Reply to Ratings in general and Screenshots ratings particurarly in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have always looked at Screenshots as 'mannequins' that people use to show what they have put together to customize their desktop. It gives people an idea of what skins to combine and how they look in combination with other skins (not of the same suite) Why they have been given a rating button is beyond me. As Jafo said, maybe it will be better if only admins would rate them, or just remove the rating feature from it. [Message Edited]

For the most part as a skinner, we all look into downloads and ratings. Aside from the fun of skinning and the enthusiasm of sharing our works with others, downloads and ratings are the reward for the majority of us. Keep in mind that not everyone here gets paid for doing this. If I had a paycheck for skinning, I couldn’t care less if I got a '1' rating and 10 downloads a year. So ratings are a big part of the compensation of our hard work and time. I can understand a skin (not counting

Reply to Skin sites on auto pilot? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I have done my usual strolling around other sites. Some of which I'm a active participant or have my work displayed, and aside from WC, DA and SkinBase which not only moderators but owners as well are in constant touch with the artists/subscribers, the rest of the sites are pretty much left by them selves. A couple of new ones as Stephen mentioned are coming along real good. Never the less, it is good to know that the power sites are doing their best to keep the others in the loop. Keep
