SKINZ.ORG - What happened to it?

I think *a few* people around here knows what happened to The Brown Site!

Short story:
1: Admins of the site *should have* gotten some kinda payment.
2: Owners said: F**K YOU!! No way, you should be happy just to be allowed to work for us.
3: Admins left.
4: Users started pulling their work of the site.
5: No users = no working site!
6: Skinz.org is "officially" dead to The Community

There's alot more to the story, but I guess someone else will fill in the blanks!

eFront happened to it.....

That's what you get from messing with La Familia.

Essentially what happened was that the company who owned it, eFront, was one of the many casaulties of the dot-bomb collapse. When they ran out of money, they didn't pay their admins at sites like skinz.org. But they handled the situation so poorly that they alienated the community of users that hung around there.

Most of the users that were there moved here or DeviantArt.

Wow, that is a shame. Skinz.org was a pretty kewl site - although this site seems to rival it, and is gettin better everyday!!!

Thanks for the great info guys!!!

erm...

if I wasn't mistaken...wincusto was suposed to be somewhat like skinz.org

Admittedly, this site is modeled after skinz.org in many ways. But no site can ever replace skinz.org. Skinz.org was my home.

Most long-time skinners and skin users thought of skinz.org as their home....unfortunately, ever since, any and all Skinning/graphic sites are compared to skinz as the 'benchmark' by which all others are judged....
