EVERYONE: TAKE A CHILL PILL...

EVERYONE: TAKE A CHILL PILL...

Okay, everyone who's been getting mad, upset, or whatever, please listen up.

1) This forum is for the discussion of skinning and skinning issues. Users can certainly about pretty much anything they like. However, thread hijacking (that is, going into a thread and making completely off topic posts over an dover) is prohibited.

2) Let's try to be NICE to one another. This site is overwhelmingly populated by adults. Let's treat one another with respect and kindness okay? If someone doesn't agree with you, debate is certainly encouraged to a degree. But at a certain point, if you're starting to get angry about it, you know it's time to back off. Whether it be politics or religion or whatever, it's not like any of us are overlords of the universe who get to set universal policy.

3) Melodrama. One of the things I've seen lately is an increase in melodramatic behavior. The forum shouldn't be used as an outlet for one's psychosis or histrionics. If someone wants to create a thread about something completely off the wall, that's fine. But personal emotional melodrama getting interjected into other people's topics must cease now.

I will not be exiling people for violating this. Instead, I will be setting people's access to visitor which essentially removes their ability to post.

Let's get back to talking about fun, interesting stuff in the world of skinning, customziation, computers, technology, whatever okay?

Thanks!

Brad Wardell
CEO of Stardock & WinCustomize

Thank you, Lady Akaska, that's a load off of my mind.
BTW, I'm not a "gentleman" I'm a "lady", too. A 48 years old Grandma.

Anyhoo, I'm glad things are ok now.

I still think a somewhat structured messageboard (more like a forum) would solve some of the problems mentioned above. I am still for combining this board and the newsgroups into a real forum to make things easier for newbies. There is the newsgroups (which not many people frequent lately imo) then there is this messageboard (that I don't consider as so much of help for a help-seeking newbie because all threads are thrown together. Just my 2 cents.

sig101 and feline, you are absolutely correct about getting product support on this site. If there is an issue, it needs to be directed toward Stardock Support. The boards are helpful for how to configure products (Basically how to use features) or things related to how to skin or make themes.

Paul Williams: "wow! he must have moved up in the world. i did not realize he was CEO and owned this site."

Stardock is a privately owned corporation. It has always been owned by Brad Wardell (Frogboy). WinCustomize is owned and primarily funded by Stardock.

Thank you, Brad. What took so long? We all need a reality check, from time to time. When the "head man" says cut it out, then; "cut it out"...

I've been pretty busy lately over at GalCiv.com (https://www.galciv.com). The forums there are even busier than the ones here. Then I start looking over here and there's all this melodramatic nonsense and topic hijacking and just an undercurrent of meanness. Can't have that.

Brad, I took a chill pill and it's brought me out in all these purple-blue lumps. I prefer lime green, so could you make a custom colour version of the pill?
