When I first began submitting here ratings and dl counts where very important to me.Now I realize ratings are nearly worthless(I have a 6 rated skin with over 60,000 dl's 
),and while dl counts are a better indicator of a skins true value,COMMENTS are what really blow up a skinners skirt. 
Even the bad ones.I would rather see "thats just ugly" than be ignored.We especially like feedback that is a little more in depth than "great skin"(but we'll take it 
)(unless its Jafo,if he leaves 3 words,one of which is his name... 
you have done well).So if you like something,tell us.And skinners,talk back to them.It gives a warm fuzzy to your commenters when you answer back.(I got a super nice one from MikeB314,it made my day 
)
oh yeah,the real reason for this post...I just went past a half million in my dl count 
Thank you all from I.R. Brainiac(send money...no really,send money,I'm homeless and the police sold my van. 
)

Hi IR 
Hope you're holding in there, lived under a hedge myself over 20yrs ago. Done my forces bit and was roaming around wondering what to do next - all at a time of high unemployment etc.
I made it back into the World (for better or worse hehe) and I'm sure at the time, that I didn't have as positive an attitude as you seem to have, or as many friends ......
So wishing ya fair weather and good luck.

Jeez, I.R.B ....it never rains ~but it pours for you, doesn't it?!
Pretty darned low for someone to steal from another in the first place, but when that other person is already doing it as tough as you are, I think that's just deplorable.
Here's hoping that person/s karma comes back to bite them on their ass...
Good luck with the housing appointment!

That's great, IR, I'm really pleased for you....on that count!
On the other hand, I'm sorry to hear your puter was stolen and hope you can either recover or replace it real soon.
I know how it feels....some years back I was burgled while in hospital...losing most of my electrical goods...value around AU $12,000. Worse still, the thief was one of my neighbours, someone I had previously trusted and helped out when they were down.
Anyhow, your accomodation is sorted, so let's hope it's only one step of many towards a much brighter future for you.

Brianiac's origional post was awesome! The comments, gang...remember the comments...I have posts with over a thousand downloads on 'em and nobody has said a word! Are they so bad that someone thinks if they download them enough they will get the last one out of the gallery sooner or later? I'd love to hear from the folks that download my stuff, sadly, I very seldom do
Congrats Braniac on the milestone!

How true! Particularly when we've got pollies and pencil pushers up in arms about text books in schools for children of gay unions, how texts with gender specific family models discriminate, create stigmas and puts them at risk of bullying, isolation.
What an all important priority! They're looking to protect this minority of kids from texts containing gender specific parenting roles, yet kids as young as 12 can divorce their parents, become parents themselves, and draw government benifits which allow them to live in de-facto relationships with adults, drink alcohol, smoke dope and cigarettes.....all with government blessing. Doesn't matter that they're below the age of consent, can't vote or serve the country, no siree, yet it's perfectly okay for them to screw around, pickle themselves in harmful substances, jeapordise their own lives and those of their unborn or newborn children....how's that for prioritising!
Sorry everyone, I'm bitching again, but it makes me so darned angry that governments legislate regarding telemarketing phone calls, etc, while our youth and future is being flushed down the toilet through inaction.
