vB commercial themes
 
I'm doing a small research on sites selling vB skins.
I've came to the conclusion that the 4 most succesful are:
extremepixels.com
vBstyles.com
transversestyles.com
vBSkinworks.com
forumthemes.com

Firstly, which one do you believe is the most succesful? (not the one you like best, the one that is objectively most succesful, eg sold more themes)
Secondly, does anyone know a rough estimate on the income of such sites (not only the 4 mentioned)?
Thirdly, which one is the largest in terms of staff?
The 4 ones mentioned are just my personal opinion, and I might be wrong and there might be one more succesfull than these. Feel free to mention it.

Thanks in advance and I hope the matter is not a vb-taboo. :)

By far the most successful is extremepixels...

I'd agree, extremepixels would be my choice too

You forgot to list TransverseStyles.com - they have made quite an impact as well, however I see more styles from vBStyles.com used over any of those listed.

Lea Verou 09-10-2006 10:20 AM

I didn't list transverse styles as I don't think is one of the most succesful ones.
The point is not to list all sites selling vb themes, but finding out which ones are the most succesfull.
I've also noticed the same thing about vBStyles SaintDog. Escpecially their skin "Element" is very popular.

I don't understand, by not listing my site you missed a *major* venue in the vBulletin skinning arena. In fact, we're so popular that you can see the resemblance of a site you mentioned above compared to my site.

I stand by me having the best customer area, too.

I started 2 years later, so it's like the coke/pepsi thing.

You are right Transverse Styles. I just visited and it appears to be more succesful than I thought at first. Although it appears to be more for IPB than for vB...
Btw, would it be too intrusive if I asked about the income that such a site generates? For instance how much do you earn per theme (average)? (you may answer via pm, if I was in your shoes I wouldn't answer in public). If you do not wish to reply at all, I fully understand. :)

More for IPB than vB? They are for both systems. :)

I just use IPB as my default forum since I was a former staff at IPS. :)
