Dear xxx,

Thank you for your recent upload of your Win XP Red Moon for DesktopX.
Unfortunately your upload has not met our guidelines and has been rejected. Reason...XP theme related.
However we do look forward to your future submissions.


Sincerely,
The WinCustomize Staff

 

My very first official moderation/email thingie....

Nothing much has changed [other than me not being able to reset this font size - probably another bug called 'Jafo']...

 

It's been a fun 7 years.....the community has grown from strength to strength...seen some new faces...and some oldies return.....and the Community here at Wincustomize.com is well past 3.2 Million and counting, a far cry from when I joined - there were only 22 ....

So, happy aniversary to me, and let's all look forward to the next 7 years of Wincustomize.com and the eternal search for a new, sexier GUI skin....

Good grief! Seven years around these maniacs!! How do you do it!??

I mean you've survived more pink dolphins, lens flares, flaming Vista Aeros, fractals, Bryce landscapes and Luna clones than anyone I know.

That's certainly worth celebrating!

CONGRATS JAFO!

Perhaps he's not just committed. 
Perhaps he's not just stubborn. 
Perhaps he's just not very bright. 

In any case . . he's ours; with thanks.

Congrats Jafo.
