Over the past week I've heard DS, Big Daddy and Psycos talk about how cool their skins are. Lamron, Vinsanity, myself and a few others want to know if there is a way for non members to see the skins during gameplay? We understand that the skins are for members only however it would be cool to see anyway. Is this possible?

To clear something up, I've only seen screenshots of Widows new skin and saw BigD's when they first got it from AIGAD. I don't see the members skins in game. That's a members only perk.

My mistake. I thought it was you on TS the other day talking about it. It must have been someone else.

I have a strict no-distributing rule for the LPskin packs. There is a reason for the no distributing rule, and its not "Lamron doesn't want to share his toys". Every skin in that pack was taken from someone else's work. Many of them have had small errors fixed by adding parts taken from other skins. There are 54 skins in the current pack, and every author sets up is file structure differently. So I restructure them into a universal layout that I've designed to help me keep them all organized. Then they are all renamed for each LPmember. There are also several unique skins that individual members have created themselves that are not available anywhere. Permission for this usage was not obtained from any of the authors, and the restructuring removes any crediting notes left by them. I have the utmost respect for the artist who created these skins and do not want to appear to be taking any credit for other's hard work. We know that our usage is innocent and that's why we do it here, privately. In the modding community, which most players never see any part of, your reputation is all you have. Reputation is built on the inventiveness and quality of your mods, and your willingness to share knowledge with other developers. Stealing another person's work and calling it your own is considered about as low as you can stoop. Its down there with cheaters. Even just the accusation of plagiarism is enough to turn people against you. So I feel that my handling of the information contained in these LPskin packs must be absolutely above reproach. However, if any LPmembers would like to post screenshots of your skins in this thread to show them off, I have no objection. Here are mine:

Wow DS....looks like all those bashes I gave you really affected your allied skin hehe. Lam, that skeleton is quite possibly the sweetest skin I've seen. BigD's new one is competition though.
