Spring has sprung [on my end of the planet] - means it's Autumn/Fall on t' other side....... Time for a new batch of Promotions. Congratulations, everyone...... well deserved...

On July 24th, 2001 I received an email from Johanne Chaine [Alexandrie] informing me I'd been accepted as Wincustomize.com's newest Wizop. The only reason I 'remember' the date is that somehow I managed NOT to lose the email after a decade of new systems/computers/whatever. The list of CC's is a veritable who's who of the world of Skinning way back then. iMike, Shoggot, Renato C. Veras Jr, Patrick Ford, Migellito, David Knott, Brad Wardell, Kris Kwilas, Sn...
I am lousy with dates and such.....but as long as I remember my Wedding Anniversary and Terry's birthday all is well.... One date that Hankers reminded me of [dunno how he does it] is June 24 [and it is that already now, here in Australia, so....] Happy Birthday, Frogboy. Wincustomize.com's [and all of Stardock's] members are all "numbered" [eg, I'm '23'] and so it goes that Brad is Number '1'. But he's more than '...
Time flies.... halfway into 2011, but time for the latest round of Wincustomize.com Promotions.

Oh, dear....I kept a lookout and still missed it by a day.... I joined Wincustomize.com on March 21, 2001 ..... and that would have been effectively 'Day One' for the site publicly. Ah, time flies when you're having fun.... Congrats to Wincustomize.com and thankyou, Stardock, for giving us all somewhere to 'play' .....

It's "that time" again when I get the chance to announce the list of latest promotees as determined by the Wincustomize.com crew of devoted Mods. I'm going to deviate from my normal system and point out one particular person whose elevation was due largely/particularly from her involvement in the promotion and establishment of our newest Gallery, - Rainmeter . Thankyou, Karen [ Karmat ]. And congratulations to you all. ...

Well, if the previous one was the penultimate then this one has to be the ultimate.... The very last promotion, Master or otherwise for 2010 is Lightstar. Thomas has been around since Adam was a pup - 8 years is a long time in anyone's book, in fact Yesterday [30th] was 8 years exactly. If you take a quick 'squiz' at his gallery you'll find lots of fun Windowblinds skins, many with impressive DL counts with well over half a million downloads in 'just' the WB section alo...

Always 'fun' to use big words.... Congratulations to a long-time Wincustomize.com member/skinner/all-round good guy - theAVMAN . Harley's been with us for over 4 years now... and I'm sure there are many 'hanging out' for his ascendancy to the pinnacle of skinning-dom.... Be sure to check out his Gallery - http://theavman.wincustomize.com/ A belated Xmas present - or an early New Year's ....

The 'crew' at Wincustomize.com are pleased to announce our latest Master, Reppiks. Ray has been 'around' quite some time in the world of skinning, having been here just on a week over 8 years, in fact. Even when he's not here he's away Modding at Skinartistry so skinning's definitely in his blood. Reppiks hasn't been around of late as much as we'd all like as he's not overly well, so I won't force him to be the tea lady [er man] for a day as would otherwise be the case.....
The last month of 2010 and thus the last promotions for the year too. There are a few Masters to be announced before the New Year - separately, but in the interim.... Congratulations to all the new promotees... It's not 'just' an enjoyable task [doing the promoting] it's also interesting to see where everyone comes from - from around the world...

It seems like ages [and it is] since a Promotions Post, however it's an important one. Island Dog recently caught up with the notification of both Hankers and WOM attaining 'Super Wizop' level, but now it's my opportunity to pass on the 'good oil' that Lantec has also joined them. For those curious as to the 'Super-ness' of a Super Wizop it's all to do with an increase of [specifically] Forum Moderators several years ago which necessitated the [then] current Wizops becomin...
June went by without a squeak. [It's quiet this end of the woods....winter down-under]. THE List was a little short so we hung out 'til this month. ....and like a good wine...the Promotees improved with age.... Congratulations to all ....
