I agree with Frogboy on this one. At least here you can avoid that, if you desire, by creating an account and logging in - pretty much a no-brainer. As far as skinz.org - I will be visiting that site from time to time (it is part of the community) to see how it is progressing, perhaps contributing positively in the small ways that I can.

The rules are pretty much contained in this thread http://www.hardwaregeeks.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=3685 . The Skins Factory - I believe I read in the thread that entries needed to be limited to those designed for the contest, or at least skins not completed prior to the start of the contest. You may want to take the time to read the entire thread. Deadzombie appears to be the moderator of the c
