Political Machine update to address critics? in PC Gaming PolMach Forums

I just finished reading Frogboy's Information Society post, here: https://forums.wincustomize.com/321098 . It got me thinking about something. I'm a bit of a political nerd; before I got married and my priorities were rearranged (I love you, honey!), I was much more of one. I think that TPM is a game I would like, but I've been reluctant to purchase it because of some of the points made by reviewers. So my question is this: Would Sta

[quote]My Colors is not free, it must be purchased.[/quote] Well, actually the MyColors client is free. And it comes with two or three free themes, Think Green, Quest, and another whose name escapes me at the moment. When you click the "Add Registration" button, the MC client will prompt for a serial number for the new theme that you purchased (not one of the free themes). If you're getting this prompt when you hit the "Apply" button, you may be experiencing some kind of bug; maybe you

Why are "Designs" and "Fun" distinct categories? in MyColors Stardock Forums

First, I'd like to say that the new website looks terrific. Somebody clearly put a lot of hard work into it. But there are two things that are bugging me. Why do you have two separate categories for "designs" (meaning not based on the IP of third parties) and "fun" (a subset of the same)? I understand the separate "holiday" category, as this is a well-understood and traditional grouping. But doesn't having a "fun" subcategory somehow imply that the non-"fun" designs are somehow trite and
