    Most of the premium builders here have and still do give away some themes free, so what's your complaint?

    And why start another thread about this same BS?

    Wow! That is one long azz sentence!

    There are plenty of great FREE themes here. There are tons of great themes that are very very cheap too. Whats the complaint? If you don't like the ones that are FREE then feel free to make some yourself and maybe sell em too. These guys work very hard to make free themes and a $1 to $3 is not too much to ask.

    ok... um... again might we point out that there is this key on your keyboard, its down one row and slightly to the right of the L, its called a period and looks like this.

    use it!

    I was going to make an attempt at correcting your post but its so poorly written that i cant even do it.
    You should really stop worrying about free themes and try picking up a text book.

    Its simple.. just dont buy themes that look like crap.


    @hydroz..... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA great post FTW!

    If you want crappy free themes then what exactly are you complaining about? Go get one or two. And if that wasn't what you meant, my apologies. I had trouble slogging through that post trying to make sense of where the sentence structure was, if it even existed.

    a lot of us theme developers do this as our only source of income (damn economy rofl) so we dont make many free themes (unless they are simple) you should try searching "im a cheap *** and cant afford $3 for a theme but pay for a $30 data plan"

    Some of us have no problem paying for themes - got BeFroyo DOES for $3 and works perfectly on my S2.

    LOL...well said Alex. I dabbled in theme building and even my "simple" themes required a heck load of work. To be honest $3 is a bargain for all of that work.

    thanks lane

    I can speak from experience. Even free themes require a TON of work to make them worth a dang. I have spent lots of money on "premium" themes that weren't worth it. And found some free ones that were total gems.

    But, as someone who works a 55 hour a week job, and stays up late at night to build themes, I understand that everyone's time is worth something. Whether they choose to be compensated with grateful replies to their threads or a few bucks...it's up to them...it's their time...their hard work...their creation that that are sharing with us.

    And the good thing about thembuilding is...downloading TB is FREE...hunker yourself down and get to buildin...........I can't wait to see how much you think YOUR time is worth.

    I do see what the poor guy is saying. There are lots of themes out there that are $3 - $8 that really, imo, have no business being sold. Some themers make you pay for a crappy themes and some themers give away awesome, outstanding themes for free. It all works both ways.

    Plus, some people would like to see what they are going to spend their money on and some themers don't post the correct screen shots so that us buyers can see what we are spending our money on.

    We know that if we don't want to pay then DON'T PAY and if you see a theme that honestly deserves to be paid for then PAY FOR IT.

    I'm not siding with anyone here... I see all points... I just think we need to get back to being civil and let it go.

    I came to CrackBerry because I love how all the people on here are so helpful and nice to each other, and yes I know there are those idiots on here who must insult people just to make their pitiful lives seem like its worth something, but lets all get back to being helpful and nice.

    Don't make fun of me now for being a sap either LOL

    Very well said!!

    It takes a lot of time and effort to create a nice theme.
    Why should anyone expect to get something for nothing!

    There are plenty of good quality free themes, it's a trade off, spend the time to find them here for free and you'll spend no money, or save your time and spend money to get them or..... learn to make your own. But, don't complain that people are putting in their free time to make something and expect a bit of compensation for their efforts, that is a decision they make.
