their comming out of the woodwork today....

PEOPLE! Get it through your THICK HEADS!

Did you purchase any of Stardock's shareware programs? You should be able to set up your Wincustomize account with your purchase info to have unlimited download access.

and no i dont want to purchase anything ok

Let me tell you all something. I didn't buy anything and got promoted, so the system does work. I'am a subscriber now because I like this site and I felt I should help it. Each person has to do what they feel is right for themselves. If you want to leach, leach. If you want to support, support. Everyone is free to make up their own mind.

how do u get promoted?

Promotion comes by colaboration to the site, either by contributing with skins/designs or by helping out on the message boards [helping those in need of information, aiding those that seek help with technical problems, etc]

DesignDJ, I helped people on the messageboard when they had problems. IE, can't load WB on my machine, how do I put a logon on, why can't I download whatever and so on and so on. Its participation on the MSGBD, not crying on it.Helping people who in turn learn and help other people.

DesignDJ, was not refering to you or anyone in specific. Was talking in general as someone in the past asked the same question, but all he did was cause trouble all the time and thought that because he was on the MSGBD a lot that he was contributing. That doesn't count. Thats why I said the crying thing so no one would think that counted.

You know I first came to this site last November. I uploaded my first CursorXP soon after. I purchased the CursorXP program soon after that. I talked on the message board and uploaded more cursors over the next few months. I purchased my subscription to the site after that when I learned they were having server problems and I wanted to help out as best I could. Since then I have made quite a few more cursors and few walls and have learned how to make WindowBlinds. By the way if it were not for a lot of helpful members of this site I never would have figured out how to make them. I now have Object Desktop purely by choice.
Now yes, my rank has gone up during this time but it is mostly because the time I put into the site. But also I never had to worry about what I could download because I purchased the CursorXP program way at the beginning. Hey, I was using it and making them I wanted/needed the full program.

OK, I am done with my little say on this.
Thank you very much.

Right on da_zman20. I'll second that.
