Value of being a subscriber?

from WinCustomize Forums

Greetings,


I was a subscriber for over a year, and member since 2002 i believe. I have to say, during this time, I have yet to see any real value of paying Stardock for a subscription. I bought Window blinds and have yet to see anything better than the stock "dragon" theme that's included. Has any other member created anything similar?

I believe stardock depends on contributor work too much and should create some 'masterwork' designs in house. Add some value to the subscriptions, and I'd probably re-subscribe. Masterwork dreams are now few and far between, decent windowblinds are non-existant, and every once in a while, you see a pretty good CursorFX. I'm still using the

Telsa cursor (best I've seen so far, and that was way way back).

 

I saw a few articles back how stardock wanted to add value to subscriptions, but I think they went about it all wrong. I've also seen quite a few articles dated a while back about the same issue I raise how stardock leans on the backs of contributors to make a buck, and the stuff they charge for isn't all that good. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I know.. but all the same..

 

what do you guys think?

I believe for what i pay for a membership i certainly get more than my moneys worth, but that is my opinion, what is the subscription now, 5 gals of gas, or thereabouts

Yeah, me too... and not just because of unlimited downloads; subscriber skins; no ads; my own personal page and other freebies... I get to hang out with folk like Zubaz, Po1 Smedley and Skinhit... to mention but just a few of the many top notch people who frequent this glorious site.

On second thoughts... hanging out with Zubaz, Po` Smedley and Skinhit! Is there any discount for that???? :LOL:

That is the silliest thing I've read since the "Impulse is Doomed" thread. Thank you for a good laugh.Now back to my beautiful default Vista Home Basic GUI while I wait for something "decent" to come along. :LOL:
