I couldn't answer because I don't know. I was hoping you would see it, and answer. Still don't know. But please don't leave us. You're wanted here.

Ummm.... A Vital Part Of This Community, LOL, you were trying to be funny right.... 
Anyways I want to make one thing clear, i have gotten the feeling that everyone thinks i'm making issues about stats and downloads,ect., maybe in a way, but not in the way you all think.... My main issue is fairness, and that's one thing that i'm not seeing here, first off, lets take this wallpaper issue, when you submit a good amount of walls (10-12), and everyone gets turned down without even a reason why, then you see some medioker work get posted, and then to top it off they end up with rediculas ratings, thats bull, and before someone gives me this crap about bettering my work, or some other excuse like copyright law crap, then maybe you should look at some of the stuff being posted, if your gonna run a policy in such a rediculas manner then it should apply to all, than you might as well take more than half the items off this site.... what about Game images, Harley images Nascar images (just to name a few), I have downloaded these things just to see how many (as Jafo put it once) Actually had SPECIFIC CONSENT, to use whatever images may have been used.... and none i downloaded had any permision what-so-ever.... Yes i may use some images, but the walls i make are mine, I create them you won't see them anywhere else unless i post them there. and lets not forget the 245,5 average of emails i get daily between 2 sites just for my walls alone.... Another Example: How on earth does somethinf like this (and mind you I am not trying to offend anyone, or knock their work), But how do these:

Hi Linx, first I wan't to say please stay here. Your work is appreciated and the fact that you don't have 10's doesn't change that!
Looking at the above sceenshots I would have to say that the ratings do not just reflect flash graphics, but also usability. While your skins look really cool, the other skins in #5 seem to be easier on the eyes and hence easier for everyday use (mind you that I say this based only on the above screenshots, I don't actually have downloaded the skins). I am sure if you would create your future skins with usablility in mind, you would attract higher ratings too. Flash graphics are just one part of a really good skin, and less is often more.
Also I think the skins in #5 are a part of a skin-suite and might therefore attract higher ratings from users as well (people like having everything matched up).
I think my point is; having a rating of 5 or 6 is not a bad rating (1 is a bad rating). Just try to improve your work. And most importantly; don't stop skinning!!

I want to thank everyone for their imput, and everyone has made their points, and Aufisch, those skin packs do match alot of theme ideas, i think the screenshots here (screenshot catagory) proves they are usable, but thanks for your imput and i have taken everyones points into consideration, Thanks again, but that leaves me with a question, i have been trying to upload a Skin Pack, and i haven't done anything different when preparing my work for up-load, but everytime i try, i keep getting either "Page Cannot Be Found" or "Server Cannot be Found" Pages, is there a size limit in the rainy catagory, and do i have to split this pack up? (which will suck).... Let me know what the problem may be! Thanks

I was also thinking since i deleted just about everything from here and if anyone wants to still see it (because i don't know if Admin will let me resubmit them, besides they have enough to do then resubmit old stuff), you can see them hereLink

Great to hear you're staying. 
I can't help you with your uploading problem though, I would suggest to email one of the admins.
Also, I know from previous incidents that the Admins here are very helpful in restoring deleted libraries

Lynx's Den deleted works can 'usually' be restored....just list the categories they were in..[eg. rainy, wb, etc] and it can be done...

Lynx"s Den: I just wanted to say welcome back, but now its me who is thinking about leaving. I just pulled two of my blinds and am actually now thinking of emptying my library. Getting tired of being bothered. Actually people try to tell me how and what i gotta do with my stuff..I dont think so. it seems if you start to get noticed around here then some people try to do to put you down. And thats unacceptable to me. anyways welcome back, and keep skinning.

I think Jafo means you to list the categories here and he would do the legwork to re post them. Nice guy, that Jafo. Sorry if I misunderstood, Jafo.

Lynx,butch: try to remember, for every negative comment there are usualy many positive remarks that were never made.(but should have been) Both of you add diversity to the libraries here and would be missed if you leave. Keep skinning and posting, I, for one enjoy and appreciate your talent!
