But he just came out with the new "Dungeon Skin" for vB3 while all these people who have paid all that money are being ignored.. Pretty lame..

I bought the Dungeon skin on Wednesday and noticed it had some bugs in it. Corey and I had several exchanges back and forth through the support system till everything was worked out. I had also got my skin after payment instantly. I have never had a problem with Corey and support in the year that I have been buying skins. Corey has always been there to help.

P.S. I had to reply to this message under this old name because my other name wouldn't accept my new email address as licensed.

I have a story to share about my experiances with Corey.
About two years ago, when I first bought vBulletin, Corey and I agreed that he would make me a skin, and install it for vB2 for $50 dollars. I know this is cheap and he usually charges more, but we both agreed to this price.

This was back in September 2001.

I would send him an AIM msg about every week asking him how progress is, and he would ignore me most of the time, or say it's fine.

November 2001, I get an email. It's a .jpg of the forumhome skinned, and it looked pretty snazzy. I asked him when he was going to install it, and he told me he was too busy and I should slice the image and install it myself.

The problem with this:

a) I only had the forumhome skinned
b) I had no buttons
c) I didn't pay 50 bucks for a .jpg, I paid 50 bucks for a skin

So basically, I got ripped off.
I am not trying to flame anyone in this. I am just sharing my experiance with Corey.

I have been overseeing this thread. Complaints of Corey and my own small little problems have persuaded me to go with the team of Dameon and Matt from Inside The Pixel. I am happy that Corey has come out to this thread and responded to the clients that have been left in the dark amidst this recently decline in Mr. Wojen's business ethics.

I am happy that Corey admitted that his ethic has declined. It is a bold move to come out and tell us that. We deserve to know, clients and potential clients alike. It seems as if Wojen has a "new life" as I like to call it. Let's hope it turns out well.

I guess I might as well input my little Wojen story. I have contacted him numerous times over different potential projects. I guess it got annoying that he would reply and not get the job. I still feel that I should get replies. My friend is going with him for a big forum project. He replied an hour or two after my friend sent a request for a quote, asking him to elaborate on what he wants. My friend has confidence in Corey, and that can be a good thing.

The InsideThePixel team seems well fit for taking on what Corey does. It is a good setup. Dameon designs, Matt codes. My project is fairly large. It is a top-notch forum design, numerous hacks (some of which require more images), and installation. It has been about 1 and a half month since Dameon first confirmed the beginning of my project. My experience has been 99% good, 1% bad. I think the bad just came from my anticipation. :) In my opinion, Dameon and Xelation can do anything Corey and his team can do. They even have a custom PHP programmer that works exclusively for them. I see potential, and they will suceed. Trust me. His name is known all over, and he has been designing for only 3 months.

Who would I go with? Right now, I see Dameon being my choice. Corey is excellent, but I would first have to see an improvement in how he runs his business.

I have been in contact with Corey for well over one year for a QUOTE a simple quote on a site that I needed designs for. I was more than willing to shell out thousands for the many skins I needed. Everytime it was like well we need this for design inspirations and this and that and the other thing. Now I am on the hunt again for some serious designer who wants to make some loot. Corey just got too me way too much and I am sorry to see that I really am. The guy does some great work but if you cannot be consistent with your clients then you will not be around for very long.

People are talking about cutom templates not premade. Cutom templates he supports a bit better and also the get right away isn't him activating it its a script.

I got a few skins from Corey, but I don't remember my username/password to login to download them again. I accidentally deleted the photoshop images and now I need them again.

He won't respond to my emails that I've sent. Any ideas on how I can get the photoshop images?

ya at memebers login say forgot your password ;)

I don't even remember what my username was or the email I subscribed with....it was a long time ago.
