Merry Christmas!

Thank you for being part of our community.

from WinCustomize Forums

It's been quite a year here at WinCustomize.com.  The year started with a completely new system with new backend.  Like most rewrites, this one wasn't without bumps.  It took us until the end of Summer to get most of the major kinks out and we still run occasionally into the "server too busy" error.  If any of us meet in person, I'm sure the guys would love to talk about how unintuitive the coding techniques are for a site that gets over 20 million visitors per month.

But at the end of the day, a fancy site or neat features are beside the point.  It's about the community we've all built together.  It's about you guys. 

What you have created here is something special.  People from all around the world get together and share their creations with one another.  Whether it be a desktop wallpaper, a package of icons, a skin for your favorite application or your entire operating system, people have created some pretty wonderful things this past year.

So no matter whether you celebrate Christmas or some other holiday, on behalf of the WinCustomize staff, Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing your lives with us.  It has been a real honor for me to serve you in my limited capacity as admin/owner/whatever of the site. 

It's really a joy to be part of this community.  Cheers!

Merry Christmas Brad, and everyone else at Stardock. I have a feeling that 2006 will be quite a different year for me. We'll see.
Thank you for providing such neat software, and also for funding this VERY neat site, it really is one of the best on the net.
Good luck guys.

Indeed it has been a 'bumpy' ride this year Brad, but it has been a fun one as well, and Im very optimistic that it will only get better.
Thank you for providing this space for us artist/authors/developers to let our imagination loose and share our work with the rest of the world. And thanks to the community for sticking together thru thich & thin and their daily support to the site and their members.
May you all enjoy the holidays and a very happy and healthy new year.

Blessings to you and yours (whomever you might be). Together we can make the world a better place by simply letting go of hate. Let it go and be at peace.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you Brad, to all the Stardock staff and to the myriad people who contribute and/or visit this site. I am duly impressed by the effort put out by those who are responsible for keeping wincustomize.com running and the simply fantastic rapport Stardock has with its customers. Accept my meagre gratitude for all that you do.

Thanks, Brad........

The change to the new site has been a great success, considering the undertaking of coding, physical moving of Stardock, and all the large steps in updating the software.

I feel fortunate to have found the site, and to be able to be a part of the community.

Merry Christmas to you, your family, and the great crew at Stardock and WC - and their families.

Wishing all here at the community a great holiday season, and looking forward to interaction in 2006.

Peace and good will to all......
