I don't hate the SZ, nor does it 'suck ass' (Got your attention though, right?). However, I have a serious question to ask. Who here on the SZ has impacted upon you stay here, and changed it to some degree? (I know it's only a forum, but it's still a form of communication beetween real life people after all) To clarify, we're talking about those pillars of the community, Graphics gods and skinning masters that made an effect on you. Maybe you saw some of their work/posts and wanted to emulate them on the SZ. Perhaps they influenced you in some way. Names and reasons please ![]() For example: Heretic: For inspiring me to make a skin or two. Diluted.: (When he was Set Korden) For inspiring me to use forum games as an excuse to raise my post count a lot higher than it should have been. Those were the days Spamurai X hiko/GDF/Stary/Format/Liberate (Now Duality, but you were Liberate when I thought you rocked in General chat): My General chat inspirations, and made me the poster I am now. Wesdude/Metabolic: For inspiring me to make button sets ![]() Note: When I joined and before I posted, Metabolic was the person I noticed most when I simply lurked. Great guy. Duality (As I know you know): I have an MSN list full of people wanting to be cool, but I can always count on you to have at least a semi-intelligent convo. Locke: I sincerely doubt you think of highly of me these days, but you really come across as an intelligent guy and always have. Jared: The only admin i've spoken to on MSN who has come across as himself and really down to earth. Kudos for that. F8: I really thought you sucked at one point (Remember that long-ass PM i sent you when I was staff?), but you've come far with your deserved red cross and such. You made me proud. MasterG: You may not be as friendly now as you used to be, but you are the reason i'm here. thank you. Ulf: You rock, quite simply. I hope that one day they stop thinking of you as a spammer and promote you to the leet group. You deserve it more than some in there >.> I'll add more if I can think of any. Now people, it's your turn. Fire away

A lot of people have really impacted me but I'm just going to list those that have influenced my activity and attitude on the Skin Zone. So this isn't like a respect list of who I like the most, it's simply who has influenced how I act and strive to act around this place ![]() Locke: Just a superb leader. He does to much work around here for me to even keep track of ![]() Nicola: Nic has influenced my work ethic around here. She is nearly always doing a truckload of work in the Skin Searches and even as an RA she was a huge performer. She does her job and does it right ![]() Alpha: Alpha has influenced my attitude around General Chat. His innovative personality has been a huge inspiration and it's hard to think of SZ Shows and contests without thinking of Alpha ![]() Trav-man: Similar to Nicola. Trav has a good work ethic and he's been a great person to talk to and build a forum with. Catfriedrice- He probably taught me the most in my first day or so as staff. Especially with PYF stuff, which is always interesting |

Good point. Ladies, gentlemen and 'other', please be reminded this is not a respect list, but a list of those who have 'impacted' you. Thank you. |

Dante X:One of my first inspirations to stay here, he is one of the coolest kids, and he just always makes my day a little brighter. Dave, Robo Spirit, kEn.Zo:One cool kid, I have liked you from CA days and now on IFSZ, even if you do mostly stay in the g. requests... Burned:I have always wanted to know you, and know I do, so you inspire me to stay here. Juano:Not many people get you, but I do, and its always funny to see you pwn someone. For all of the others, you guys are cool, but I hardly see you, and then there are some that make me want to leave, but I never will. |

Jared: Back when SZ was young, all the admins were cool and talked as such, not as stuck up pricks (no offense intended). Jared is the only one who is still himself, he's still fun to talk to, you can still hold normal conversations with him, and he laughs like a normal person. He hasn't become a machine. Intimidator: Before SZ he was a cool friend, even during, he's the reason I joined. He always had good skins and his design is above average. Alpha: He got me to calm down some, I couldn't post a nice psot until he came around ![]() Vulcan: He's just t3h sex. It's that simple. Jennifer: I'm completely unsure of what her current name is here, I wish I still talked to her but lsot contact. She was the awesomeest She had kickass skins, and me and her shared the same amount of power when we were staff, controlling people was fun She is the reason I got into serious skinning with real forum software solutions. <3 Jen Jen!!

There are many more than one persons that I admire and look up to here, but the one individual who has impacted me most is... Goe! I know it sounds like but kissing because he is an admin, but if Goe was a banned member I'd still say the same thing. When I was first starting out in skinning I was a bit tentative to actually post my skin. I thought it was pretty bad despite my long efforts to make it. But Goe, goeyoshi of the wow team at the time, said something so encouraging that I have continued to post here and make skins ever since. He made me feel like I actually had potential in skinnng, and I know I am not nearly the skinner zeus and Heretic are, but he really gave me a reason to continue skinning despite myself not being the best. He may not know how much of an impact he really had on me, but well I guess he will now ![]() There is one more individual who deserves some recognition me thinks...Charlo. Charlo has all the qualities I strive for, he is humble, hard working, and friendly. He may not be on top of everyone's popularity list, but he still comes to the skin zone everyday and does his thing. I admire that so much and I think he deserves a nice clap on the back ![]() And of course Locke has my unconditional respect, but I think he does from just about everyone ![]() Okay I am going to stop now because there are so many people I love here and this post could go on for hours...seriosuly. |

Rowain: You were awesome, I looked up too you so much and was quite sad when you left. Ross, CFR, and Emily: You guys mad a huge impact on me when I was less than a good member and I respect you a lot for sticking there with me and helping me along. Locke and Goe: Part of the reason this site attracted me was the work you put in. Thanks. Juano: Having a member at my level to talk to was also awesome. I could of went on and on, but really, thanks. |

