55000 downloaded!!! Weeee

' 
What?? Why cheer about a mere 55000 downloads?!?!', you might think...
Well, if it were 55000 gallery downloads it'd be nothing to cheer about, but this is something different.
Last Tuesday, December 2nd 2008 at 2.58 pm, local time, skin no. 55000 was added to my little collection called The Skinventory. [link]
For those not familiar with it; I started collecting skins over a decade and have turned it into the largest known private skins collection in the world.
That's the short version, which you'll have to settle with for now. There will be an 'extended version', as soon as I get more time, of the history behind the collection; when, how and why.
So stay tuned. In the new year I'll also be bringing on alot of skinning related articles, that I have been working on the past months - as time has allowed me. (Haven't had much free time lately)
Oh.... the lucky skin?

WOW! That's a few skins you have there.
In the untimely event of your death have you made arragments to send your hard drive to me? 
Reply #4 Monday, December 8, 2008 4:13 PM
Nope. Unless I access the drive at least once every week, it's set to self-destruct

I had been out of touch for a few years and it just seemed to make sense.
Looks like there is a similar service for the email portion here: http://www.deadmansswitch.net/

Very impressive. I have a hard time making choices from my own meager collection.With that many to pick from,I'd never get anything done.

I tell everyone that if ya need a skin and can't find it, ask Snowman and if he doesn't have it, no one does.

Yup, has to be the most awesome collection ever. He even has versions of my skins I don't have!
Reply #18 Wednesday, December 10, 2008 5:51 PM
I *could* do that, but that'd cause the forum to go belly up
Reply #19 Wednesday, December 10, 2008 6:12 PM
Just for the f**k of it I generated a txt file of all the skins, and I'm 100% sure that the forum/server would start coughing up blood if I posted it here....
2,923,244 chars
236,567 words
55,880 lines
Loaded the file up in Word..... 
Font: courier new at 10,5 = 1001 A4 pages....
I doubt I'd be very popular if I did post it

Hey there Snowman, awesome bloody collection you got there, awesome, how long has that taken you and how much space does it require, I'm just curious, cos I'm on the same route as you, but no where near where you are, but I'd like to get there one day, so congrats, that is one super collection
