I just got off the phone with one of the master skinners from this site.
I needed some pixels pushed (because I'm a no-talent hack) and sent a private message a few days ago asking for some help. I got 25 images sent back the next day that were over and above anything I could have asked for.
Unfortunately, because I described what i wanted poorly . .they were not useful. I PM'd again apologizing and describing better what I was hoping for.
Not an hour later I get a PM with a phone number. We spent two minutes talking about the image and anther ten jsut talking.
Now . . I've been on teh internet since there were only BBS. I was a Compuserve member and then a AOL and then . . well . . I've been around a while. In all those years though, in all the sites I've visited, only one has reached across the cyber-space into meat-space; this community.
I've made real friends here that I've become closer with over the past ten years than I have with my neighbors. I've even had skinners over to the house and gone out to dinner with.
Crazy? Yes.
Cool? Also yes.
