Should WinCustomize support IM goodies?

AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Instant Messenger, etc. have all kinds of interesting "goodies" that you can download of them. Avatars, Emoticons, Winks, Backgrounds, etc. And probably even more than we're thinking of.

The question is, should WinCustomize have a section to support these kinds of things? Let us know.

I'd like to see Stardock come up with it's own IM client.

No please. I come to WinCusto for WB skins, IconPackager sets and CursorXP themes. If I were at all interested in Avatars, Emoticons, Winks, or Backgrounds (which I'm definitely not), I'd got to a site like deviantART.com or something.

Yes, Vince...but you're biased....

[good to see you, BTW]...

if you want a section for total spam this would do it.

I have a website with some interesting warnings about IM and Yahoo messengers. I won't put a plug in for my site here, but there is a lot of viruss out there, and also trogens and worms being written for IM and yahoo messengers. So I would be careful what I added for a potential dangerous program. Just a thought !!

An IM section with different subsections for various images or plugins would be nice. Personally I vote for having a gaim section.

I vote against adding IM client skins and associated frou-frou. It seems like there are so many clients, and so many other items to go along with them that if you wanted to do it right a better idea would be an entire dedicated site. Would there be a section where folks could share their scripts for advertisment spamming?

Mr terry696 - I don't see what harm can be in adding skins for the IM programs. After all we have a screensaver section here - a section many were against. But the new section would just host skins that's all.

Yep go for it!! I kno that the pot is bubbling with creativity at WC, so lets see wut the elite skinners can do for us. I usually go to Link

for all my MSN needs, but I know that skinners here can do alot better then that. So lets get skinning eh..

I don't use IM very often, but I would like to dress it up when I do use it. What ever the majority of the subscribers want. Go for it!

Brad,

Have mercy, no IM stuff please! Leave that to the Mess with Messenger-type sites - there's plenty of them out there, besides winks and nudges are eye candy for eye candy's sake unlike skins which we all know can include productivity enhancements, etc.

OK, OK, I know that argument can be shot full of holes - from all kinds of angles, but, but, this is such a nice community and, and it would be really sad to see it go the way of the likes of Mess with Messenger, sniff.

I think it's a good thing to add new things to the site, but I also think it's time to separate them into sections with the Stardock related skins and another section with galleries for all the other skins, graphics, screensavers etc.
