Removal of all MY home-made skins!

[Jebs]

Hi!

I want to tell the Winamp Staff that the RIP system seems not to work very well, or perhaps they don' t check with a minimum precaution, because ALL my skins (NHL skins - section Sports), i've made since 2 long years, have been deleted a few days ago (exactly the 27/04)! Why? I don' t know, but i' m very angry, because it took me a lot of time to do them, and of course because it was nice to see that a lots of people liked them and downloaded them (more than 300.000 for one of the skins), Two of them were in the first page of the Sports section since they were published!
So what you would tell me? So, i'ts a good reason to delete the address of winamp.com in my favorites but i won' t do that, because i want to know who told you that they are rip...I don' t know if someone of winamp can answer me, but it would be very appreciated.
Because i've done them, obviously, i' ve got hundreds of ways to prove that! (i've still got the image files in .psd (photoshop) i' ve got a website in french about the NHL (since 2 years) where all my works are (skins, wallpapers...):

here is the adress of the page where my skins can be downloaded:

http://nhlfr.free.fr/index.php3?contenu=skins&typeskin=toutes

what can i say more? the name of my skins are:
'NHL Colorado Avalanche Skin'
'The NHL Toronto Maple Leafs Skin'
'The Absolute Red Wings Skin'
'The NHL Pittsburgh Skin'
'The NHL Buffalo Sabres Skin'
'The Absolute Dallas Stars Skin'
'NHL Saint Louis Blues Skin'

what more? the skin 'Canada Ice Hockey Team Skin' has not even been published...perhaps it' s a also a RIP!!!!

hope someone will answer me soon

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SPORTS SKINS?

AOL owns Nullsoft, the company that publishes Winamp and upkeeps the winamp.com website. Recently (August 31ish, 2001) AOL corporate notified the Webmaster of winamp.com that they were very displeased by the fact that winamp.com allowed major league sport skins to be published on their website. A list of skins to be deleted was sent along with this message, as well as the instructions not to publish any more 'NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL or college team skins' on the site. We of the Skin Review Squad apologize to the authors of such skins, and suggest that you try DeviantArt,1001 Winamp Skins, or any other of the numerous sites that publish Winamp 2.xx skins.


Your have been caught up in the continuing database purge and removed from the site.

2) This forums is for reporting rips of your skins by others, not for appealing against stuff you have removed, that can be found here

3) I see you've now found that thread and had your question answered again.

Locked.

Interesting you can find both of these forums, but can't bother to read the big FAQ thread posted at the top of both. Hmm. BTW - I've posted this exactly in both forums.
