No, bmetelsky I wouldn't go so far as to say bitter. Maybe a bit misled perhaps though. At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see Stardock offer premium subsciptions to get even more money from us. $20 for lunch? And here I thought Brad was the only one who could afford $20 lunches.

The "Exclusive" suites are the only reason that I subscribed. I feel I contribute to the site already by submitting skins. I didn't think I would be, and now know that I'm not impressed with the Skinbrowser. However, I guess I was expecting something more along the lines of what Brad described as "Premium" suites.

Although there is a way to "convert" a UIS2 skin to UIS1 with Skinstudio, it is not so easy as just hitting "convert". In my experience with the converter, it still leaves a lot of work left to be done. Haven't tried it in a while though. Perhaps it produces a more accurate conversion in newer versions??

Just the general look and feel is reminiscent of one of adni's skins. You guys have apparently have little idea how difficult it is to come up with a WB skin that doesn't remind someone of someone else's skins/style.
