The limit is there to stop people who don't contribute anything to the site from leeching.

by Citizen Ami-One - 12/2/2003 1:00:36 PM i wouldn't mind a MB limit per week/month but now i have to make a new account just to get some icons!?!

50 megs is more than enough for someone to decide if they find value in access the libraries. $20.00 for two a year Subscription which removes all download limits is more than a value to those who wish unlimited access.

As far as it being "Just to get some Icons" that statement alone says it isn't JUST some icons, You find a value in being able to download and make use them.

Mark, seriously speaking... The site can not continue without contributions on a subscription basis because of the size of it. People have to either be a part of the whole, and contribute in some fashion, create skins, walls, icons, themes, help others on the message board, and various other thing or they have to subscribe. One has to help keep it alive by giving something back or all they are doing is taking from it. Nothing can continue to exist without help of some shape or form...

indeed Green Armani

btw, how site doing?

Yeah I noticed that too...

Hum, Ami-One, I just looked at your profile to see how many skins of yours you've shared with us.  Strangely, I found none. That is odd. Surely you are not complaning that you cannot continue to download forever without even giving anything at all back?

My turn on the soapbox:

I do not think that the 50 mb limit is unreasonable for those who do not contribute anything to the site. I joined Wincustomize because my artistic ability is so poor I can not even draw a stick man decently! I felt that it was my way of contributing to keep the site open for the many "artists" out there who make my day with their creations. They are the real reason this site exists! It is only fitting that those, like me, subscribe to keep this site up.

I actually haven't done anything yet with the site except put up a cheesy place holder image with my name How sad.

topic tickler: 50 megs of icons must be one heck of a load of Icons!

IP ... it would be a mass of icons a few years ago, but with an 'average' package of between 2 or 3 Mb these days it's not that big.
I know the trend is for all sizes and formats but they have blown out.
Even the Sysmetric skin sets are up around 1 Mb in some instances ....
Just an observation.

Perhaps not.

Am10n3 ....leeching off others who pay for the bandwidth is both inconsiderate and antisocial.

The limit is in place to 'prompt' a reasonable, fair response from those who may be a little reluctant to do the right thing.

see

I want a dink button!! where is that fat little man in the red suit when you want him?

I think we will just ignore the last comment.

Can someone lock or delete this thread please.

if you want some, you gotta give some. i am surprised that the limit is 50. thats way too much. i just started contributing but i know that i downloaded alot of things already, heck, if i had a credit card, i would buy the subscription.

All you cheapies just need to caugh up the $20 bucks...goodness! Obviously you like the site enough anyway??
