All Grown Up
Published on February 14, 2008 By BX In WinCustomize News

On August 10, 2005, the first ever WC Community Skinning Contest started and was sponsored by Ama02, Fairyy~, BX (me), Bichur, Jafo and Apocalypse_67. It was such a marvelous experience which could never be forgotten.

After a while we had the second WC Community Skinning Contest named as WC Community Skinning Contest: The Holiday Edition. The contest started on September 3, 2005 and hit new heights of success. Last time, the sponsors were Bones2112, Brewman, Bichur, Me, Hus and Apocalypse_67.

We have found some very nice skinners from these community sponsored skinning contests.

And get rid of those Sins maps and Replays in the Galleries. PLEASE

So far the only entry I see in the library is TYCUS's cursor. That only means that there are probably some in moderation, like zakai1369's dock. We probably just created a lot of work for the moderators. Sorry.

I'm interested in hearing from anyone if they have uploaded any skins for the contest and are just waiting for them to come out of moderation.  
on Feb 15, 2008
still waiting in moderation here.

Did the moderators fall asleep? Only one submission today?  
on Feb 15, 2008
ALMonty, I think it's more of folks just haven't submitted items for the contest. I was reminded by BX today that this would probably by the case. We have another 34 days for the contest to run, things will pick up.  Keep in mind also the skins still have to pass moderation.
