The popularity of skins has altered the way skins are made. Now, downloads of 50,000 are common and most of the top skins can expect to be reaching towards 100,000 downloads. I remember when the first 'Aqua' skins came out and the infamous 'WinAqua' from Dangeruss managed to get 5 THOUSAND downloads total which was, back 2000 or so, a real milestone. Back then, a popular skin might get a 1000 downloads. Users from around the world created some incredibly fantastic skins.Ĭulturally, skinning is a great deal different today than it was back in the late 90s.
Last year was another great year for skinning.
