Yeap its cool but they forgot to put me on top hehe :p Now,on the serious side,i think thats a good sign,looks like some of the big guys really care about avs!

well done on being mentioned in the news. well deserved

i think a few more people should have been mentioned tho.
still i wish my name was on the main page :)

yeah, well i wish for a car powered by my own self apleasement, but, i don't think it would go very fast :(

I already saw it before. I was really amazed to find myself on that list. It's great to see AVS get some attention. :)

wait for me for another year, then you will see I would be the greatest AVS artist as I am not talking making packs that seriously! :p

Eh, I'm not really that well recognised (yet) in the community, but that's still cool.

Let the mailbox flooding begin...

"I donwloded ur plugin AVS but i cant open it???? HOW ???"

"Ur plugin <name> dosnt work!1!!!!"

"Can u explain how to make vis? thx!"

...

well, happened to me too...considering the fact that I have made only two packs yet!
it almost filled my mailbox 98%!

LOL

No, really, you don't. Having written articles for the front page on numerous occasions, the sheer volume of hate mail you can get from it really isn't worth it.

The fucking flak I took for reviewing the Butthole Surfers album :cry:

Still, I could always write you a "Aussie mod in AVS gay orgy scandal" , or something,if you really like :p


/hmmm, been a while.... goes to write.......

Good to see teh recognition is there maybe giving aboast to the AVS community.

God only know why they didn't have a link to teh AVS forums though. :confused:

Forgot to add

'How do I write a virus with Neo NAzi overtones' ;):)

i thought it's common knowledge that its the biggest mistake to use your real email-address here on winamp.com. i assume that due to its popularity some "spam-companies" scan the site for email-addresses.

why i am assuming this?

i had the suspicion when i first uploaded my winamp skins back in 1998. later when winamp 2 came out, i had to re-register myself, since the old account was gone. this time i god myself an email just for the purpose of uploading avs to winamp.com. shortly after (1 or 2 weeks) i was already flooded with spam (the regular enlarge your penis, make money, meet women etc stuff). remember, i only used the email for winamp.com.

i notified the staff long time ago, back then they said there was no proof for a direct connection. well, that's not true. emails where addressed to the nick i'm using on winamp.com, the subject where in part related to winamp.com and even worse: one a first glance the senders looked like other avs people (jheriko, tuggummi etc). it turned out, the emails are not from them, but just another result of the winamp.com scan.

sad but true :down:

Actually the amount of real spam is nothing compared to the amount of clueless people :)

Thank god I only published my first pack over at Winamp.com...

Otherwise, I won't exactly be able to access my mailbox...

Yay for AVS!!!
Let's just hope they don't continue their coverage over to Devart... I'm guessing a filled mailbox (Read : 1 meg+ per mailcheck) for a good amount of us if that happens...

As for now, let's expect a "few" more newbies coming in here...

First, the winamp main page, then the world!

& why wasn't I mentioned? oh well, soiamrebornagain does appear in that featured component box after all, can't really complain.

Shouldn't have to worry about devart though, remember they're attitude towards AOL. Suprised they even support AVS considering winamp.com is basically owned by AOL.

hehe, i always hope that my name will get mentioned on a list like that, but then i remember that i never really post anything that i make :)

Well i also changed my email add to a bogus one a while ago, i used to get even responses to "my mails" that "i" have sent to some people... Stuff just like "So cool a flash, check it out" "Hentai XXX girls nude" :p

Also i get a lot of emails from "Unconed" "Jheriko" "Danjoe" "Blazer" etc... :D

Why can't winamp.com have a option to hide the email from public? Because i would still like get notified when a new pack has been reviewed... And also if i forgot my password how the hell im going to retrieve it if i have a address like "diespammer@sikanauta.com" :igor:

I've had the same hotmail adress for over a year and i get at least 40 or 50 spam e-mails a day. I've got the junk mail fileter on high though so it narrows it down to about 30 a day. I've got really good at figuring out whch ones are spam. and i get about 1 worth reading every couple of days. Fucking nightmare. And you're telling me it'll get worse when i release presets. /me goes off to create new e-mail address.

I don't get any spam email at all for some reason. I think my pop3 server has a built-in junk-mail filter.

im @ hotmail too but i dont get spam or i get 2-3 emails/day tops...Use email aliases , they are cool and free.Search with google :)

i use a hotmail address for anything that i think is going to get exposed, and 2 others for private things :)

i only get ,say 2-3 spam a day, but my inbox is full with winamp.com messages, i have to have me junk filter on extreme, so only my safelisted people get sent to inbox. dam corporate giants, try and sell your cheep crap to me will ya :mad:. owell, i can;t exactly do anything about it, i'll probly be ushered into a dank ally and shot :D

What's this "probably" business? :p

I dont get any messages from winamp.com hehe.If you are subscribed to some threads i recommend u unsuscribe cause it will only fill your inbox with messages you will see anyway so its just a waste of time and space IMHO.

meh, i need too, or i'll forget which threads in subscribed to and become even usless than i'm now (if thats possible :p)

click on "my Control Panel" at the top, it'll show you what you're subscribed to.

yer, but it only shows recent 1's, i can;t go back a month or watever, it tells me that i am not subcribed to any

You can go back. Just click on the pulldown menu and change it to "the beginning". It should be an option.

Yeah, it will go over the last 1000 days

yer, nothing comes up, it screwed
