Pre made skins
Hi all
I read on another post a comment where someone was told not to use premade skins on their site. As someone who finally made a skin though it is nothing too special other than the fact that I finally made one and have some ideas on what to do from now on with vB 3.0. I have over the past year and a half, bought a dozen or so skins from vbskins.com and vbskinz.com and used them on a successfull site that I ran for nearly a year. Those premade skins didn't stop people from coming to the board and only a few people in that year did complain. For them we had a very lite skin. On that board we had over 3,000 members, 50,000 posts and it was in my opinion time to end the site when we would get maybe 20 posts a day.
I will always look towards those sites that sell skins, I will always buy some that I feel are good works. Premade skind don't stear people away from sites. If someone is going to join a site, it is because of the content and not due to the style although that can help in some cases.
As a final note, I bought the Dungeon skin from vbskins.com on wednesday and I had noticed several code bugs in it. I put in a ticket and Corey answered the replys several times within the day till all the bugs were worked out. It's great to see someone out here who provides support when needed.
