At first it was the bb caps with the flat brims and now a stardock tote bag. I'm all for what you're doing to keep the site up but c'mon guys. The dollar store items aren't gonna work.

Wanna know what I would LOVE to see (and would biy right away)? A book in the style of the "secrets of the game programming gurus" series of books. Maybe something like "Skinning secrets from the masters" or something to that effect. It'd be great to have our fave skinners providing tips and tutorials for us rookies, as well as maybe providing anecdotes about the creation of some of the most famous skins (i.e., what was it like to create the first Aqua skin, and thus incurring the wrath of Apple, etc.)

Damn good idea but the writers would require compensation which wouldn't allow for much of a profit to help keep the site afloat. Unless you would find any skillful skinner willing to donate something like that which in this day and age it seems they want compensation for everything

loc, you are aware that DeviantART sells the exact same stuff (including a tote bag)? That's where we got the idea.

Hey I just got my hat today, and the bill bends quiet nicely. IMHO, it brings out my inner geek quiet stylishly.

I think more stuff that does not require any shipping should be sold. I'll definetly buy the skins browser when it comes out.

In reply to greg:
Many ppl look down on me/us for doing commercial skins and ditching "regular skins". Some people think we are "moneygrubbing bastards" as someone expressed it. But look at it this way, I for example have decided to work with graphic design fulltime this year, and that means i have to devote my "computer time" to commercial projects. I have bills to pay like everyone else, and on my freetime i'd like to stay as far away as possible from a computer. Doing a musical atm for example. Thats why i rather not spend my sparetime doing winampskins and fancy wallpapers.

This is no criticism towards you greg, not at all, i just thought the subject needed to be brought up, since its obviously bothering alot of ppl.
