Other places to visit

While we restore from backup here are some other places that have skins and themes of the kind you'll find here:
First some not as well known that are very high quality:
http://www.pixtudio.com/index.php?page=skins
http://www.skinplant.com/
http://www.essorant.com/
All 3 of these sites have both free skins and premium skins to choose from.
Here are some others:
http://www.deviantart.com
http://www.skinbase.org
http://www.theskinsfactory.com
http://www.customize.org
http://www.velocityart.com/
We're in the process of restoring from backup but as you can imagine, we're having to do it from remote (the servers are in California, we're in Michigan). There will probably be some skins/themes/walls missing for at first so authors who have recently submitted content may be contacted to resubmit the file.

Hope the RAID array rebuild & data restore is going as well as can be expected since the operators and the servers are in different states....

Thanks for all the tremendous work that 'yall do for us daily, and without much complaint....Like a reminder now and again to donate is really complaining....

what happens on Pixtudio is that the images load slower. That is what happened to me.

I find it very fasenating. Some site show the numbers of current on-line viewers and the numbers are in the 300 range for those site that have that indicator.

Essorant's was slow too. Actually all the sites either had server problems or was slow to load.

It is amazing how much WinCustomize handles in one day.

The Skins Factory is having zero speed problems. We're set up to handle a terrabyte of download traffic a month and our dedicated server is on rackshack. Some of the library is connected to Wincustomize's library but we'll be updating that shortly. Most are available though.
