What happened to the Skinning Challenge?

[jedirieb]

I liked seeing those skins made by great skinners, and I was even thinking about joining in sometime (although I'd come nowhere close to winning). So, anyone starting it back up?

[fishtank]

Good question. Is TMO MIA? Am I the only one that made a skin for the winter theme?

[Cassie]

I think I will e-mail the addy above and see if I get a response. Perhaps under the circumstances, the deadline could be extended again so as to allow time for folks to set things up and create without anxieties.

If TMO is truly MIA, I volunteer to referee. If this is okay with everyone, you can send submissions to birdidude@yahoo.com using the same rules as above, just change the month to Feburary. Sound good?

[woo]

wooyah!, fishtank! You should make a Skinning Challenge thread.

[fishtank]

Well... Here was mine.

[blitzer]

I think a separate thread is in order, I myself, thought it was a neat idea
