Looking For Skin/Skinner Of The Year Nominations

Closing out 2007 With a Bang

Tuesday, December 11, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News

2007 is quickly drawing to a close, and wow what a year it's been!  The new WinCustomize, Vista, Dreams, SoundPackager, Xion, WindowBlinds 6, the Charity Drive, the Alienware Contest, and more spectacular skins than you can shake a stick at!

Around this time of year, a lot of sites start doing their "Best XYZ of 2007!" lists, and I thought maybe we could get in on the fun with a few of our own lists to mark the best work of the past year.

Nominate your:

  • Favorite Skinner
  • Favorite Skin from Library X

In order to nominate someone for consideration, post a comment below with who/what and for which category.  Nominate as many people/skins for as many categories as you like.  If you're not comfortable posting publicly, you can PM me via the forums... BUT if you're going to PM me you have to do it in a very clear format.  If you don't give me a nomination in this format, I will not count it.

  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]

Go ahead and nominate for any library you like.  However, if a library gets less than five items nominated, I won't be running a poll for it.

You have to get your nomination in by end-of-day Wednesday, December 12th.  We will start running polls over the weekend to determine the favorites, with the results posted before the new year.

And should say in all fairness...for the short time Messiah has been skinning docks he has put out some awesome docks as well and has filled in the much needed gaps I was neglecting and is without a doubt a dockmaster in his own right...So can he get a statue as well....not as big as mine though mind you.


WebGizmos is the man who taught me how to make docks...without him, I probably would have given up. He was very patient with me in all my questions. And believe me, for awhile there, I was bugging him ALOT. If not for the Dockmaster General, there wouldn't be docks from messiah1.

Messiah...I appreciate the kind words...can never get enough of that but you give me to much credit. You really didn't bug me at all. You were a quick study and you have put some really awesome stuff...made me jealous even! And you've even gone on to skin some other awesome stuff. The tiles you do are really great....the Xion and Rainlender skins you've done are also great...and I can't wait to see this WB skin your working on.

All kidding aside....As far as I'm concerned your my equal when it comes to docks!

Hey yeah! Good idea WebGiz!

We can shape Messiah's statue in the form of a SilverBack Gorilla, then sit back and watch him kill it!

Catch all that on film then sell it to Animal Planet!

We'll be millionaires!

Thanks Curtis! My first vote....you've made my day


Let me tell you how difficult that was Jack!

My choices for 2007 IP's besides yours narrowed down to Damian "MrSkope" Strain's Footure, Cycoced's Post TeneBra Lux and Basj's GlassMaxX!

They were dead on your ass, but Mack to me was just too Scrumptious!

You a bad dude and 2007 has been a most masterful year for Skinhit!

CP: You've got to place Adni18, Skinhit, MrSkope, Richard Mohler, Fuzzy Logic, Alperium, DuoPixart, JJYing, Mormegil, Treetog, Gef, Fairyy~, MikeB, Patrick24, Kenwas, Z71, Tycus, Josephs, Messiah1, Bilbo, Cavan1, vlad, ModBlackmoon, Island Dog, Cycoced, tehZero, Diafragma and APB.


Chasbo: People who make coming here fun: Cplair, AZDude, Fairyy, Jafo, Snidley Whiplash, kittymalone and many others.


The fact that any of you even mentioned my name is more than enough for me...
I don't think of myself as a ' skinner' at all. There are far too many talented people here...

To me the real skinners are the ones that create and design the skins.

Which is why I nominated buzzh58 ( buzzh58 has been unable to be here for the past few weeks, hopefully he will be back soon ) Without his ideas and designs Im pretty hopeless in doing much right now.

The same goes for jazzmjr and Night Train - both supply me with awesome graphics to work with. Night Train gave me a ' blanket permission ' to make skins using his work.
That speaks for itself, he doesn't even feel the need to check my work...

In the end it won't matter who ' wins ' really. But I wish you all the best.

n general I'd like to mention a few other people cause I love their work so much and they are "good people". jj ying sets a standard for excellence. vStyler ditto. Buzzh58 for some wonderful DX themes. Boss019 a long time favorite of mine. His walls rule.


Thanks so much Chasbo....and I agree totally with your other choices...

Folks give it up to a tremendously gifted man, a respected community leader, and a wonderful friend!

WebGiz, you can say that I saved the best for last!


Thanks Cp! Very much appreciate your support and friendship!

Docks belong to WebGizmos. He has provided more in this area than anyone else. Quality and quantity.


Thanks to you also Chasbo for your support and friendship!

Having said that...I think Messiah has also contributed much to the community with his most excellent docks...and one hell of a nice guy as well!

Guys . . enough hinting around it.  I can't accept the nomination and de facto win as Skinner of the year.
You know it, I know it . . enough of you have been fed skins from me thast it's now an open secret, all the skins here at WC are mine.

OK, I said it.  Now lets just move on.

-sigh-
