congrats to all winners, enjoy your prizes and gloating privileges

btw for those thinking there's weird choices in there, well just remember that the contest was not judged on personal preference, each skin was taken into account and looked at from a technical and visual stand point. So don't get into the discussion of the winners not being good enough.

RE: Skinning Contest - Here are the winners! by Chris4 on 09-27-2008 at 12:56 AM

Congrats everyone :)

Thank you so, so much Patchou, and to all the users who have downloaded and used my skin!!!
Wow, I think this is the first time I've ever won anything (apart from a small packet of musk sticks about 10 years ago in 4th grade (kinda sad really) :p Now I need to go out and celebrate :D

Once again, thank you so very much! and congratulations to all of the other winners!

RE: RE: Skinning Contest - Here are the winners! by LuckyMe on 09-27-2008 at 02:37 AM

I´m very happy happy with the results, specially when patchou says I win :D , so I want to say thanks to Patchou and all his team, they give us the chance to be here, congrats to Volv and specially to ZOiD (man, a second is always better than a third :P ) and of course to the rest of the winners.

I think i must retribute this prize with more skins so people can expect more of my contributions to the database, one last thing, I will not be happy until i get a first place (6) so i hope there will be another contest someday :P

1321432532 million thanks to all SilverGlazz users, also to people like felipEx, Choli, Chrono (did i forgot you?) ZOiD, and every member of the spanish community

Finally, were you one of the judges or Patchou reviewed them on his own?

Congratulations to every contestant for participating, then winners for winning :P

However, in Oil Slick's options the drop down menu for Display pic size cannot be opened easily. The biggest winner should be supposed to be bugless imho. But really I liked that skin and started using it.

the keyword patchou used in that sentence was probably, which means depending on where things are at. So its better to just let him do his thing and just wait until he is ready to announce something.  So yeah do not take his sentences too literally because the last thing we wanna do is put a sense of urgency in all of this and make him rush a release.

Just use WLM 8.5 for the time being or wait. When you release software, quality and testing is essential.

Uh... You think you're the only person who is going to use the new version? And just in case you think so, let me tell you you're WRONG! Plus! have more than 50 millions users other than you. You think things are going to be just the way you want them to be? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the answer is NO!

Besides, he said "more about that probably next week", and not "That will be released next week". To me that seems to mean "more information about that probably next week".

Well I hate to say this but Patchou's ultimate plan of becoming a millionaire from his spyware has failed. He's been left without power for a week now because he couldn't afford to pay his electric bill. So until further notice, Plus! is on hold until a few thousand people install his spyware program.

* RebelSean runs.

RE: Skinning Contest - Here are the winners! by Willz on 10-20-2008 at 11:24 PM

I think the custom titles are a good idea, I think I suggested it earlier as well. Everyone likes an ego boost right? ;)

But if they get to have a custom title then so do I :refuck:

RE: Skinning Contest - Here are the winners! by Patchou on 10-21-2008 at 03:15 AM

I'll do that, in time.

Note about every winner: you should all have gotten your tablet now. If not, please email me ASAP.

Finally... I've been wondering when someone would ask that. =o

I think it makes sense to set the titles of the 7 winners to "Skinning Contest Winner"... I'd do it right now, but apparently Patchou volunteered to do it himself... :p
RE: Skinning Contest - Here are the winners! by Patchou on 10-21-2008 at 06:38 AM

na, I volunteered to do shirts... everything concerning the forum is up to you Darth DZ
