Closing out 2007 With a Bang
Published on December 11, 2007 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

2007 is quickly drawing to a close, and wow what a year it's been!  The new WinCustomize, Vista, Dreams, SoundPackager, Xion, WindowBlinds 6, the Charity Drive, the Alienware Contest, and more spectacular skins than you can shake a stick at!

Around this time of year, a lot of sites start doing their "Best XYZ of 2007!" lists, and I thought maybe we could get in on the fun with a few of our own lists to mark the best work of the past year.

Nominate your:

  • Favorite Skinner
  • Favorite Skin from Library X

In order to nominate someone for consideration, post a comment below with who/what and for which category.  Nominate as many people/skins for as many categories as you like.  If you're not comfortable posting publicly, you can PM me via the forums... BUT if you're going to PM me you have to do it in a very clear format.  If you don't give me a nomination in this format, I will not count it.

  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]
  • [Category] - [Skin Name] [link]

Go ahead and nominate for any library you like.  However, if a library gets less than five items nominated, I won't be running a poll for it.

You have to get your nomination in by end-of-day Wednesday, December 12th.  We will start running polls over the weekend to determine the favorites, with the results posted before the new year.

If enough content is nominated, I'll be running a poll every 1-2 days to get through them in time.  The office is closed between Christmas and New Years, and I intend to spend my vacation doing mostly vacation-y things. 

My hope is to clear the library polls shortly after Christmas, and have the Skinner of the Year poll up for the rest of the break.

  Skinner Of The Year 2007?  

John "vStyler" Gordon

Harmony, Vienna, VXP, Athena, Tritan, Odyssey, Clockwork Orange, Stargate SG1, Alpha Omega, Reflex, XRaptor, Sexy, Vienna2 Spectrum.

Has anyone had a better year in skinning?

  
on Dec 11, 2007
NO!!

Vstyler, i.e. John Gordon is without doubt the Jesus Christ of Skinning!! (I hope that doesn't sound to obsequious or blasphemous.)

Why not just use the stats that WC already gathers to make this determination. It's going to be far more accurate than what you will get with a short poll?

Too many skins to list, but skinner of the year for me is without a doubt, vstyler.

Sorry, but it's individuals only.

Good point.  But then again . . people like voting, 

To capture more of the user base (there are many who don't come to the forums unless there is a problem they need help with)  This announcement might be better placed in the galleries.  But what do I know, right?
