From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

For what it's worth; Stardock is not Wincustomize and WC is not Stardock. 
Stardock makes the apps.
Wincustomize hosts the skins and forums.  Some of the skins (the most popular) are for Stardock apps though there are many galleries for non-Stardock apps (Winstep Xtreme is my favorite one at the moment).

The software Stardock produces doesn't need WC (although if all we had were the skins that came with the apps and what we created for ourselves the world would be an emptier place).

Carry on!

AS it says Stardock Forums at bottom of page and you seem to work hand in hand thought there was a closer bond than there is then. Still it works well which is all that matters at the end of the day.

1. The forums are where I go first. I feel like this has become my extended family. There are plenty of people here with a wonderful sense of humor. When I'm reading a post, I often find myself laughing out loud in a very quiet room. My husband and kids usualy ask what I'm laughing at. I read them the post and soon we are all laughing. In a way, these forums have brought my immediate family closer together and gives us something to talk about and share.

2. There are so many people here that are so helpful. When I've gotten stuck on a project, all I had to do is ask for help. Even the simple "yes" or "no" replys to my questions taught me something. So, if you do not know something...ask, you will get lots of help!!  

3. The main gallery is where I go next. The quality of the work that is published here is amazing. The sheer effort that is put into the skins, walls, etc. is daunting sometimes. Someday, I will be able to achieve the "awesomeness" I see there.

4. The site itself is a breeze to navigate around. Anything you want is just a couple clicks away. (don't need to say much more than that, right?)

5. The subscription. No ads!!! What more can you ask for?? Get as much stuff as your heart desires...unlimited downloads!!

If you dont have a subscription...It's really worth it to get one. Win it if you can, or purchase it. You won't regret it!

This has been a lot slower than I thought it would. Hard work giving away subscriptions on this site. I was more just trying to help push it along more than win anything. I'll deal with becoming a subscriber when in a position to do so. So just disregard entry. Thanks.

Being a memeber to this site has all kinds of neat-o benefits, folks.

-unlimited downloads
-the WC browser (worth the price of admission alone)
-2 (yep, 2) killer skins
-the chance to support a site that gets very little money through on-site advertising
-and like Xiandi said in #18....NO ADS!!!!!!

I love this site...I've only been a member for a couple months, but I can tell you... this place is great!!!
