I second that, or 'nth' that as the case may be. Skin-thieving sucks.

While on the topic though, two additional suggestions:

1 ) The "UT2004 Skins" section on the Forum Index could use some cleaning up i.e. each entry follows some format like "<username> Skins" or maybe even better... just username. That way, it will be a lot easier and more efficient to find everyone's skin for those who are looking. (To that effect, everyone please post your skins! ) I would volunteer to go through the threads and add them for all the ones I can find if wished. Not a problem. Let me know.

2 ) Adding a "Skin" field to everyone's Member Profile. Makes sense, in same way an avatar represents a person online in forum and instant messaging, a skin does so even more in-game. Skins are in-game identities and important in that way.

In general, I think skins are awesome and really like seeing people's different choices and such. To tell you the truth, I don't even mind downloading new skins from people who change theirs on whatever schedule they choose either. I think it adds a great element to the game both technical, like being able to recognize and distinguish people, and also purely aesthetic "eye-candy" enjoyment (an equally important aspect, I think). Skins add a whole layer of cool and customization, which is great.

So, if anyone wants me to go through and add as many as I can find to the UT2004 Skins Forum Index in some sort of consistent format, totally happy to do so. Also, maybe if we ask nice enough and if actually possible, we could also get a field added to our Member Profiles if everyone thinks that's a better idea. I'd love to see either happen and offer my help if needed as well as encouraging further discussion and some type of resolution. Seems there's enough interest already so maybe just time for decisions and action (/organization)?

What's the verdict everybody?

Instead of asking Dru to add a field to the profile... Why not just use the versatile space in your signature to advertise your skin of choice?

I've got a quick question for you. I clicked on your ICQ and got this:

I'm a 23 years old female. What's wrong with this picture?
There something you want to tell me...and perhaps your wife?

Wow! Thats good to know!....Come to think of it, I have been feeling a bit odd lately...

cheers.

I can't help but say that I know how you feel. So, I'm sorry and I hope you feel better.

THat could make any person feel odd. More than a bit too. Perhaps your account has been hijacked by a female martyr!

Btw... I just made this post because I wanted to see how many quotes could be in one post.
Is there a record for this?

Ooooh...a quotey record..... Lets do it.....ready? GO!

Is this what I'm supposed to do?

See how impressive this is? I mean if it keeps going, I'm gonna get dizzy just looking at it...

LOL

Sarcasm....
just another free service I provide =)

I do miss being able to find creative spots to snipe from.

Sniping is an art form. =)

Awesome looks!

If you need help with locating download locations, please let me know Dru.

More than happy to hunt them down.

I'm in Redding, CA... about 3.5hrs north of Deuy and Cham

I didn't try screaming though.... perhaps I should?

On that same note, I'll once again state my disgust for those people that 'copy' other players' skins on the game.

there's plenty enough to choose from....

healing weapons are just a bit rare compared to other magic weapons,
it is mostly set in 3 levels..
the higher the number the more common it is,
healing is a 1, so it is quite the rare weapon

Bah! C'mon now... that's just gibberish...
or wait...
are you saying you need to be 'lucky' to get a healing?

So if I have my lucky shield gun wielded and run over a spawn point..... I will have a better chance to get a healing weapon? Oh wait... does this work for vorpals and vampirics also?

Oh Chyster... what have we come across now...??

The precious.....
it's ours... and we wants it!

well I was sent this picture of the Easter Bunny molesting me last year (2004). SO I thought I would share.

lol

Trust me, using the xloc as a weapon gets very boring after a while. I used to telefrag 100-200 monsters per map, but it just wasn't any fun >

I remember Cloud telefraggin like a maniac on UT2K3 maps =)

Most excellent!

I love wolves

Why don't you do something with it Fodder? That piece rocks.

If not, feel free to send it to my corner (make sure to address it to the Kenmore box... not the Fridgadaire)

Well seeing how I have 10 that is TEN skins posted on one posting I feel bad. NOT I like to change a lot this is America. If someone doesnt want to download them then they wont. Now if there is a rule about posting more than one skin I am sorry for that. ??? Is there ?? Again getting new skins is like going to the mall and it is free LOL. I say have fun and dont worry about the small suff. They are just skins..

Here! Here! Darky!

To my knowledge.. the meaning is one POST. We had a rash of people posting 5-10 different postings with the heading "MY NEW SKIN!"
or something like that.

Dru/Shant? Is there some kind of rule on posting more than one that you use in the same post? (Cause I'm guilty too if so)

Nay, not for pets. Pets will be fixed in other ways in the future.

That sounds a bit ominus.... (<warlord reading this over my shoulder crosses legs and slowly flaps away....>

We can only hope for the demise of said pets in the existence they are known as today. For once, perhaps, the map will be somewhat less troubled with infiltrated monsters' minds.
