he's saying why make skins when you can sell em.

they have to be TOP-NOTCH to be sold. Good skins which are sold over the internet take weeks to complete and optimize as everything is taken into consideration. they make the images as small as possible without reducing quality and test each skin in other browsers.

Thanks for the translation.

Most people don't sell their skins because there are so many other places where skins are free. It's like if every gasoline store had free gas,(which is far from reality i know, but i'm bad with analogies, work with me) if one store started selling it, even if it's... umm... top... notch.... gas........ people would probably not get it from that store, since they can get it free from somewhere else.

Hmmm I think i'm speaking dutch now >_<

Those skins have to be like, 1000 times better than IFSZ skin to be sold.
Thats why they are all free.

I have a system at my forum where members can pay $2 to use a skin without a copyright, the money made is then used for things such as ad removal for donating groups ect.

Yeah, and you flamands say "zeker en vast"
Maar 't is toch echt "vast en zeker" :P

Anyways, on topic, they might be doing it for the fun of it?
Fun plays a big role in having a board, regardless of the board's... ermm... theme thing.

(for some reason I feel the need to use japanese whenever I get the chance, oh well.)

どうした?

君はチョコレートが好きでないですよね?

(end japanese stoof)

Anyway, if I was getting charged for skins, i'd want to make sure that they were the best skins I ever saw in my life, otherwise I would not spend a dime.

and they have to be copyright free, with matching button sets, pips, and team icons.
And they have to be THAT good.

I thought that but wasn't sure when I read it :lol:

Well like everyone's said, you could only sell them if they were the best of the best and (in spite of the mass of WOW skins in IFSZ) there are very very very few that could possibly be considered at that level :/ otherwise you'd be selling off pretty standard skins at rip off prices...unless it was like 99 cents :P

Of course, this being InvisionFree, it would completely defeat the purpose to sell skins >_<
