Wincustomize.com

February 21, 2010 11:39:44 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

I have been using Stardock Software to customize my computer for years now.

Is it really worth 30 dollars a year for a subscription to Wincustomize.com?

 

I have been considering buying one for a while just wondering if it really would make the experience any better ?

I love the site, the community and the software so for me it's worth it. I don’t know about making my experience better other than by subscribing I’m helping to support my community so IMO it’s making my experience better.

If you’re asking about something tangible I know that subscribers get unlimited downloads and a list of premium skin suites.

Let's consider that without WinCustomize  what you wouldn't have available to you is more than likely the biggest library of skins to apply using the software you have. 

I'm not sure that as good as the other sites are in the community that they have the capability to provide that library.

Your subsribing to WinCustomize, along with all the others that have help make all this possible.

Somthing to think about.

In my opinion...absolutely. To be able to view the galleries at 100 skins per page and not to have a bunch of ads are the two main things I like. The free subscriber skins are a plus also.

Thanks for the response DP, Philly, Car  I am going to go ahead and subscribe.

I did not see the 100 skins per page on the subscription page cause that would have probably done it for me

Thanks again

And giving Jafo a hard time is a perk of being a subscriber!

I definitely like the 100 skins per page.......although I haven't seen that option on the Beta for the new site yet..... I hope it will be added.  I guess We'll have to wait and see......... the key word is "Beta" after all.....

It's your money so the bottom line is: The "experience" aside,would helping  support the skinning community make you feel any better?
