The New Official Group for Steam Customizer

==== WOW!

Good evening, it's 23:26 here in Britain and hurricane Matt is just off the coast of Florida.

Now we don't post often... we've been quite busy maintaining the service (and our fragile lives) and would like to thank everyone participating! In this brief time that SteamCustomizer existed, there have been 140K users and 60K skins. In fact, there are more Skins created on the site in 2 hours than in all of history before the arrival of this service!

Now all these wonderful skins being submitted, there wasn't really a way to see them. Until now.

We're proud to announce SteamCustomizer Galleries - check out our launch video below:

I'm personally inviting everyone to give it a go and see what others have made! And by all means, create and share your Skins!

TOP FEATURES:

> Explore by date, time, etc
> Submit to public or hidden view
> Metadata view
> Free donuts


==== What's next?

Now that we got the hardest bit done - we'll start to work on the Editors immediately. That's right, Editors. We intend to add more types of Skins you can customize and expand the options of the default one as much as we can.

We received a lot of feedback from our users and we've carefully considered every idea.
Over the course of the next few months, we'll update the editor and allow more freedom in customization. At the same time, we're hoping to update the Skin Manager as it is already quite primitive by our standards :)

==== Community Activities

As a part of our launch, we might be holding a Skin Contest quite soon. But first, we need to make sure our server doesn't crash from the new features.

==== Why the ads?

Some of you might be wondering - well, the internet is full of ads, and now these guys are doing it. Great. To answer that - it costs a lot of money to host this service. It's been hosted from our own (and also some other kids') lunch money for over half a year now. It's not sustainable for us to keep paying it, so we're hoping that you won't use Adblock and allow this website to continue, well, existing. We didn't expect there to be so many users and so many skins this quickly, our resource utilization is through the roof

Later we might introduce some options that will allow you to disable ads.


==== Overall

I don't like lengthy announcements, so that's where I'd like to wrap it up.
Once again, thank you all for participating in the BETA stage of this project. We're looking forward to bringing you more features soon.

Stay tuned and please don't send me any more Faxes, I've ran out of those donuts months ago!

Oh and before I forget - there will be bugs. Post them here or email us!
