My personal most memorable moment of the past year has to be when I reached the 1 million DL mark (specially since I had only been here a little over 1 yr)
There was also that time when the servers crased and we all pitched together to help upload the missing files. That was pretty cool.
JD I haven't argue with Jafo (yet) But the year is not over.
BTW. A big THANK YOU to all the artist here at WC.

Best Experiences...
I've met a great bunch of classy folks here
Memorable experiences...
Bones and the crew at Skinartistry
I learned how to properly say "Aussie"
I learned that to write in proper english, I needed to replace all the Z's with S's and toss in an occasional U
China's toe still waiting to see her fonts
yrag's woody
still not sure if that's a good thing or not.
Stumpy's smileys
IP's leftward leanings and frankness has opened my eyes on more than one occasion, this I'm sure is a good thing.
Helenangel's friendship
IR's wit
Old Crab's tales >
Fuzzy and feline's chocolate and strappy clothing fetish
Lady snowman ain't no lady BTW thx again for the Barney tape
Boxxi the skinning machine
Kona's first bootskin....
NT's support and encouragment for my lack of graphical ability
and a whole big bunch of other great folks....including latin
As for me personally
Becoming admin at Skinartistry
My promotions here
My Jafo Never Sleeps lyrics
and this silly parody I wrote https://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WC&id=247865
Essencay is done rambling and will go sit in a corner now.

I got shot down by Jafo once, and I was afraid to post for a month!
I did get promoted [not sure how or why, but good anyway]...and
I think I helped DWatson break his habit of plugging Google in every thread!

Entering the GUIO with 3 skins. Imagine, just me, a boy from Texas, in an international competition. Kinda blows me away.
Deciding to learn Winamp 5 skinning and sticking with it ... in spite of the coding challenge. Sorta goes with the GUIO. Haven't written any code to speak of in 25 years!
Being asked to admin over at Skinartistry and at the Skinartistry Workshop. Thanks Bones!
Being promoted here at WC. I'm not big on titles, but it's still a cool thang.
Working on the two community skins I was involved with.
Probably a lot more I can't think of right now.

Having to make the decision to shut down the message board to deal with an 'issue', while 1000+ people were logged in.
Remember that one, well...

Was that when the server had to be reset to kick a particularly annoying fellow?

Being involved in the skinning community the past year has been a pleasure beyond words. Thanks to everyone for their support, even the not so friendly people. Now and then even they open my eyes.
I have met some extremely decent people and I look forward to meeting more.
There is a pretty good chance that if you are reading this, you are one of those decent people.

I got promoted! That was pretty cool...good to have that kind of recognization.
Argued with Jafo...and lived!
Was on a team with a guy that won a GUIO prize. EventHorizon, you're awesome! Mime rocks!
Made my first WindowBlind skin. I even thought it was good enough to put in the GuiO's. Made a second skin too, and neither has sucked too badly. Second skin got more downloads in 4 days that my first one has right now.
Finally did some work in DX...havin fun with that!
Chatted on IRC for the first time ever...now its a common occurance for me.
Got a steady girlfriend.
Put some of my work on other sites, and started interacting with the rest of the skinning community. Still not doing tons, but I'm trying.
Got myself a new computer (8 months ago) and it has enhanced my experiences on winC and with all skinning!
Ok...thats what I remember right off the bat, not necessarily in that order though.
Edit: My bytes downloaded now exceed my UserID number!
