OP
Why are you using this website / messageboard as a way to advertise your product? You did not even take the time to write it as a message but just posted some draggy press release. As this is an interactive messageboard I will reply ;-). <br /> <br />>Whether you’re into dark skins, high contrast skins or multi-colored, multi-functional skins, this is the skin for you! Dark, contrasty, sleek, refined and total interactive usability define this skin. <br />For the multi-functional and interactive usability, this has nothing to do with the skin right? The applications you skin have these functions, not your skin. As the main thing is a Windowblinds skin.. I thought that WB&acute;s can recolor all the gfx in skins, so in two minutes your skin can just as well be a bright, low contrast, skin for users. <br /> <br />>in and of itself! <br />Hehe <br /> <br />>With this suite you´ll also receive: One premium WindowBlind. One premium Rainlendar skin. One premium SystemMetrix skin. One premium WindowsMedia Player skin. <br />So that makes two Windowblinds in total, am I right here? And a lot of premium stuff.. what’s the difference between a premium skin and non-premium skin,.. that you have to pay for it? <br /> <br />>Don´t wait! Get your hands on one of the most highly anticipated SUITES of 2004/2005! <br />Oh yeah, I have been waiting for this for months! Couldn’t sleep and all, please tell me where I can purchase this right now! <br /> <br />Why no icons btw, too much work? <br /> <br />Anyway, MillaMeter,.. c’mon, please don&acute;t do this again.

Well I&acute;ve posted this at most skinning sites Including WinCustomize, Skinartistry, WinMatrix (and people replied happily, I even asked an admin where I could post it. They pointed me to the right direction will no problems what so ever not mentioning a thing about advertisement) and now http://www.valhalla-designs.co.uk is happily as well to make it a news thread on his front page on Monday!! This site is the only 1 that has some thing against me posting about the suite, if it really bothers you THAT much why didn&acute;t you delete the thread before anyone could see the &quot;advert&quot; if that&acute;s what your worried about ? I haven&acute;t seen anything about not being able to advertise Premium suites. maybe your making the rules up as you go along? Even if there was, it&acute;s not clearly visible at all.

Well maybe you could have send your press release in as a news item, letting skinbase admins decide if they want to show your advertisement? If accepted it would now be on the frontpage, getting much more attention as it does in the messageboard. <br /> <br />For Wincustomize: ofcourse they are posting it, you selling (or at least advertising..) stuff is also benefiting them. Skinartistry is the site you are linking to... so ofcourse they post it.. WinMatrix I don&acute;t know, I never visit that site. As for your comment on posting this at &quot;most skinning sites&quot;... well, google a bit ;-) <br /> <br />For Valhalla posting it on his site, I assume you asked him? You didnt just posted it in his messageboard / shoutbox right? This asside of the fact that Valhalla is just a nice guy, willing to help people :-) <br /> <br />>I haven´t seen anything about not being able to advertise Premium suites. maybe your making the rules up as you go along? Even if there was, it´s not clearly visible at all. <br />I dont see any rules stating that you disagree with me posting a link to my pay-9euro-to-view-a-movie movie website here: http://www.millameter.com/Guestbook/ Though I am quite sure you would disapprove me posting that don&acute;t you? Its about manners, in my book it&acute;s not considered to be a decent thing to go plastering your press releases around messageboards. Again, you could have asked if you wern&acute;t sure. <br /> <br />One final thingy; why on earth would I delete all this? I don&acute;t like this kind of sneaky advertising and just gave my opinion on it, thats all (as a matter of fact I don&acute;t even think that option is in the admin-panel).

Well how come I didn&acute;t get any abuse from the WinCustomize site? they&acute;re much more populated then this site (more admins, more mods more visitors) I posted a thread there and had no trouble from anyone. I didn&acute;t even ask, as a matter of fact I didn&acute;t even ask at LOS, I don&acute;t seem to get any abuse from them do I? so I thought I&acute;ll give SB a shot, well I guess I was wrong. I really thought this site was as good as it looks, you prob won&acute;t be seeing any of my work submitted here again. <br /> <br />&quot;One final thingy; why on earth would I delete all this? I don&acute;t like this kind of sneaky advertising and just gave my opinion on it, that&acute;s all (as a matter of fact I don&acute;t even think that option is in the admin-panel).&quot; <br /> <br />To show how unfriendly you (admin) are, on any business/community website you&acute;d see admins are friendly to their visitors, unlike you who abuse them.

