Veterans will remember me for my big rants against the rating system specifically because it means nothing. The ratings are not 'meaningless.' If I remember correctly, only skins with a rating of 7 or higher can be viewed by the anonymous (non-registered) public, who account for roughly 2/3 of downloads. To make a skin 'invisible' to them by giv

How about two separate rating systems? Too complex, me thinks...And I think they're trying to shift 'weight' away from the ratings system, as it carries too much of it currently... <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 cla

For instance, Ive never really liked the Antares WB (nothing against you, Mr. treetog) ...So, based on the words 'I dont like it', I should give it two stars, right? Jafo, the above quote is an example of what NOT to do. Maybe I didnt make that clear. When I rate, I tend to go for 'technical prowess' alone (and also maybe an extra point

It does have half stars. But then again, you can't give them out...as halves are the product of the average of two different ratings... Its a new system with new rules, dont worry about the old 1-10 ratings any more, think in terms of 'stars' from now on, not numbers. And technically Tiggz, 4 stars would be an 8, not a 7...

I disagree with T-Man on Idea #1... There are some very talented artists who strictly do wallpapers, and not skins...To 'shun' them from the mix would be a poor idea IMHO. Remember, many of the skinners who are 'in the spotlight' now started out as humble wall-artists...Take Apocalypse_67, for example, he started at WC around the same time I did...doing bryce walls...Now he's one of the most popular skinners

they do say that there are still 6-12 minutes of conscious activity (regardless of the death) How could someone know this to be a fact? If you're dead, you wouldn't be able to come back and tell someone about it... [Message Edited]
