I´m not here as much as in the past. Real life (Snowman´s fear ;)) has kept me busy. I´ve also seen too many people disappear from SkinBase I guess. :( Including the {:p
Hi snowy <br />How can I get all sexy w/ these pop up hitting me all over the place (kinda ruins the mood) hehe <br />(trying another browser out over here) I got it worked out snowy, t´was jumping between two diff browsers some functions I wanted were interfering w/ other things around here.

For the record: I do not "giggle". But yes, been there, done that. There not much innovation in skin land.

Wellll look at you oldman instead of using 🍺 to drink to that, you´re using my funky :doreen icon and drinking coffee now? hehe <br /> <br />Speak for yourself I still reside in the sandbox which is why I have so many bills I can´t even pay cuz I don´t act like an adult and be more responsible. <br />/me believes in fun first, I´ll get around to paying the bills later on (maybe) hehe <br /> <br />Most are still around Grim it´s just they lurk more around the younger newbies and giggle silently, They´ve either been there and done that or the things they´ve done have changed so much skinning wise they´ve got no clue anymore how to skin it these days! (plus most are spread out on various sites etc)

ehe.. Hey Dor :doreen <br /> <br />Elwin, or more to the point, I can see Elwin in all of us back then, represents an ´ Innocence Lost´ in the skinning community. Back then we all acted almost like children, some still do *points at the rabbit*... but it was fun and exciting. These days everyone acts like adults. Nobody plays in the sand pit anymore. They are all busy making money like grown ups. Well except a few diehards who just couldn´t give a damn... I´ll drink to that! :doreen

I did see Elwin pop in here once. He just said something like "You guys still here?" in the chatbox and then he was gone. I certainly would like to see theings return to how they were quite some time ago. It´s one of the reasons I´m far less active around the place now. Too many changes and too many departures. <br /> <br />But now I must go as Snowman is finally online at the same time as me in MSN ;)

Wow... there you are!. :-) <br /> <br />- Hey there Jason, glad to hear that real life gets in the way, at least you got one. Bravo on your Uni and Job efforts, I´m sure the missus (err.. wife) is appreciating it! <br /> <br /> <br />- Lecrayon, just noticed your Ausie flag there. I remember when Australia was as friendly as Skinbase, uhm, I better stop here. ;-) <br /> <br /> <br />- TAXIFUNK, glad to finaly meet you... all your posts, very infformative I must say! <br /> <br /> <br />- PK how are you matey? Yea, Elwin... I felt so sad when he left. I think some of us had a very special connection with him. He made Internet his life but we all let him down. Sometimes I just wanna go overthere and look for that madass! Unlike most of us who had someone on the ´outside´ to keep us sane while we wallow in here. He only had us. This is the part of skinning community that has died when those like Elwin were traded for $$. Overnite they became just a commodity to be traded, a marketable database, drones to be fed the diet of neverending popups and subscriptions. Nah, I don´t want their crap. Call me a communist, call me a socialist, I don´t give a damn. In the end, when all the code has been written and all the skins are made, when alll the dollars are earned and spent and youre time is up... what do you have in the end? If youre lucky, you will have someone like Elwin, a friend waiting for ya.´ <br /> <br /> <br />"Binary Humanity: See, in the beginning, because we were The Skinners, we dared to look bellow the initial Windows skin, and thats where we found the real beauty. The true binary humanity, naked, unpredictable and most of all, free. We took it and set about celebrating it and adoring it with pretty pixels, we called it Shell, we sang songs to it, we faught for it. We met daily around the camp fire and we went forth expanding our dominion. People could see the flame from far away and they feared us for we new the secrets of the Binary. <br />But the Guru Bill from the DOS Raiders, who owned the Great Windows Binary where we have hijacked their shell from, wanted to make money out of all this. With their XP release, they have passed the secrets of the Binary to the others for a price. The new shell has become just a ´shadow´ of what it used to be. The binary humanity died when they slaped the $$ sign on msstyles and gave Stardock the wheel." <br /> <br />GuruBob <br /> <br />Yanks love to use this word... Freedom. Strange that, cause they give nothing out for free. <br /> <br />GuruBob <br /> <br /> <br />- SNOOOOOOOOOW!!!!... ehe, thanks matey, I´ll be around again sonn but got to look after my daughter for a while, she´s not well. :-( <br />

Neat signature + avatar update Grim! Tee, hhe hoee. Tanke schoen (=german for, many full gasoline tanks). Have I been tanking? No. Did not find right brew yet. Which is why I did not seem to realize crae is not a nickname for lecrayon (blush). So good day, lecrayon or night
