GUI Olympics anyone??? And thanks for a year of free Christmas Gifts!

from WinCustomize Forums
Some of the best skins I have ever seen came from the GUI olympics. I can't tell you how much I was impressed with some of them...
Will there be a GUI olympics 2003 or do we only do this when the rest of the world is doing their olympics? None the less, thanks to all of the artists that have made all the amazing skins in the past year. I know many of you by name but have never spoken to you or seen you face to face. Let me take the opportunity now to give you my appreciation. Each of you do things I could only dream of...When I download a good skin it's like getting a new Christmas present. For the third time Thanks and happy new year!!!

Probably not. There is a lot of grief involved in doing anything for the public. Look at my article on skinning in 2002 that just went up. I've gotten more flame mail on this along with plenty of negative reaction to it because I didn't include user X's pet favorite thing.

The GUI Olympics is a lot like that too. The people who aren't willing to do any work themselves on it are always the first to jump up and make those of us miserable.

If someone else is interested in running/promoting the thing and that would mean writing ASP/HTML doing news postings on it, moderating, setting up judges, etc. they are certainly free to volunteer.
