Quoting WebGizmos, reply 3Man...what douche bag! You should just report comments like that Tim and have them removed. Unfortunately some people are very childish and never grow up. 2 whom do yo report ?? Jafo or Doc ?

I too find the proximity of the buttons confusing, neone6. This screenshot should help

  The Left button is for Doc.  The Right button is to report a post which you find objectionable.

My simple working theory:  If you don't like it, don't buy it.

I am glad some can make a few pennies from selling their WB skins, I personally have only bought one. I find most of the premium Skins for sale are no better in most respects than the free ones. I would also say some of the skinners who put out their product for free sometimes do a far better job at skinning all the elements in the skin and at times are more creative with use of their colour combinations.

I only purchase my Icons from Oh My Icons http://ohmyicons.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_8 which are far superior to any Icon packages I have found here at Stardock sorry but that is the way it is.

Nobody's obliged to buy something he (she ) dislikes...

I propose to this kind of brave posters to upload their work for free, so we can see what a good stuff is

the gist of it was not that she didn't like it,... she just didn't want to pay for it..... the old familiar masterskin whine.... only put very crudely...

there's always going to be someone like that,just have to keep your head up and continue

I don't think the comment was that she didn't like the skin, it was more that she wanted it for free and refuses to buy a master skin.

I've seen a few comments like that in the past but I don't remember one that turned vulgar.

It's a shame, it's not like master skins are making the author rich. Sometime I wonder if all of the work involved is worth the trouble that goes with it.

Actually there are several that will say "looks great but I can't/won't afford it", but there were also many that "turned vulgar".

Commercialism in skinning has been a "drama" ever since one  guy called Brad actually turned a hobby into a business - without which this site and its community would not have existed.

I remember the undercurrents of 'disdain' way back in the days of skinz.org  [I can admit to a bit of it then, too....through naivete], though it didn't reach a head 'til the advent of Wincustomize.com and the paranoia that surrounded the idea that 'our' skinning site was to be OWNED by a commercial interest [how quickly they ALL forgot eFront owning/destroying skinz.org].

Customize.org was the next battle ground, fought out between some of the dopiest skin site 'admins' and arguably the finest skinners known.

Stardock's creation of the Master Skin commercial option is just another episode in the long-running battle between those that do and those that think they know what should be done.

I'm sure the journey is far from over....

PS...Tim every skin you make is worth the money...

I'm with skinhit. If I could I'd snatch up every master skin there is because IMO they're all worth it.

on Apr 27, 2011

It looks like a really fantastic skin, Tim, but everything you do is pretty fantastic.  If I had discretionary spending, I'd buy it (and study it, and see how you did it, and learn from it--because for me, it's not just a skin, it's an education at the hands of a master) -- You know what kind of a monkey wrench her comment put your day into -- can you imaging what sort of life she lives if she feels compelled to "go there" in the comments section of a skin?  Sad...it's really sad.
