Well you didnt start anything bad.   This Thread may kick around for while longer because some pretty good ideas are coming from it.

I don't know if a separate section for classic WB's will/could happen but it is a good idea. Maybe a suggestion for WC2K8. Maybe a Gold record ,or some other indicator could be placed next to it showing it to ba a classic.

I still go back to the classics just for the sheer beauty of them. Most  if not all may never get updated and that is just fine.  

I to enjoy going back and looking at the classics.Once in a while I find something that catches my eye that I hadn't seen before and I have to have it. It is also great to see how skins have evolved over the years.  

I still don't understand how to get to the new stuff, I know I can't find mine when I look for them. I have only had 1 or 2 downloads on my wallpapers and can't seem to find them listed. Do others have this problem. I looked in newest, nothing. It seems you have to have alot of hits to even get in there. How do I win an award to get my stuff seen? There is something I guess I don't get here. If you download a Photograph and it's not under newest then how does someone find anything to download it and we get the hits. By the way I.R. Brainiac stated I have a tone or something to that effect, excuse me but I didn't deserve that. I am a simple honest person who would like to see this site bloom and it was something I think needed to be looked at because as I stated before, some people did have problems with the older stuff on their computers and this stuff great as it is needs to inform those who have newer systems that they might not work or look good on todays computers. Thank You.

Not all submissions make it to the main gallery.  Some submissions are moderated to a users personal gallery because they don't make the cut.

In the past, those submissions would be deleted.  Now, you have the opportunity to still "market" yourself and your work.  Some submissions that get sent to your personal page will get a ton of hits.  Just ask Po' Smedley. 

The newest submissions on the front page cycle pretty quickly but you can always see what 's new in descending order from most recent to furthest  past by selecting that  gallery (i.e. choose Windowblinds and click next until your fingers hurt; there's some good history there).

I'd suggest that if you find a skin that doesn't work on newer systems, you leave a comment on that skin.  Let the author know.  He or she may choose to update the skin (or just the description). 

Tone is very hard to convey in text.  Sometimes new visitors to the site start critiquing before they know how things are.  This can do two things.  One, it can illustrate potential gaps in the system that may need filling.  Two, it can make the commenter appear to not care enough to learn what's going on before shooting off their mouth.  Now that I think about it, there is a third option . . a mix of the above.

This site has been blooming for years with a constant stream of skinners, blowhards, moderators, coders, asses, and admins.  Some folks are lucky enough to become family.  Some are more comfortable living on the edges.  *SOME* people don't  make the cut and are not welcome (and are banned).

I certainly hope you find a place here, you are welcome.

I was here before 2001 as a visitor, and yes someone who downloaded for free. Then the the lightbulb went off and I purchased stuff......Then this past month another lightbulb went off and I started to download some wallpapers. Got to change those lightbulbs a little faster in my old age. I am so glad to be here, and thanks for the kind words. And to all those who make this site great, Thank You.
