Will whoever is in charge of the emoticons please get my winky working again. It's causing havoc with my British sarcasm over here...

I wasn't attacking you Tech Cat, I was simply having a harmless joke at your expense. As for the blog comment, that's best left for another venue. Besides which, it wasn't a personal attack, it was just pointing out a major inconsistency in your argument and using the true meaning of the word. Anyways...

Okay, okay... I apologise for raising my hand. I don't really want The Skins Factory to leave. I just want a gagging order placed on them. /me whistles innocently to himself and goes back to working on his GAN-... er... GUI Olympics entry.

@ neophil78 We're trying to have an argument here dammit. To write in bold , put your text between a tag and a tag (without the spaces). To write an 'emote' (the red text), start a line with / m e (again, without the spaces).

Ah... the old 'I do a lot of work for charity' line. You really do need to work on your communication skills Jesh. It now sounds like you're hinting that the existance of the contest is a bad thing and that the money would be better spent going to charity.

I would like to point out at this juncture that, as a past participant in the GUI Olympics, I believe both Brad and Stardock as a whole treat the contributing artists with an unfashionably high amount of respect. They took a lot of flak during the last contest, and yet at the end of the day they gave out prizes in instances where they weren't even obliged to do so. Now that is what I call caring about the individuals involved.

I still have the copyright to any skin I enter, correct? Of course you do Çërêb®øJÐ. You're not being paid for the work, and even if you were you would have to sign over the legal rights to Stardock. As an artist, you retain copyright to your work until such time as you sign a contract to say otherwise. The only condition they may set is

Incidentally, you could really learn a lot from the likes of treetog, Alexandrie, Hippy and so on. A little humility goes a long way, and although I consider those individuals among the absolute best of the best when it comes to WindowBlinds skinning, not once will you ever see them claiming as much. You are probably among the best Windows Media Player skinners in the world. Let that be what you're known for, not your ability to self-promote.

But let's face it the best skinners are too busy making money to worry about a contest. That was just one of the many, many times you said it Jesh. You claim that the best skinners are making money. You are making money, so we can therefore take it that you are among the best. I am not making money, so we can therefore take it that I am not among
