Introducing A Skinner’s World

The Skinning.net Community Project

Monday, July 13, 2009 by Jimbo9294 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

2of3 and I were chatting a while back about a new WindowBlinds skin for SDN.
We came up with some ideas and bounced them around to a few people, and the community project idea was set.
The purpose of the project was to design a suite by SDN members to promote this great site and as a tribute of the dedication
SK Originals, Hankers & WOM made throughout the skinning community.
Many of the graphics for the project were inspired by the site and were done by 2of3 before the team was assembled.
With a very talented team assembled the project started in March.
The release was pushed back in order to make the suite the best that it can be.
I have found that Skinning.net means a lot to the project team members. Most of them can tell you the first time SK Originals helped them with a skin. Some can tell you when they had be to set back on the straight and narrow by WOM, as well tell you of the guidance that he and Hankers has given to them. This is a complete suite of skins done by very talented people. I want to thank them all for their contributions and patience.

Go on over to the Downloads Gallery at Skinning.net and check out the suite!Link

I believe that gmc2 has accomplished what he set out to do. 

This thread was an announcement about the release of a Community Suite from the member skinners at Skinning.Net, who are also part of the bigger WC Community.  gmc2 took over the tread and made it about him, and most of use took the bait, hook, line and sinker.  Yes we were coming to the defense of our fellow community members.  Sometimes you can't see the troll until you take the bait.

The things some folks will do just to grab attention.

I mean no disrespect to anyone and I acknowledge the accomplishments of those involved, this is not personal.

This suite wasn't put in motion for any financial gain,

I never mentioned the suite, the suite has nothing to do with the OP.

I can assure you any monetary returns it gets are minimal, I know this as I own a similarly structured site.

granted, but which is desired for the site to operate. I don't know the formula or how it's handled and I assume it has to do with numbers.

You are coming off in someway as entitled to knowledge that would otherwise only be volunteered by others.

John, this is not about me, this is about the community. this is about those pioneers, of which you are one, graciously imparting their hard won knowledge with the rest of us. I generally get my answers in the forums. I just think that sharing will ultimately provide more technically correct submissions thus perpetuating the skinning process.

and try to refrain from insulting long time members when at all possible.

there is no disrespect intended, this is about principles, not personalities.

your link is also incorrect.

Buttons Glows in SkinStudio by NWD last article under windowblinds tutorials, bottom of the page. how can it be incorrect, it is what it is.

I'm a member at skinning.net. There are good people there. They make good skins.

yea, what, you expect me disagree. I respect all of them and even like a few. what are you attempting to imply, that I'm putting the individuals involved down, that's ridiculous.

The more skinning sites that exist the better it is for all skinning and skinners.

not if it's mostly rehash of what is already out there.

I'm surprised at your exclusionary attitude. What is your goal in this thread?

I think the original point was one of disappointment. the site is touted as my first stop in skinning and at the moment isn't true. then I got pissed by some of the responses. Both of you have suggested to step back and that was my intention, it just didn't work out that way.

Oh, and I plan to join, if they'll still have me.

Wrong. The suite IS the point of the OP, and the skinners who spent their time making it.

Most of the skinners on Skinning.net are also members of wincustomize. but that's not all. I'm for one member of skinartistry, skinbase, crystalXP, deviantart, the skinning suite, and fews others. It's my choice to decide in wich site i'll share my stuff and there are only two in that list wincustomize and skinning.net.

Most of the skinners do like me and share their stuff on the site they are involving on. So expect to see the same work again and again in all these site

But this suite has been created for Skinning.net as a community(not only this site or another but all cause the community is the skinners) project.

Everything should have been uploaded on Skinning.net but due the size of certain skins like the IP or screensaver some has been uploaded here.

Anyhow a WC new would have been writen even if every skin'd been on skinning.net. Because WE are a COMMUNITY.

Now Let's move on and back to the original topic. And again i'm glad to be a part of this project and of this community.

because skinartistry was on http://skinartistry.com/ but due a server crash it goes to http://skinartistry2.com/ where it is now. So his url point to nothing

Again Now Let's move on and back to the original topic. And again i'm glad to be a part of this project and of this community.

 My take on this in your own words

a tentative question, please don't hit me, I don't want to piss any of these great artists off but is there a point here???[/quote]

Posted back in Feb. 2009: https://forums.wincustomize.com/340799

A couple of months ago, Tim (2of3) and I, were having a chat conversation that led to a discussion about the people who have influenced us in the skinning community. SK was on the top of both of our list. There is no doubt about the contributions that Hankers, WOM, and SK have made, not only here at Skinning.net but also throughout the skinning community. So we thought…. a Community project done at SDN by SDN members would be a great tribute to their dedication.[/quote]

gmc2 ....looking at your user ID number I would have thought you would already be aware of all the OTHER skinning sites 'out there'....where just about every skinner here is also a member.

so I guess it is a commercial site that is using pre-existing (and a little new) work to attract users(?). it's not really a mirror site but a take off of WC and is looking to use an unoriginal idea(s) to gain advertising share. (just stating the obvious right?)

I find your remarks more than just a bit offensive
I'll chalk it up to ignorance

me too.

gmc2 it would appear that you don't really understand the concept of the WinCustomize Community or how big it is.
 

My advice.. step back, look at the bigger picture...check.. then speak... and try to refrain from insulting long time members when at all possible.

Philly wrapped it up.

Looks Great everyone!!!!!!!!!!

 

I can't get skinning.net to show up in any of my browsers.  I tried IE8, Opera and Firefox.  Is there some trick to getting the page to load?

The link wasn't my problem, and my problem has since been resolved.  Some good people from Skinning.net saw my post and fixed it for me.

It's an awesome suite!  Bravo to all who contributed.
