Firefox 3 Release & Stardock Site Compatibility
Jul 30, 2008 12:59

Firefox 3.0 goes final and is scheduled for release on Tuesday, June 17th.

There are currently known incompatibilities between Firefox 3 and many of our sites and forums. For the most part, the sites function properly, but have formatting issues. A specific example are the login & password fields to log into these forums. In Firefox 3, instead of both being on the same line, they are stacked vertically.

We will be addressing these visual issues in time. Please do NOT post threads on the forums pointing out Firefox 3 site issues. They will be deleted. We are aware of the problems and will work as quickly as we can to resolve them.

Until posted otherwise, the only version of Firefox our sites support at the moment is Firefox 2.

What Are We Doing With the Extra $10?

By Posted May 6, 2008 15:15:21

Today we announced that the subscription price for WinCustomize was going to go up $10/year from $20 to $30.  Now, of course we had to come up with a good justification for this, something that would fool the sheep of the forums into believing we did this for their own good and that they're getting the better end of the deal.

But, just between you and me?  Complete BS. 

As some of you may know, today's Angie's birthday, so as a gift the company bought her a new car...

So that would have probably accounted for a $2.50 increase per subscription, but some of us were looking at that car and asked "What about us?"  After some haggling and stomping of feet and numerous rude gestures, we sold upper management on the idea of the Stardock Porsche Fleet...

Each, of course, added $2.50 to the unit cost of a WinCustomize subscription. 

That's why the subscription is now $10 more per year.  Gotta pay for the fancy cars!

Now, I know some of you are probably getting worked up about this turn of events, especially considering how we told you it was really about the free skins, and not the Porsche fleet.  To calm your nerves, here's a serene picture of some geese...

That's right, here at Stardock HQ we have a fleet of Porsches AND cute little baby geese!

No kidding.

You're ranting and foaming at the mouth over a spoof, and you want US to grow up? Get a life already! A lawyer would think"Gee what a moron" but I'm no lawyer.

Oh good Lord.

Bruce Edwards.... I'm sorry you clearly were last in line for a sense of humour.

I really am.

What's even more amusing is the clear laziness...using the same pic and a bit of photoshopping.....come on, guys...at least let's have three individual signs....

Karmagirl....I'll go with the Roo pinching mine...so could you send an Aston Martin DB9 instead?  BRG would be fine....

Well that clears a lot up, let me guess,jailhouse or public defender,right? quote["I wonder howe many others are as offended as I?"]unquote Only one so far. You passed a Bar exam with literary skills like that? Letz go suw sumbodi!  Perhaps you have heard of the concept of Satire?

What law has Stardock broken?
May 7, 2008 00:07:47
I didn't notice any spellin errors.

It is interesting............. How not one "official" representative has anything to say regarding their abusive PR? Isn't it?
Im sure they have an Aussie office ZI can forward this forum disc too?
May 7, 2008 00:09:51

on a public forum.
Think deeply about your legal resposiubilities here.

Note ...... this transcript is a legal document.
May 7, 2008 00:20:02
You have odentified yourself as one who has authority to dudicate and act regarding the legalities of coments posted in a public forum on behalf of Stardock the company.
May 7, 2008 00:21:51
Good god man, what is your issue? Try getting off that stick you've so delicately placed up your backside and try going out and having some fun for a change, like Stardock has done here. Although, "fun" seems to be a concept to which is completely foreign to you.
May 7, 2008 00:22:26
A company that has posted transcript identifying its customers as" sheep to be fooled".
Are you offering an opoligy for this abuse?
May 7, 2008 00:23:55
I worked with lawyers at the District Attorney's office for 6 months, and you don't sound much like a lawyer at all. I certainly wouldn't hire you to represent me with good confidence.
May 7, 2008 00:25:35
Jafo.. if you are unwilling to represnt the company ...................in the capacity you have already impied too..... then you should immediately locate a representative who can speak on behalf on Stardock and immediately inform them of this compaint............... If you are a wise, Little, little, boy.

....but why did it come with free geese?


You've been in the outback too long. Don't you know what fresh lunch is?

After a short diversion, this thread gets back on track...

"Own the car....still paying for the petrol"...

Newest car I ever had was 10 years old in '97 ...when I got it.  It's still hanging in there.....

Now look....if asking for a DB9 in BRG is just too much.....any colour will be just fine....I'll cope....

May 7, 2008 03:24:33
Much faster than my last ride.
