Hey guys. Just sitting here, thinking about you all, my time here, and getting old.
I have been in a lot of pain the last few years, working harder than I did before I "retired". A few health problems.
I miss the everyday goings on here at WC. Seems like there are soooooo many new names (a good thing), yet soooo many of the old timers are gone. ( A bad thing ) Shame... I know a lot of them are alive, just lost interest, lurking, maybe.
I have a very long list of who I miss.
( Boxxi, you are number one in DX, sorry I'm not gonna get to take you down...lol )
I have several skins unreleased due to the original artist fading away. Good skins, it sucks.
Original skins? I have many, and I have 3 unfinished windowblinds just waiting. The urge is gone.
I test a bit for several skinners here. Gives me something to do, I guess....feel a bit useful.
Looking at stats I see I'm still in the top 3 in top skinners for the last 3 months, yet I haven't skinned in a while. (Dunno how that happened)
I wonder if anyone is still interested in anything other than dreams and windowblinds…..
I miss DesktopX badly. But if no one can get it anymore, kinda takes the wind outta your sails.
I have Master status. Why? Who knows? Truly, I never considered myself a master. I just liked doing the "art". But I feel like I lost a bunch of family sometimes. (My best friend Wiz stands out most, but we have lost many others.)
Ahh, getting old sucks.
I want to end this by saying that I appreciate all the support over the years. This is a good place to be, here at WC. I hope many more skinners, enthusiasts, gamers, etc. decide to become members of our clan. I may not be as visible as I used to be, maybe I'm more of a lurker, but I'm still here. I hope some of you still care if I am. Most of you don't even know me. Sometimes, I miss being PuterDudeJim. RedneckDude is ok, but his stats show him being a tad "newer" that the actual truth. Oldies know...
Good friends, good fun, good memories.
Hey Elvee, damn its been a while. How old is you son? I to miss our BS sessions. And like I said earlier I to miss all the old people. And I still use W7 and I've been stuck on Valiant by LightStar.
Yeah, I miss so many of the old crew who inhabited these 'ere forums. There are too many to mention, so I won't name names to save leaving somebody out. But yeah, there were some great threads that kept this place abuzz with fun and laughter.
One thread in particular was Bichur's 'My Throbber's Broken'. We had so much fun with that one. And then there was the one with the bloke who believed he couldn't open a Joe User account because of his political persuasion. I don't recall its proper name right now, but it ended up being known as the 'pirate thread' because a few of us took it way off course and took the 'mickey' out of the OP. Hehe, and I became known as Cap'n starkers.
Yup, they were the good old days. Miss 'em heaps.
Damn. I missed that one. Hey cap'n...care to elaborate.
Here's the link to that thar thread.... https://forums.wincustomize.com/122170/page/1/#replies
It starts off with the OP complaining about not being able to create a Joe User account [since edited] and other posters having a bit of 'conspiracy' fun. It then goes on the become the pirate thread.
Have fun reading.
Hi Guys! Mike, He is eight and thinks he has the world figured out.
We are getting to be the elders. Others will look up to us are our work. I made my 1st skin back in 2005. Here we are in 2019 and still doing it. I like skinning for the challenge to myself to create something different. Will be 62 in May. We are a bunch of old farts who enjoy skinning.
Most of the younger do not have the patience to skin. they dl skins and go not caring what effort it took to make it. Society is part to blame i feel. Nobody has time for anything anymore cause life is so buzy. Skinning is my enjoyment cause i got the bug a long time ago. Cliff from skinnalicious was my 1st inspiration. I will keep skinning as long as we have programs that can be skinned. My old favorite is too broke to skin now. Sysmetrix.
