NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!. This glitch just cost me the Top Bootskin Author Spot Yesterday and again today. https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=TopAuthorsExtended Check it. In the Bootskiners List My Downloads are split into two Names. UzEE & UzEE!! . What happened here? 
If it wasnt for the glitch I would have been the top Downloaded Bootskin Author.

If you didn't have multiple nicks, or you could keep up with which one you're using when uploading, perhaps you wouldn't have this problem. I suspect you only have yourself to blame for this 'glitch'.

Yes, they take the work of the original author and move it to a different program.

I wouldn't be knocking people who port skins to other skinnable proggies. They do take work to create. Yes a bootskin, a rainy or an objectdock doesn't take as long to make as a WB Skin, but they do take time. The originality, developing an idea and turning it into something might be lost, but the work is still there and we all benefit from it

Yes, Im well aware that it takes work to port a skin/wallpaper or whatever.
Exactly.
My second remark, was, admittantly a little 'tongue in cheek.'

This seems like the right thread to express something...
A bootskin and a wallpaper are not the same thing. Taking a nice wallpaper and converting it to a crappy pixelated image is so wrong I have to contain myself. Has anyone to date taken a bootskin and converted it to a wallpaper? NO! Why? because bootskins have a different use than wallpapers.
Uzee, this is not an attack on you personally, you just happen to fit into the group.
What happened to the art of creating a bootskin? Trying to create one using 16 colors that looks good is very difficult. Porting every wallpaper that comes along is causing everyone to lose touch with the art of creating a bootskin. Please stop porting wallpapers for bootskin usage. They ALL look like poop. Get back to basics and create something new, original, and works as a bootskin. I know my words are confusing and I know I am going to offend alot of people but I just had to say what I had to say. For the bootskin authors that I offend....you have misssed so many opportunities it is rediculous. Here are a few
Windows XP fart edition
Windows XP lazy addition
Windows XP going to sleep edition
Windows XP I cant create anything for myself edition
Windows XP breakfast edition
Windows XP lunch edition
Windows XP dinner edition
Windows XP midnight snack edition
5736 wallpapers in the WC libraries. 1014 bootskins. That leaves 4722 wallpapers waiting to get "ported" to bootskin.

Totally agree on this. That is why I reject all the permission request to port any of my walls into BootSkins, beside I port them my self
I also hate when they port a wall into a Logon but leave the default buttons and user images. It's like a half-way-done bad job. >

Hey I do both the stuff, I port Walls and also Create originals. which reminds me...
Jafo did you get my mail.
Now back to the topic. porting isnt a good thing and i agree with it. But here are some stuff out there asking to be ported and I port them. Plus they also get downloaded . Well not many subscribers do that but normal users do. 
And cuz of my Porting Habbits, Jafo today Moderated my two Original Bootskins and said I need permission to upload them. So hold on while i go mail my self to get permission to port em...

You'll have to include permission from yourself for using your own work that you created
I agree with everyone above that not all ports is created equal and there is good ports and bad ports.
