Amazingly enough, Beer wasn't an option.

She only votes for Beer because Rum is never an option around here.

BINGO!

[ezrunner]

Yeah DAWG the validity of this thread and poll can be called into question without Beer as an option

[kjjb0204]

I don't care. Maybe I don't care because I have yet to find a theme that I actually like more than the standard Verizon theme. I like it simple.

well I was going to add it but I knew it was aserious issue so I decided to try and leave it that way.

I see the mods have already made up their minds so what does it matter anyway.

[juwaack68]

OMG. My retinas just burnt out.

[ScottMB4]

Wait, the mods have already made up there minds?

[John Clark]

Dawg!! Didn't I see that in the Self-Portrait thread?

On beer - that's our vote, for now. We plan on consuming enough beer to make a valid decision once the booze kicks in and naked adult twister has gotten old.

That is one helluva funny pic

p.s. Dawg, edited poll to include the obvious answer.

Ok, on a serious note, I could care less whether paid themes are allowed or not. Honestly, I haven't ever bought anything for my device - theme, wallpaper, ringtone, etc. Nothing has blown my skirt up enough to make me want to pay for it.

However, I voted to ban the troublemakers, which is what we do now for anyone who breaks the rules here by harrasing other members - theme or not.

I know it's been said - multiple times - but if someone wants to build a theme and sell it, it's up to others whether or not they want to pay for it. If you don't like a theme that you see, offer constructive suggestions for improvement. Otherwise keep your trap shut and move on.

[juwaack68]

And as long as I'm on a roll, if you do post a theme and someone does decide to be a jerk about it, grow a thick skin and consider the source - don't stoop to their level.

While I'm all for folks selling their work, and also think that if you don't think it's right shut up and don't buy it, I do think that the advertising here is getting a little out of hand. Lately there are some developers who are contributing nothing more to this forum than to talk about their latest theme for sale. I think if this is going to be allowed, then it should be moved to some sort of separate market place forum.

i don't know how you can "ban the troublemakers" when some comments are misconstrued...example, i mentioned that a pay-for-theme didn't offer much and used a lot of stock images, etc....if improved upon, like making custom icons, etc, then i think the theme would be worth paying for...this was considered troublemaking...personally, i think that is constructive criticism - what doesn't work and how to fix it...

i voted for making them pay for advertising...

If the constructive criticism is just that - constructive - then there are no problems with it.

However, if someone responds with "well that's just stupid", or "a one eyed ogre could make that"...well, that's not necessary.

Cripe, it's a theme. Who cares? I went to a 3yr old's funeral this week. Put some perspective on it, people.

I think it makes sense to create their own commercial site.

I'm all for buying an ad on BBF... I know how much traffic comes from this forum to my theme site..and I appreciate it.
