Being on the outside looking in can be a bit exasperating and confusing at times but that doesn’t make anyone stupid…just not informed is all.
Chas, no need to apologize to me…I was just feeling enough heat is all. He-he!
Chas, I’m going to explain why the admins changed the update thing-a-ma-jig from my own funky perception…okay?
1). Updates are treated (as I see) as ‘brand new and improved’ and therefore should only be showcased if the update is truly a major overhaul.
2). An older updated skin that has made a major revamp IS a remarkable and valid update and therefore deserves to be treated practically as a brand new skin.
3). At the end of the day people DID abuse the system (I saw this myself quite a bit on a day to day basis) whether purposely or out of ignorance… Even I updated some things myself that were fairly cosmetic on my very first newbie skin which is no longer on this site (I think I’ve updated 3 or 4 skins out of all of them that I’ve had here). One update was my Bow-Hunter cursor which was also cosmetic but did add some helpful features my previous version didn’t (thanks to Ingui) but it was never in the Updates section…in fact nothing I’ve updated has been in the updates section I’m pretty sure because my updates were usually pretty fast (because I know if I don’t update something soon then chances are I won’t get around to updating it).
4). If a fairly spankin’-new skin with a few tweaks gets shuffled back to the front of the deck over let’s say, ‘Jill’s new skin’ that has never been seen before and then Larry ups his new-skin with an update and that sinks Jill’s skin that much further down on the page and you get the idea…well, that would seem to me to be a bit unfair to Jill?
5). I’m not running this site so I can’t see what goes on behind the green curtain…all I can do is take someone’s word for it that they are doing right by people and hope that they mean it.
Black helicopters…I wonder…nahhhhhhhh!
Speaking of…”The admins may or may not have 'issues' with some people but surprisingly are totally impartial to the handling of them or their work/s.”
Hmm. I just noticed Master Apprentice on my info. How’d when/that happen? Another glitch? Spoke too soon!
