Is advertising even allowed on WC?   Especially considering its in a roundabout way a competing product.

I dont see the seperation, If they are interested in it..it mean's they are being advertised to.

Basically the policy is saying as long as someone provides something that is interesting to the members then its ok to advertise it here.  I only bring it up because I soon will have Premium WB suites on my site and I would like to clarify whether it would be ok to post releases here or even list my site in any posts or comments.    The old..what's good for the goose" thing..u know. WC has also advertised somewhat competitive.. to itself.. software in the past too in it's articles. I would be interested in knowing how the policy is worded.

D. Arnaez releases smaller versions, here, of full packs he sells on his site. He usually just puts a link in the description. I've never seen anyone say anything about it. WWW Link

Perhaps releasing versions of the wb without animations and other features...or just in wb4 versions (pre per-pixel) here with the full version on your site?

Just a thought.

Wow.. 15 bucks, he's quite proud of those WB's.. Its a pity I cant find more than a 150 pixel thumbnail to checkem out. I might buy one.. maybe i'm just missing it   

Well, I guess it's ok to advertise here afterall.

Well most people are probably aware I have been selling "Premium" themes on my site and TGT soft for nearly 3 years, making them for 5.. none of it is very new to me. With Vista killing off Visual styles I planned to transition smoothly into the sales of WB \ suites. If i could sell Master skins..I would. I just don't have the time to wait on Stardock to tell me I've posted enough, submitted enough or been helpful enough. This I have no problem with but I do fully intend to sell my work and get more into commercial skinning as well.

Seems like everytime I turn around I see a post linking to something that that is competing with Stardock and no one seems to say anything. It's going to start being a bit of give and take if you ask me.. Sites like WC need quality content to keep up membership whereas artists like myself need exposure and traffic. It would seem as though something could be worked out that would be beneficial for all.

bumpo   

Alright Zubaz, cheers mate

I wouldn't know about that. All I see are thumbnails. IMHO it would be foolish to spend money on that without being able to view the animation first.
