product he's using? Enlighten me.

That's another post from a member about other skinning sites....nothing to do with the WC wiki.

I don't understand your problem with this thread and I have no idea what the sentence above means.

It's his first link. I didn't just pull that out of the air. You should return and check that out.

to me at least, these forums cover a lot of ground of which much does not have to do with skinning. I think the majority of us support the WC side of things because that is the showcase and the programs offered is just as important. The forums, not so much.

I have to click to get here so clicking on the "skinning community forum" link instead would be no different. Think of WC as the trunk of the tree with all these other sites as being brances off of the trunk. WC is still supported, it has to be.

Irokoness...it is a skinning site for skinners and skinning fans. We are not selling anything. It does advertise WinCustomize and WindowBlinds, and other skinning products made by Stardock, and others.

 

What you see wrong in that I'll never know.

 

I must say, it's this kind of attitude that is ailing WC lately. Come on, guys....lets once again be ONE SKINNING COMMUNITY!!

Promoting skinning is part of what WC does.  We support other sites and even other, competing products.

I'll be the first to say that I want as many people to know about skinning as possible.  The skinning apps pay my bills.   

I'm looking forward to where this goes.  I'll pop in to see what's different (because I have same here).

Good luck guys.

And because it needs to be said (although it shouldn't), if you don't like it, you are free to move on.

I like that Greg.

OK, that's rude, right thar. Name calling is exactly the kind of attitude that starts wars.  And I've seen a few good ones here. 

Who knew RedneckDude would try to lead a revolt. 

on Jul 03, 2012

, you are free to move on.

Oh I'm not going anywhere. Unless you kick me out. But, what would be the reason? Hmmm nope just stated my opinion.

I think a lot of it has to do with personality and flavor of the individual sites. The ones that don't delevope either fade away. Others go away for financial reasons or they just get tired of being hacked or spammed. I remember the beatings Skinartistry used to take from spammers and hackers and that was a good little site with a very distinct personality that was fun and supportive and it wasn't always about skinning.

I don't believe anyone thinks they can or that anyone wants to take anything away from WC. On the contrary, I think they see WC as a role model and just want to put their own spin or flavor on it because they can or because they might feel they can't here. (Just look at some of the negative comments in this post over something that hasn't even gotten off the ground and doesn't have a fraction of the financial support or backing that WC has)

I seem to recall (I don't feel like looking it up) that part of becoming a Master and/or Journeyman here was how much an individual contributed to the ENTIRE skinning community and specifically pointed out sites in general outside of WC. I think starting one to offer skinners and would be skinners options, help, tutorials, etc. etc. (where they may feel more comfortable in a smaller community without all the negative stuff that you find in any large community) certainly qualifies.

Plus, I just think it's brave and bold and daring and a hell of a lot of responsibility and the folks who make the effort should be commended for doing so and not discouraged or have their motives questioned.

The internet is too damn small and the skinning community is even smaller for there to be any damn animosity or BS.

Revolt....really.......wow...I did that? I have called no names, and I will be a WC Dude as long as WC is here and that isn't gonna change.  Enough....   I will sideline myself a bit before this gets out of hand.

 

Thanks to Zubaz, Neil, and all you others who support the ENTIRE skinning community.

on Jul 03, 2012

I concur with Po.  Animosity and BS that is. 

on Jul 03, 2012

Time to settle down, kids.

As ZubaZ implied, WinC is for skinning and about skinning. If someone/anyone starts a skinning related website they are more than welcome to drop a note about it here.
End of story.

Further arguements can/must be taken to Private Messages.

Revolt..

Relax. If they were referring to you I am sure they meant 'revolting' and you should be used to that by now.
