Just a heads-up....the offending skin 'Spunkit' has been removed from Winamp by Angela, the person who posted it. She has apologized for her 'out of character' mis-deeds and deportment, and once Nullsoft puts in place an efficient system for policing future transgressions of this ilk, the skinning world will be a happier place.

Paxx...I don't consider my self to be any more intelligent or capable than the 'average' user...and I found WindowBlinds....and eFX and LiteSTEP and all sorts of things....and I did that a long time before it was as well known as it is now. There is a very good chance that things WILL get bigger...

OK, people......heads up. It appears that all is good in the land of skin, once more. Angela Alan has removed the Spunkit skin from Winamp. She has apologised to me by email, and has said she has done likewise to treetog. As of now, I am hoping that this is now history. I believe there are movements afoot to resolve this sort of thing, and preventing it from happening in the future at Winamp's web-site. Promises to be a good result....<img src="http://images.sta

Just thought I'd give you a sneak preview of my next submissions to Winamp.com.All that bullshit you gave about the "Skinners code of honour",if these two skins are an example of your "talents" then God help the rest of you. FYI I've already uploaded these two works of "art" to Winamp,they should appear anytime soon,I've uploaded them under the name Jafo,we wouldn't want to steal yor glory would we,I've left out your original transparencies as you can tell,we'll let people make their own min

OK, Steve.....if you really wish to appease and placate your army of 'real' skinners, the ones who actually do more than create a photoskin, and actually submit their OWN, original work, I for one, would like to receive in my next email newsletter a 'featured apology' for, and public explanation of these recent events. It is most unfortunate that your site management/architecture enables stolen work to be un-removable for a week, giving free reign to the degradation of an Artist's reputation

I know you are right, Brad....I've been around in this game long enough to know. But sometimes you get really frustrated. I don't have much time for idiots at the best of times, and this one really got under my skin.... Seems I missed some posts which were deleted....pity, I would have been interested in those.....just to see how our ripper behaved...<img src="http://images.stardock.com

Kenray...we can love American faggots like you, but to be called anything that we are not, is the problem....she could have said tree-hugging hippy crap and got the same response. Now, if she'd called you an American faggot, you could have responded...'why, ma'am, have we met before? You seem to know me so well'....hehe....

Raistlin, I won't jump down on you...[I rarely do], but you are very wrong. Whether something is 'given' away freely or sold for a price makes no difference with the rights of ownership. That belongs with the author of the work. The problem here is that the ripper in question has absolutely no interest in, or understanding of the graphic art world. As far as she is concerned we would be better off pissing into the wind....<img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/jokegrim.gif"

I'm really saddened by all of this. The internet, and my love for skinning and theming has given me the chance to meet some wonderful and talented people, and to inter-relate with them as friends and equals. I have met people whom I can honestly say that I both love, admire, and respect. Unfortunately, it has also exposed me to the depths of antisocial behaviour as evidenced by our lovely lady skin thief, to whom I have been corresponding. And such a wasted effort it turns out to be

OK, guys...this is the latest from our ripper to me via email. I guess it says it all.... "I have no interest in skinning,to become a skinner or any such thing,suffice to say it does not hold my interest one little bit.I uploaded that skin to Winamp out of boredom, I had 10 minutes to kill at work and the rest is history. Yes Treetog is probably a nice person,yes he is a talent

Too true... Still, I have attempted to calm the waters a bit...but I have a feeling that her email client is reaching melt-down with all the unhappy skinners sending comments....

Just by attitude and language...I'm willing to bet within the limits of 12 to 20...more likely 12 to 16... This is not an indictment on the younger people, but an observation of the specifics here...
