Reply to WinAmp 3 boycotted? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Jafo, I respect the creative work that is done within the confines of the Winamp Jail, but those confines aren't what makes it popular, i don't think... Lets be for real, for a lot of skinners, it's the downloads that count, what the papers call "egoboo". you could do the worlds greatest Coolplayer skin and get 1000 downloads over a week, while jafos new "BritneyAmp" will get fifty thousand downloads the first day. that is where winamp, wins out, in my humble

the "loyalty" in the subculture to the little rectangle is real, dude. it always bugged me that the most popular mp3 player in the world was not freeform, but thats how it is. crae's "sheep" comment is probably pretty accurate. There are those among us who work Really Well within that confine, and it is for sure, a "subculture". a confusing little metaphor for the whole genre of skinning actually. here is this great art form with (in most cases) no limitations. then, h

i think a skinset based on your website would be a wonderful advertisement and branding tool. anyone with a 3 digit IQ should be able to adequately explain that to the board members. i would bet a nice opening offer of 2000 dollars would get you treetog or essorant, and if they wont, then you might get alex. of course, they might want a bit more for all those extra functions, but hey, once you paid, everyone in the company would be on it, and it would pay for itself in inc

Oh, and does Anyone read my Editors notes? Please let me quote myself again: "This all leaves Deviant Art, Skinbase.org and Wincustomize.com as the only real players in this field. It has been positive to see the addition of a few favorite smallware apps to the listings at Wincustomize, and we wish all the best in the world to DA & Skinbase." Is "Real Player" a slam? www.teknidermy.org

Ah, Doreen, my Knight in Shining Armor! Frank, Frank, Frank. (notice the three repititions, like in the Bible...I really want your attention). THere is nothing aristocratic going on. THere is nothing elitist going on. One day, I thought to myself, "Hey, I wonder if there is enough interest from these skinners for them to have a magazine". and it turns out, there is. Most professions have a "trade" magazine. As Migellito so eleoquently points out in his refere

Mig is right. Tek is a mag for working artists. That was laid out very plainly in the "Proposal" i published before Tek even became a magazine. We welcome John & Suzie Download with open arms, but the magazine is "for" working skinners. Anyone notice that a young german fellah posted a note to the Deviant message forums this morning, trying to find a copy of Greybook? To him it's still relevant, to me it's still relevant, and to Tek it's still relevant.

being quoted is fun. watch this: "Skin site: a site devoted to skins, & skinning, without regard to download or upload count; a website devoted to the art of skinning, en toto." i was asked for MY definition and i gave it. now watch this: "While i have a love for this site, and a respect for it's interaction in the community, it cannot stand in the same class with Deviant or even Skinbase, because it does not attempt to." the optimum words here are "SAME

Zath, the deragatory slang term "Cracker" is almost exclusive to the USA. you have not been mislead, just watch the usage if you happen to find yourself in Jonesboro, Ga, or knoxville, tennessee, or Biloxi, Mississippi, or any place like that...
