Hi all, what is the big deal with $700 + for a custom skin that you like and call your own? I have been looking for skin along with some mods for www.huligar.com/nsraweb/forum for a long time. I too have ran across (vBCore/Kody) and did not feel safe with him do to the fact that he did not want the money with pay pal. even after I made the payment with pay pal he refuse to start on the skin until it cleared. we claimed it would have taken him 2 days. (vBCore/Kody) has refunded my money and i have gone else where so you all could have done the same. I now have trueDeath working on the mod potion of the site and i must say i am happy with what he has done so far. TrueDeath does not do custom skins and i knew this going but he was willing to make all the mods that i needed to get by the same night that (vBCore/Kody) refunded my money. I now have a site that is not that nice to look at because i did the changes my self. I have look every where for some one to do a custom skin for me and no seams to be able to do it. every site that that claim to be able to it looks like the site i saw just before. on this forum I saw one unique site and now i can not find it, it was a pink site that looked very girlie, you all had a post on best skins are something. I would gladly pay for a site that did not look like it came out of a box. leave (vBCore/Kody) alone, let him make his money and provided skins like no other if that is what we is selling. if any of you can make a custom skin and willing to work with trueDeath, please pm me are him so my site can get complete.

wouldnt touch vbcore with a barge pole. (would probly beat him with it tho)
had a few clients come to me after him ripping them off so i just supply them with his address and details and tell them to take it as far as they want.

And to top it off he doesnt make the designs (i know the designer thats done most of the skins vbcore has on his portfolio) and i can bet u a ton hes getting the designs for FAR less then 1k.

anyway just take the warning and dont risk it. and this lad is just given a bad name to the rest of us honest designers wich i dispise.

I can't commet who is the best but what i love is any kind of custom made style. I am currently working on a new style for my board that i am going to launch with vb3.6.0 and i am planning to make it with minumum table usage. Currently i ge rid of all tables from showthread , adv_portal , postbit templates and planning to take maximum number of tables from forumdisplay and forumhome also. I am like 30% finished currently and i have plenty of time till vb releases stable 3.6 This is my challenge currently and i hope i'll succeed in this.

I give props to those who go the Tableless route for sites and especially forums. I'm looking forward to your layout, Lizard. Please keep us updated.

haha nice Lizard I'm doing the same thing bud, but I'm doing it mostly for 3.5, if I get a chance I might do it for 3.6 as well, I might ask for help if I needed any from you or you could do the same

Hey guys, It looks like I got scammed by Kolby as well.

First, he wanted me to send it Via Western Union for Payment. Thankfully, the Western Union Guys talked me out of that. Now, he gives me a friends paypal address. Red Flag number two.

Two weeks go bye, nothing. Supposedly his computer crashed, and he's on vacation. First he goes to CA when the design is supposed to be ready, now he's supposedly down to Mexico. I guess I should go to Paypal and ask for my money back. again, what's a good designer that does graphics and coding for around $300's?

Thanks!
