Any good reason to post on both sites?
Stardock Forums
I was just curious if the skins submitted here would eventually wind up over at WC, or if the author would need to submit their skin in both places?
Of course, I realize that the rules state that the skin needs to be posted here first; but I was just wondering.
Some skinners who have uploaded their skins to the GUIC that been approved there have uploaded them to the Gallery Libraries in WinCustomize.
All of the submissions will be automatically migrated to WC after the contest.
All the GUI skins will be migrated to the WC galleries after the competition.
Real original there Zubaz...
Thanks for the help, MasterBaron & Zubaz. Thanks for the laugh, m1!
/me points out the significant differences between Vanilla Ice's bass line in "Ice, Ice Baby" and David Bowie's "Under Preasure". It takes a trained ear/eye to recognize genius compared to idiocy. I figured you would recognize teh latter monkeysmell.
My mother called me monkeysmell once...ONCE. Name teh movie that's derived from you monochromatic chump and I'll let you off the hook, otherwise, I know a liron that's been looking to score a quadraped of your stature for a long time.
Johnny ____________.
*hint, hint*
Sigh, Zubaz...
Finally, the site is down to his level... 
'quadraped"?....what....4 times?
What yer lookin' for is 'quadruped' .... JAFOCHECK ...;)
....and 'liron' puts the 'fe' back into 'feline' .....;)
I wouldn't bother. There's no hope for these folk, they've been Zubazed! 
Of course you realize, we are throwing in Zubish. Also, 'liron' is how Huckleberry Hound says it.
Oh what a mangled web we weave , when zubish talk we do achieve. 
It will not be automatic, but it will happen after the completion of the contest.
I'm curious...will the comments and download count be migrated too?
There are two ways we can do this.
Which would folks prefer?
#2, makes more sense for the skinners to have a good download count but more importantly the comments are not lost. 
I think I would prefer to have it migrated over sooner than next spring. That's really a tough decision..
I hate the idea of losing the comments, but I would like it to be in my gallery and available to people who have not gone over to the GUIC site to check things out.
There is no way to copy the comments over from there to here? I know it would be alot of work, if possible at all, but is there a way?
Another thing to consider... if I upload it here, before the migration, then you guys move it in the spring, will there be a conflict?
Xiandi .. you could post a screenshot and link over to the GUIchamps in the interim.
I'd go for #2
Downloads... If you compare the download count some of these fantastic skins get compared to the mega downloads a crappy Vista clone gets, you'll see the count is unimportant.
What is important are the comments. This is the kind of appreciation which really matters to a skinner/artist and is something not easily replaced.
Some of the people have already uploaded to here. I'd say let those that want it on WC uploaded here and don't worry about the rest.
I just was not sure if I wanted to do that or not. I thought everything would be transferred over right after the competition. But now that I know the comments wouldnt be, maybe I'll just upload it here too, and wait for the transfer in the spring for the comments and download count to be added to it.
