OP
Oh, come on....you insult the skinners at Wincustomize.com....and come to Skinbase to what....do it again? <br /> <br />The online skinning sites are all ´related´....commonality of membership, by and large. <br /> <br />For the uninformed, monstavision wants you to do it for nix....and if some are OK he´ll talk about paying for them or more of them. <br /> <br />Be warned however....his users have fat fingers so the buttons have to be big...and no-one at Wincusto knows how to do ´clumsy´.... :) <br /> <br />Dang it...there&acute;s an echo in here. <br />

You&acute;ll notice the branding on the pdf is different from the web site framing.

Acrobat has asked me to install a 20MB update to view the pdf&acute;s at your site... why not use html... or standard pdf&acute;s which are viewable in ANY Acrobat reader? btw... I&acute;m using Acrobat 6.0 Professional... not the reader?????

Guys....the appropriate threads are here......note various references to Skinners being non-professional perhaps as a justification to be paid less. <br /> <br />http://www.wincustomize.com/msgboard.asp?BID=WC&amp;id=254664#255308 <br /> <br />Note that his &acute;offer&acute; has been revised....none too soon, either. I did &acute;suggest&acute; to him he&acute;d get a better quality of respondent with a better approach...;) <br /> <br />No, monstavision...I&acute;m not &acute;smarter&acute;...just more caring about the online skinning community and its treatment by others...:) <br />

ahhh I see Jafo usually most ask for graphics but expect them for free he was offering to pay and it seemed he was attacked or something... <br />(I was just being nosey/curious nothing more)
jafo avatar

Member
No, Doreen, he was not attacked....he raised some ire with the wording of his approach which was relatively insulting to both skinning professionals and amateurs alike....;) <br /> <br />A quick re-education has mellowed his approach so all is &acute;better&acute;, relatively.

That probably explains their name, &quot;Monsta&quot; because they make mosta-size touchscreens (must be a niche market, monsters are not really &quot;hot&quot; anymore..) and vision because they need good eyesight to see those small buttons ;-) <br /> <br /> <br />eeeh, whatever :) <br /> <br />/pk: /pk: /pk: /pk:

??? what am I missing? this is not the first time I&acute;ve seen someone ask for graphics on a skinning site, course they rarely offer to pay but rather expect the graphics for free, so what is wrong w/ these guys if they pay a graphic artist for services rendered?

I think monstavision is a girl... I just thought it was funny that Jafo went postal on her...

postal? hehe I might be missing something (hard to read every blasted thread on every board!) so he may have a good reason, just that I&acute;ve seen these kinds of post before but not that kind of reaction to someone saying they will pay for graphics?

The skinners of the skinning community are skinning for fun, but if someone makes an order, then it is different, they ask a lot of money, as the rest of professionals. <br />Do you know that <b> monstaVision </b>? <br />Just for your information, the skinners are not suckers in case you are trying to find some. <br /> I am not saying that you are after this motivation, but just in case you didn&acute;t know that :) <br /> <br />

You guys watch too much TV. I&acute;m not going to throw number$ round in here. I&acute;m offering someone an opportunity here. If they have a portfolio or are interested in adding a job to their resume, contact me for the specs. Why do some of you try and twist what i&acute;ve offered into &quot;he&acute;s a con artist&quot;? <br />Jafo - would it make you feel better if I said &quot;You&acute;re smarter than me?&quot;