> Well how come I didn´t get any abuse from the WinCustomize site? <br />I just told you why in my previous post didn&acute;t I? <br /> <br />>matter of fact I didn´t even ask at LOS, I don´t seem to get any abuse from them do I? <br />True, as a matter of fact you&acute;re not getting any reply at all on that site.. <br /> <br />>I really thought this site was as good as it looks <br />I agree with you on this :burger. What has uploading to this site to do with it? <br /> <br />>To show how unfriendly you (admin) are, on any business/community website you´d see admins are friendly to their visitors, unlike you who abuse them. <br />Abuse?! Where&acute;s the abuse in my comments? Its very simple; you posted something in a messageboard, I commented on that, then you commented on my comment etc etc etc. Its called a conversation, not abuse. Please tell me in what way I have abused you. <br /> <br />:adminpk

Well first of all, you was criticizing my Droplet theme. Funny really since as you&acute;ve never made 1. (not from what I can see) <br /> <br />e.g. <br />&quot;Why no icons btw, too much work?&quot; <br />As a matter of fact, not all suites on the net have icon sets, does this mean I have to make some to go with mine? no I don&acute;t, since as it&acute;s my suite I can make what I want. I&acute;m also a very busy person making websites, custom images etc.. for my clients earning money. So in a way, I don&acute;t really have much time. <br /> <br />&quot;in and of itself!&quot; <br />Hehe <br /> <br />I really don&acute;t know what&acute;s so dam funny, but it must be so funny that I only see you laughing. <br />&quot;With this suite you´ll also receive: One premium WindowBlind. One premium Rainlendar skin. One premium SystemMetrix skin. One premium WindowsMedia Player skin. <br />So that makes two Windowblinds in total, am I right here? And a lot of premium stuff.. what’s the difference between a premium skin and non-premium skin,.. that you have to pay for it?&quot; <br /> <br />Suite as in package. The difference between Premium and non-Premium is that Premium is not for public to download for free. The high quality of the suite makes it premium and well worth the money. &quot;You can&acute;t judge a book by it&acute;s cover&quot; So just by looking at the preview, you can&acute;t tell how good or bad the suite feels to your likings until you own a copy. <br /> <br />&quot;Don´t wait! Get your hands on one of the most highly anticipated SUITES of 2004/2005! <br />Oh yeah, I have been waiting for this for months! Couldn’t sleep and all, please tell me where I can purchase this right now!&quot; <br /> <br />Being sarcastic...

Would be nice if you not only answered some of the questions btw <br /> <br />>Well first of all, you was criticizing my Droplet theme. Funny really since as you´ve never made 1. <br />Sure I did, I never called something Droplet-EX though.. and anyway, why is this an issue? Don&acute;t you comment on the cars you see being advertised in TV commercials? And as should be clear by now, I did not comment on the theme itself (in fact I only looked at it after I posted the comments on your press release), but on your pressrelease. <br /> <br />>&quot;Why no icons btw, too much work?&quot; <br />Its a question... just wondering as most people offering a complete make-over set also offer some icons, just to make it more complete. <br /> <br />>I really don´t know what´s so dam funny, but it must be so funny that I only see you laughing. <br />Sorry, its just me and my awfull sense of humor, I&acute;m so sorry (+sorry, sorry) that I find your pressrelease funny. <br /> <br />>Suite as in package. The difference between Premium and non-Premium is that Premium is not for public to download for free.&quot; <br />Ok, thanks. <br /> <br />>The high quality of the suite makes it premium and well worth the money. <br />Thats up to the consumer to decide is it? Not only aiming you here, but isnt phrasing it like this maybe a bit insulting to all the people only creating not-for-pay skins, as if their work is of a lesser quality? I have nothing against making some mony btw, just dont claim your work is better as someone else&acute;s work. <br /> <br />>So just by looking at the preview, you can´t tell how good or bad the suite feels to your likings until you own a copy. <br />I know, I have been using skins for *some* years now... but again, I didn&acute;t even look at your preview, but only at your marketing. Anyhow, if you are so damn sure your suite is amazing then why not explain it a bit more to people why exactly it is so perfect (as they cannot tell from the preview). <br /> <br />>Being sarcastic... <br />Well, c&acute;mon! What do you expect with lines going like &quot;Don´t wait! Get your hands on one of the most highly anticipated SUITES of 2004/2005!&quot;.

To me this looks an ad. What makes a skin premium? BTW: The other product is called &quot;WindowBlinds&quot; with an s.

This skin looks to me like nothing more than a cross breed between Treetog and Alexandria. Nothing new.
