Excelent post in my mind Po.  I, like BoXXi, have to agree 100%.  One thing though, the Master level has always been here.  The only difference is now the Masters can sell their skins.

I knew that, I just keep forgetting it.

My memory just isn't what

 

uh

 

No? I don't want peanut butter on it?

I'm going to watch from the sidelines for awhile my friend.  I don't want to miss too much and would like to learn some of W7 desktops using Windowblinds.

I just entered Hospice care a few weeks ago and have had a terrible adjustment.  It is better care than I was getting on the outside only with a shorter outcome date.  I LOVE you all and everything you do.  Stay inagreement with each other as much as possible, and drink up ever draft of life.

Hey, Jafo! Yep, I remeber those days. Everything done by hand, .. no skin studios or whatever, just be ready to reinstall OS every other month. While I visit the galleries and forums relatively frequently I don't post, but your statement revived those memories. I remeber skinnerz like treetog, dangeruss, adni, Mike and others who use to almost weekly post new blinds skins on skinz.org and then here. Brad and you frequently commented on our creations and that was very cool (and most likely you still do). Since then the community here has grown beyond the most optimistic predictions. I think that back in 1999 or 2000 even Brad couldn't imagine such a growth. Compared to back then with a smaller, maybe closer and better connected skinnerz, today the community seems to be large, maybe less connected, but still moving forward and producing quality. When I look at some of my work from that early period (like this one or this one -- BTW, for some reason my skins don't connect to my user name, only this one does), I see that the new talented creatives have taken charge and really produced some high quality stuff that is better looking and/or more complete and bug free. So, I'm not afraid or doubtful about the community future. Anywho, keep up with the great work you guys do.
