masterskins have caused a lot of controversy since their implementation....bad blood....site departures...resentful comments....
life was more peaceful without them.....
but why shouldn't there be some reward for people who have devoted an extraordinary number of hours to honing their skills....it's a simple choice, buy...or not...plenty of free ones....but, supporting your masterskinners helps give them time to keep working and improving on the quality of skins.....and we have seen the quality of skinning overall improve, with Masters lifting the bar & passing on their knowledge. For that reason, it's important to keep up the standard of the Master skin. To me, if it's not the best the skinner can do...it's letting down the program. That said, you will never get unanimous agreement on a masterskin....different designs appeal to different people...and opinions...while they can be argued....should be respected and hopefully, learnt from.
my worry, is that up and comers, may now view the status as primarily money making....and forget the kudos....and the responsibility to the community and actively helping in the forums that comes with the territory...when striving for this position...the wrong motivation...
just what we need, another thread about this subject!
agreed...
let's have no more destructive threads....
You mean the FreE-Generation?
very funny.... 
I was recently in hospital and one of the 'fellow inmates'...kept saying every meal time for the entire week....the food was better in prison.... 
after a few of his stories of living in Kings Cross (not the best spot ) and his experiences there....I refrained from asking what he was in for.....
