I've been a member of Wincustomize since 2003. I have seen it go from lots of free skins to 99% Premium skins. I can't see paying for a site to download skins that I have to pay for. As for windowblinds, I don't really need it. It uses a lot of rescources. I won't be renewing my membership anymore. I have better things to spend my money on.
Just so you know, around 43% of the sales of Premium (Master) Skins goes to Stardock to support the site, and in my case I give a lot of what I make away to the poor. There are many free skins still being made too. I try to do one every 3rd to 4th submission when I can, and I know other skinners do too. Please don't give up on WinCustomize.
Also, a lot of Master Skins are being resubmitted to fix a Windows 10 issue with the explorer background color, so it may seem like a lot right now, but they are just older skins being resubmitted.
I agree! I have already downloaded every free skin that was any good on here. The bad thing is I have 547 days left. They used to give some free premium stuff on here. As for Stardock I pay for that too, so the comment they get 43% from sales of skins, then I should get that for free!
Just in case you guys missed it, Vampothica recently very kindly made all of her premium skins free.

Thanks Dave was about to comment same.
...meh...Why bother.
DITTO!
I liked it better when it had ended on something of a positive note.
Take myself, for example. I am in need of extra income, having been without income for the most of the past 15 years. I have tried selling dreams, not going so well, but then, I only put out one master dream, so far. I too will soon be selling windowblinds here, hopefully. We have to make a living somehow.
Sorry you feel like giving up on WinCustomize. That action by others is why we only have a handful of skinners left here.
You do what you gotta do....but so do we.
The main reason for this is that there are only like 5-7 skinners making windowblinds skins these days, and 3 or 4 of those are masters. Almost every master skinner here still gives away a free skin almost every other skin. Take myself, for example.

Anxious to see a Master Skin from you Jim! I'll be buying!
I will be looking forward to it as well. Preview looks awesome.
