ive only been a member since 2004,but do remember using window blinds 0.6 or 0.7 and do remember a certain frog skin, i think(been a long time)

I joined WC in January of 2002, but been using Object Desktop since 2000 (though the disk says 2001, I think its a replacement disk because my account says 2000) (so i guess I am an old one). Anyways... I don't remember how I cam across Stardock, but I was using StyleXP awhile there. I have always found an interest in skinning and wanted to learn to do it on my own, but I ended going in the networking end of the spectrum and never got around to learning how to skin. Though I hope to still one day do so. Anyways it has been a great community to be apart of. I think the skinning community is and will be one of the largest and longest lasting communities around that share a common goal yet still very close. Hey.. lookie here.. anyone remember what these looked like... I haven't bought software on disk for so long now. But anyways... amazingly enough I actually kept this   

hey, whats up with line breaks not appearing in the postings???

Have been a member since May 2004 but had been visiting for a few months prior.


How did I find the place? Well I was wandering around the internet looking for things to cover up the Fischer Price look of XP and I tripped over the welcome mat outside. Just as well, too, I found some great stuff inside and have never looked back.

December 2002 here, it was hard to miss the best skinning site on the Internet then (and now)!

I bought WB 1.? and have been hooked ever since. When WC started up, it was icing ong the cake. I've lurked pretty much twice a day since. Love the place and the folks here!

Happy Birthday Wincustomize! I've been a member since 2004 and was useing at that time 3.1 fond the site from stardock and stayed ever since cheers   have a colddey

well here we go... been a member since Mar 18, 2005, found the site looking for something to improve my computer, downloaded some WB's and docks and love them, then i tryed making some WB's ect and was getting somewere (I Think) and WORK got in the way, till now....... i'm hoping to be up and skinning soon  . you have to LOVE this site..... thanks to all who make it possable. Robbie boy

Got into WB a long time ago, don't actually remember the date, but I remember the day I first came across skinz.org, been hooked ever since. As for WC, I've been here for a long time (i.e. since the first or second day the site opened), but I'm just a lurker, subscriber and general bandwidth hog ...

User No. 19770 I joined on Jul 23, 2001. Believe it or not I bought and have been using Windowblinds since Ver 1.0. Woohooo, We've come a long way baby!! RAD

was browsing the web looking for desktop enhancement toys - one site was mentioned a trial of WB, went and looked at SD, decided to buy the disk (never had any trial version) and found my way from there to here.

I came over the first week WC went live, from Skinz.org.  When I stumbled on to Skinz.org I tried eFX before WindowBlinds. If some of you newer folk could have seen how WC was put together in the beginning...it was like moving into a new home still being built. But the guys got it going pretty fast.

I remember Windowblinds.net had it's own gallery. and Skinz.org had a skin browser which I think I still have on a CD somewhere.  

Oh well enough of the history. Long Live Thug Life!  

"Member" since May 2002, but around for longer than that. Started messing with IE 5's built in "skins" and Neoplanet,then found Windowblinds.

I started back in'98 as a wallpaper artist and quickly got into Litestep theming. I was one of the refugees from Skinz.org that came over when Skinz finally died. I was a Wizop here for quite a long time, and although I don't do that anymore I'm still very involved in Wincustomize and skinning and spend large parts of my day here. I still love it, and many people here feel like family to me. I was originally known as Mr.Mercury when DeviantArt first started,and also at Customize.org and Deskmod, but became BoXXi when I joined Skinz.org.

long time ago, when the older skin sites were dropping left and right. i think brad mentioned something on skins.org and I came to check it out.
