I think that doing the competition thing would be better than an art group. Would open the forum up to everyone, not just a select few. And quality shouldn't be a problem in my mind. I know I could count 20 designers on here that could make ssd-quality banners in a blink of an eye. Just allow multiple entries to give more leeway.

Woo, that means we had this skin more than a year. Is that some type of record?

No more contests for a while, we have had too many recently and I can list out some of the various contests we have ran here, most of which have been complete failures and disappointments. It's a typical scenario, everyone is up for the idea but when push comes to shove, it just doesn't happen.
The idea you have is nice, but it's one of those things that will not work here. If we had a banner, we'd need a skin to match it, otherwise it'd look odd. If you helped make a skin, you'd have to be working along the same wavelength.
We would rather create something which will last, when we have the time to do it. I know it sounds mean, because everyone has been up doing something but have a good think about how it will likely turn out judged on our previous records.
Our aim is to keep contests quite rare and more special, we may do something fun for Xmas, but it will not be a skin or a banner. (the old one is not available, no back up of it.)

Ok, what if someone makes a skin and sends it to you via PM ? Would you accept it if it's good enough ?

Why stick onto the last one ? This is a new year. So, make a new one ! It is not a great deal for SSD I guess Problem is, the work and time that goes into it. I remember Alan saying that last years rework took like 5 or 6 hours of work. Well, Alan was probably one of the best designers SSD has ever had (one of) and he is gone now. I have no idea who would be doing new themes now (I'd assume Oliver) and he seems to be quite busy currently. At least that is the impression I get when I talk to him on MSN. Pffft, that's just because he doesn't want to talk to you
I liked it, maybe it should be redone by other people and let staff know when it's done, so the staff can throw the stuff up on the server and update the h/f.

I know something. You can just add some snow and stuff to the current skin. As easy as a truckload of cakes
