A pinned Incoming skins thread?

[336th_Ripper*]

Hello all esteemed skinners, moderators @Bearcatand virtual pilots waiting for their favorite skins.

 

I feel that the skin threads are becoming quite chaotic. It would be nice to have ONE pinned thread for all skin requests for all planes.

 

This would avoid multiple requests in various threads and confirm which skinners are working on which skins. I would hate to work many hours on a skin just to see that another person was also working on it! Then once released skinners would post them in the pinned threads for each model ( like the P-51  not yet pinned) and then skinners can link those to their personal Skin thread afterwards.
 

Make sense? 
 

Thanks!

Is there some kind of rule prohibiting multiple skinners doing the "same" skin? I don't see why you should give up on 'your' skin just because someone else is making their own version.

 

Personally, I never liked publishing skins in a forum format, as it is as you say, chaotic at best. Forum posts mean that all skins are everywhere and anywhere, and it makes it nearly impossible to search. M4T is probably the only thing still going as far as a content website but the Il2GB section is somewhat underused.

Hello @Megalax

 

Of course skinners may want to make the same skin but some may simply make one because of a request not knowing that there is another skinner making one. It’s within that Spirit I wrote this.
