I heard a really funny story last night that basically said that skinners are people with real lives, and they don't spend 24hrs a day chained to a PC making skins for other people.
And the moral of the story, apparently, was that if you want skins really badly, make them yourself.
Wether that's all true or not, I don't know, as it was a great big green rabbit, wearing a Tuxedo that told me it.
