Jekyll 'n Hyde inside my mind, who shall I be, I cant decide......

when does a community skin become a community skin when the community is not involved? Where was the post to inivite skinners for harmoney and whitefire2?

there wasnt a post, it was created by maxstyles crew (and maybe a secret select few from the community) 

 

and yet, suddenly its a community skin?

 

to me, a community skin is when someone posts they want to make a community skin, and people are allowed to volunteer their services to the skin.  The WHOLE community knows about it....(unless they live under a rock) its not a secret and suddenly released as  community skin.

 

yet again i ask, why is maxstyles skins being promoted as community skins when its clear that they are not.

This isnt a flame against Maxstyles.....I just am totally confused.........

vStyler:

I didn't make a WAClassic skin for it because I had to pay to play. *shrug* I'm not telling you what you can or cannot do. Mabye kitty is , but not me. All I'm saying is what I think should classify as a 'communtiy project'

you took my quote and fugged it around, how sweet!


Please dont patronize me Kitty I find zero humor in this , I take this extremely seriously. Anyone with half a brain can see that the whole issue was a vendetta against me framed in some bs excuse about you needing to know the meaning of community. You have not only harmed yourself in my eyes but i can assure you others too.. this may not matter you but it certainyl does to me.

Bug.. had you asked for psd's to make your theme you would have gotten them JUST like everyone else who asked for not only permission but psds also.. was granted, I turned down NO requests. Anyone was free to make a skin for harmony and still is. I turned down NO one..

but I just dont see anything that has a cost attached to it as a community project.


NT, I think you hit the nail on the head in those words. Spot on.

It's splitting hairs but if Harmony was ever refered to as a 'community suite' or words to that effect then that is not right and Kitty has a point. There have been many WB skins in the past where other people have approached the original artist to make things like widgets, winamp skins etc etc but they have never been called 'community skins'. The Halloween skin is an example of a true 'community suite' because it was an 'open invitation' to the whole 'community' to take part, made for the whole 'community' at no cost to the 'community'.

2 words....... who cares

I believe Jafo answered the question by stating that is WAS considered a community skin. If I have followed this correctly you were told the position was already filled. Hence the fewer openings part due to it being a smaller project.

Yes, Phoon got it right.

With the likes of 'Heavy Equipment' there were still only finite opportunities/places for skinners...and once eg a Winamp skinner put his hand up there was no opportunity/place for a second one.

It was therefore NOT open to all comers...but more first in best dressed.

In that respect I do not see vStyler's as any different...

My last comment becuase I dont want to piss off my good Bud John.

Whitefire is not a Master skin. Harmony is.

on Nov 16, 2007
Kitty what difference does it make? What stake do you personally have in which suite is labelled what? your making FAR more out of this than needs be.

As far as Im concerned PLEASE dont ever label anything of mine Community again because lord knows I dont want the community definition police coming down on me again.

.a free for all?


white fire is not free? no one notice me that Basj was a master

community means everyone has a chance to participate


vStyler anwser you there anyone who wanted/want be a part of those projects has only to contact him (PM maybe? )

on Nov 16, 2007
Well I think, despite kitty's 'over the top' approach , that this is a question that needs to be answered. It seems that there are several opinions as to what constitutes a 'community skin' and to be honest , I agree with NT , and Harmony isn't one. But this needs to be discussed, not bitched at. She's not doing this much service.

Nibim, you are misunderstanding completley.

I enjoyed participating in avmans halloween community skin, it was GREAT......everyone had an awsome time......