Crimson: When I first joined I was looking through the graphics battles and graphic showcase and I notice you're graphics and thought they were very good so I decided to try graphics myself. Websurfer(myr): He also inspired me with his graphics and He may not remember but just before he got banned and when he was banned we talked on msn sometimes. Felix(Phyrro): When I first joined I looked up to him skin-wise and decided to get into skins myself. Duality/Format/Heretic: Without them I probably wouldn't still be here, I had lots of fun with them on msn and they always kept the general chat fun for me too bad any of them aren't really that active anymore especially format Cronus: If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here because I found this place through the skin copyright on his forum plus we talked alot on msn Set Korden(Diluted.): My first friend on invisionfree we originally met on miyamoto's forum and became good internet friends and talked alot on msn he has gone far ifsz-wise 2shot/hugh tate/samurai X hiko: Just generally great people who also keep me coming to ifsz too bad hugh tate can't go on the computer anymore =/ (also they all have great taste in music which is a plus :P) Slayer: Great guy to talk to I look up to him on here\ Rowain: When he first joined here I made him a sig and he was really happy about it so it made me feel like I was getting good ![]() Locke: Really great guy I knew him before he was on ifsz with skin realm or something I forget. He is a very intelligent person and has helped skin zone out alot. Jayster: I'm not really sure if he likes me but I use to talk to him on msn once in a while and it was fun and he is one of the best graphic artists on here(imo) and I look up to him graphic-wise Mr.Camo: Great guy, I use to talk to him often and I've watched him progress in graphics, he has kinda stopped now but he was getting really good even if he doesn't know it. FusionX: Another awesome guy, we use to talk on msn alot and we still do, he was the first person I made a skin with and it turned out great. Jared: I've known him since his paintballaddickt days and I've gotta agree with myr he still is the same....an awesome guy. I might have missed some sorry. |

Goe. He's definately the funniest administrator, and it's so cool how he strives to improve himself every day. He's a fellow perfectionist, and when I talk to him on MSN... he's always telling me how bad his grades suck (which are A's and B's). He's also a wicked person and a wonderful friend <3. Clair. You're just too cool for words, girl. <3 Diluted. He's definately my favorite staff member because he is so friendly and nice. We have a lot in common, and he's just the best person to talk to if you're feeling down in the dumps. His jokes aren't bad either :P. <3 People that I admire, but I'm too lazy to write anything about them: Amberon l Locke l Travman l Kyle l Will l .Raven l Eggs l Wesdude l .Mercenary |

Goeyoshi, Aaron, Goe: Quite possibbly one of the most influentual people I've met on invisionfree. Met him when the Enigmatic Skinners clan formed back in the day. He taught me how to skin, and really taught me the ropes aroud here when I was still a newb. I feel like I know him more on a personal level than on an IF level now more than anyone else on IF. Nicola Again, one of the people who I have to say has influenced not only my skinning skill, but the way in which I do it. She taught me some of the more advanced aspects of skinning, and is an awesome person. Definaltly someone I enjoy talking to on a day-to-day basis. Andrew, Intimidator Well, without his showing of pure good, I wouldn't be here today. Again, a great guy whom I wish i knew better. SyringeX One of the nicest, and most skilled template designers that I know to date. Myr Well, without him, I'd still be running winblows and be in the dark about half of the things going on in the linux world. Thanks again for turning me on to GNU :). No-One else has really influenced me that much. And I reiterate, this is NOT a respect list, but a list of those who have influenced me. |

As others, just those with the biggest impact on me: Da Vinci - Without you, I wouldn't be skinning. ![]() Ignite - My lost twin, and only a kitty-corner state away, I still think it's incredibly creepy how much we have in common. SyKo/Godman - First IFSZ 'friend' really, good all-around guy and for some reason can't get annoyed with me even when it's 3 AM and I'm overtired. Glen37/Nitroxide - Got me into Skinnerz Anonymous when there were still skin clans, so congrats to you, because I wouldn't be at the SZ without that. ![]() I have a huge amount to ramble about, but those are first to my mind.

Ross: Well your were Ghetto Oracle at the time, but you helped me with a whole bunch of graphics stuff when I first joined. I still suck, but it was the thought that counts CFR, and Locke: Your dedication to the support team was what got me to stick around, and continue attempting to skin. BW: A good comment about a first skin goes a long way. ![]() Will, you gave me good support all around, helped me out, and was friendly. We've definatly gotten farther apart but you're still awsome for helping me, in my book ![]() Theres other people too, peoples who's graphics I've seen and said "holy crap I want to do that". Well I can't but it was cool imagining it ![]() Edit: Random 1 inch space on top of post.... |

Duffman199345: Hope I got the numbers correct. Anywho, I believe you were the first member I really met here. And hey, we've both changed a lot. Glad to still know you. YoRone22 and Myr: Open Source users unite, eh! Two great guys, who know what they're talking about, and can be comedians at times too :o. Jesus, rofl. Myr, you taught me that Linux > All other OSs. Rone, you just bothered me and made me laugh. ![]() Jim: Meh, you've changed a lot in the socialization area online, but you're still a 'cool cat'. I remember when I met you and Clark (subliminal message, he pawnskthx) and we had those great msn convos. I love your song. ![]() Kyle: You tell me many secrets, Mr. T :o And you express yourself. You kind of influenced me in a way as to be myself, and try not to mind others. And as you always say, 'I LOVE YOU MAN!!1' ![]() Lugiatm: Man, you sort of sprung me into forcing myself to type correctly. I thank you, DEARLY, for that un-intentional act. I miss seeing you as often as I once did. Tom, the British, fat kid who has a sense of humour for more than his own good. |
