Is TSF "Special"

from WinCustomize Forums
Is there somehting special about The Skins Factory I don't know about?

I really hope and Admin or Mod could explain why only the TSF is allowed to link out submissions. Is any other author on this site afforded that privilege. I know WC is not so desperate for new submissions to bend the rules for one business that fronts as a skin author. I say we hold TSF to the same standard as all the members of this site. That is of course unless they are special.

Thanks,
kith

The skins for Alienware are a joint project between The Skins Factory, Stardock (the owners of this site) and Alienware. Agreements are in place for distribution. Kith you need to get a life, something i can tell you are clearly lacking. You're a petty individual, sad really considering there are more pressing matters in the world than if our skins are linked for download to another site... something i'll mention once again that is something the owners of this site condone since they hard coded the links into the download buttons.

Why don't you spend the excessive amounts of time you seem to have to waste on whining on more productive things like raising money for the Gulf state victims. Now i have to go and finish buying my girlfriend some replacement things since she lost everything as a former resident of New Orleans.

For all I care, TSF could use off world links and get 'Scotty' to beam them down to my puter.


TSF, going where no other skinner has gone before.

Kith, 

If you'd like to arrange skinning deals with major companies, create the skins and then submit entries here to let people know about the skins, we will gladly allow you to have someone else host the files.

TAPPER said it best: Who cares?

TSF - I can accept you telling me to get a life or even calling me petty. But to suggest a few post on this site mean I do not care about what is going on in the Gulf states is just barbaric. You are a cruel person, I hope that Alienware money buys your girlfriend and you a lot of hapiness.

Frog - Thanks for the further clarification on what is required for special treatment.

What i said was the effort you've spent on whining could have been better spent on something more productive. Nothing i've said mentioned you didn't care what was happening in the gulf states. Maybe instead of 'getting a life' you might want to read a book.

Crikey. It's your free choice: if you like it, download it, if you don't like it, don't download it. But for goodness sake quit whinging about it.

And to the multitude who download and enjoy your skins without complaint. I did have a minor problem with the theme manager to begin with, but a couple of settings adjustments soon ironed it out....and I'm totally 'stoked' with the media player skin, it has to be the best one I've ever used.....take an 'A' in triplicate and go to the top of the intergalactic class

I've always liked that 'interface' style of imagery in the animation...like something you might have seen in 2001 a Space Odyssey.....[and just about all S/F since]...

TSF...Please express my sadness over your girfriends loss as I believe everyone here at WC will echo my thoughts.

TSF - You and many others will be in my thoughts. I'm sorry about your loss. Katrina was very brutal.

Thanks for the well wishes. She'll be fine. I spent the last 2 days buying her a whole new wardrobe and we're looking into her transfering her to a new law college.

Kith,

Me and Jeff (TSF) have had plenty of arguments over the several years we've known each other. So I can assure you he doesn't get any special treatment because of he someone says nice things all the time.  While Jeff is my friend, the "special" treatment (which I don't really consider to be the case) his company receives is based on merit, I can assure you of that. 

TSF has brought many thousands (if not millions) of new people into skinning.  It's people like Jeff that have helped popularize skinning which helps everyone.

I always thought that Bionic Dot raised the bar the most of any other skin to date. Now the Invader WMP skin might just have done it again.

TSF isn't the community award winner for most popular artist. If kith's issue had any substance? Wouldn't one, some, anyone have joined along his side?

This same debate came up a lot when the alien morph suite was released. I think after the three threads settled down and the people saw that their life didn't end, and what they were left with was a great skin that they otherwise would not have gotten without buying an expensive computer, they were very pleased. But Jesh was being blasted by those who thought the giving of their e-mail address to get a skin was too much to pay. Oh brother. And then the size (good point, but again worth it), and lastly the link to another site. Kith must not have been around for that.
