Um theme download sections?


Recommended Posts

How about theames download sections which make way easyer to find people work for xp or longhorn stuff? It's hard look at the threads with so many pages updates on people works.

That's a lot easier said than done. Bandwidth, storage space, copyright issues all play a role in something like that. This is a tech community, not an art community. I don't think something like that really fits in to the larger picture.

The downloads aren't necessarily hosted at Neowin, I guess the current concept could be worked out a bit better in order to suit the needs for something like this.

But I don't think there's enough demand and we have to really think if it fits into what neowin is. It's a community for discussion of technology. Something like that makes us seem like we want to copy off of the million and one sites that have theme sections.

Yes, I agree with you.. it should not become a major part of this site. But I guess if there were some quicklinks to popular themes in the downloads section that wouldn't hurt anyone. :)

"popular" means what is hot for one week. Themes come and go so quickly. There are no more be all end all themese because people's standards have been raised. Then, with that idea, we have the issue of what deems something popular.

I'm just playing devil's advocate on this one.

You got that one right.

The themes you see are hosted across the internet. deviantART, Get Skinned!, Customize.org, ThemeXP.org, Dumbass Jones, Crescent - PC, and so on, to name a few. It will be near impossible to host themes like this unless Neowin opens up a part of it for that sole purpose, like Crescent - PC. Also, it will take up a lot of bandwidth, and I heard that Neowin is in serious shortage of it already.
