How long have you been a member?
Published on January 18, 2011 By RogerCale In WinCustomize Talk

Ok I've been a member since 7/2001 and buying stardock programs a little longer than that!

My question is how long have you been a member and are any of the founding members still around? (frogboy you can't be included in this question, you are older than dirt around here! lol) No particular reason just interested as a lot of skinners from way back haven't been around and wanted to know if there are any still around!

My first purchase was desktop launchpad. I needed something at work to launch repeditive answers in emails to users at the collage I worked at repairing computers and working help desk. Stardock at the time had the only program to do that, also bought something for os/2 from them. I remember a lot of you guys, thank you all for responding.

Just under 2 months to Wincustomize.com's 10th birthday....and my joining.

One of my first 'jobs' was testing uploads [sizes, etc] for T-Man... to be sure the galleries worked OK. [That's why there's some odd 'crap' from me on here].

So that'll be 21st of March.

WC kicked into life a day or two earlier though, from memory....

 

At that time we [skinners] were all over the place.... Customize.org, Deskmod.com, skinz.org, and also the new [then] Deviantart.com.

It wasn't until [both] Deviantart and Wincustomize came along that skinners actually had a STABLE place to call 'Home'.  The others [including the smaller/privateer sites] expired at one time or another, and much of that was attributable to their 'Commercial Model'. [note...I didn't once mention 'eFront' ---- darn].

Re User numbers, I believe the first 10 or 20 were reserved for Stardock people, and the one non-Stardock person I can recall below '23' was/is Doreen [21, I think].

Now THERE's a 'blast from the past'....

Wc started in 2001? I thought it was much older than that. My how time flies.

Ah.... Doreen is 20, 'StardockCentral' is 21, and Buzz_Hog is 22 .... [always helps to look]...

Became a member on Feb 12, 2004... so almost 7 years now. First found WC a few months before that. My first son was born October 2003, so I needed something quiet to do while he slept instead of playing my guitar. Surfing around for wallpapers I found Wincustomize. Started uploading walls, then eventually Rainlendar and Sysmetrix and some icons.  Dabbled in CursorXP for a while too.  Don't do much skinning anymore, just an occasional wall here and there. But I'm still here every single day, multiple times a day.

I started my desktop customization journey with LiteStep development back in the later part of 97, moved to Customize.org, wandered from there over to Razorart till it closed it's doors, then moved to WC full time. ( I was lurking about WC when the Doors opened but drug my feet on joining.) My first skin was uploaded as backgrounds for LSTaskman. Tho not as active as I would like, (real life an all) I still try to push pixels around when Possible.  Current project: LCARS DX Res Independent theme.

Since 1/19/2009. I guess I just passed my 2 year anniversary! I used to make a bunch of objectdock backgrounds, some wallpapers, and some trillian skins, but my graduate level genetics classes have been eating up all of my time.
