WC Community Skinning Contest : III

All Grown Up

On August 10, 2005, the first ever WC Community Skinning Contest started and was sponsored by Ama02, Fairyy~, BX (me), Bichur, Jafo and Apocalypse_67. It was such a marvelous experience which could never be forgotten.

After a while we had the second WC Community Skinning Contest named as WC Community Skinning Contest: The Holiday Edition. The contest started on September 3, 2005 and hit new heights of success. Last time, the sponsors were Bones2112, Brewman, Bichur, Me, Hus and Apocalypse_67.

We have found some very nice skinners from these community sponsored skinning contests.

And now .. we are back :). The 3rd WC Community Skinning Contest is officially on air!

So far the only entry I see in the library is TYCUS's cursor. That only means that there are probably some in moderation, like zakai1369's dock. We probably just created a lot of work for the moderators. Sorry. :NOTSURE:

ALMonty, I think it's more of folks just haven't submitted items for the contest. I was reminded by BX today that this would probably by the case. We have another 34 days for the contest to run, things will pick up.  Keep in mind also the skins still have to pass moderation. ;)

I know Philly I'm just trying to make a joke. I'm bored. I've been messing with this damn MyColors thing all day. It won't accept my serial numbers and support didn't help me at all so I'll have to wait until Monday. I'm just a little anxious right now. Although there was 3 updates in SDC so that made me happy. :D

Hey ALMonty, I've been reading you other posts. I haven't done anything with MyColors, I'm going to wait for ObjectDesktop 2008 Ultimate to come out. From what I remember from Frogboy's release info MyColors is supposed to be in that. Hope I'm not wrong. :NOTSURE: 

2of3 I saw those two WB's also, what we don't know is when they were submitted.  ;)

Why no dream category? I thought I read from a mod in the Alienware contest that we'd have another shot in the wincustomize contest.
