Here's the Day 37 - 39 Update for the WinCustomize Charity/Subscription Drive.
- Subscriptions: 1,036 (51.80% of goal)
- Charity Dollars Raised: $3,424.63 (68.49% of total)
We finally hit the half-way mark this weekend on the subscriber goal! And we're almost 3/4th of the way to the charity dollar goal as well! But we're down to the wire now. There are just 5 days remaining on the Charity/Subscription drive and we have quite a way to go!
So, if you haven't subscribed or purchased one of the qualifying Master Skins yet, you'd better get a move on! The drive ends at the end of the day Friday, December 14th.
Also, last week there was another giveaway, this time for a copy of the Pirate Suite. All you had to do was post a comment on the giveaway thread describing WinCustomize in pirate-speak. Only a few people chose to participate, and even fewer actually described WinCustomize in their grog 'n wenches talk. vStyler was actually the only one to talk about the site beyond using "WinCustomize" somewhere in the comment.
Here's the winning pirate-y description from vStyler:
"Wincustomize is a great, grand damn bugger of a Island full o' dead mans treasure! With'a keen eye on the sweet trade they come down on the pirates quicker than a clipper chasin a cutter's arse!
If ya like a good yarn then heave to and pull yer yawl portside o the forums..n drop yer killick.. but beware fer there are sprog's o' plenty to cause ye heartache, best let the old coats deal wi' 'em and keep yer mouth shut.
Artisans abound in this here place, they come and go..this here skinning ain't fer tha lily-livered, if ye can keep a straight sail..ye may be rewarded.. when the press gang recruits ye n delivers ye to tha the Jack o' coins for ye a bag o Doubloons.!!!
So grab a jar of yer favorite grog and git ta skinnin!!"
