1001skins

[garetjax]

So, I 1001skins.com | I have been silent over the course of some time as I put up the website for sale;

I had some interesting, reasonable and awesome offers...however, at I could not in good faith give it up. Although, I have felt the constant pressure of hackers and etc; I believe in the mission of the website. To provide designs to winamp and other applications without all the fuss.

I have decided to migrate the entire site once more to a CMS/blogging platform. I have been working on this over the past month and am nearly complete in my final touches.

I wanted to provide this forum with a first glimpse of what the site will look like and give you all an idea of what to expect as well the changes.

At present, we still do not have a featured skins/etc as all ratings have been dumped; and I still haven't put together a download page for winamp, plugins, etc. ( I will )

Anyway...the temporary home:
https://1001skins.com/newsite

Rest assured if you register etc for the site; then your reg will remain in tact once I replace the homesite with this new site.

Let me know if you have suggestions.

Looks gorgeous! What I find a bit distracting is the background image that does not move with the rest of the page while scrolling down. You want to focus on the content but the unmoving background steals focus tiring the eye.

[Victhor]

Wow! I'm so glad you decided to go this way, really looks good for the time being. I can tell there's still work to do, though the static bg doesn't bother me I guess it's temporary since a box is missing, to separate the text from the background.
Anyway, I hope things are easier for your under WP, the previous version of the site was good as repository but quite limited itself by no achieving 100% effective ways to update and upload skins. I have no problems on updating my previews, looks like new preview images will be needed, right?

[garetjax]

Preview images can be updated by each member. I have like 7440 images for skins to work with at the moment. I have opted for a simple display of each of them in a post. I haven't yet, settled in on a 'theme' for wordpress to use on 1001skins.com.

Each author that has a valid email will be able to retrieve their account and if they so choose update their posts (skins) in any way they feel necessary (including previews of their skins).

Ratings are dynamic and are hosted by a 3rd party. The site is pretty much self maintainable with wordpress. I will still keep the API access for external applications, websites and etc. so that they may access the websites resources (skins, and etc).

[ariszlo]

Looks better than yesterday!

[garetjax]

thank you...the switch over will be coming soon.

[Victhor]

New site in place, congrats! >> www.1001skins.com

[garetjax]

Thank you...and yes, it is now live.

[Victhor]

Can't login neither reset my password since the e-mail is missing the key part..

[ariszlo]

Browsing it for pleasure...

The title of this skin should be I en tid som vår, not "I En Tid Som VÃ¥r".

Heh I was testing the new edit / submit system, works great for now, maybe TOO powerful for Joe's own benefit. But there are very few skinners to be too worried about it.. right?

[garetjax]

System is setup with roles

Each Role has a finite and limited access restriction to do specific things.

Contributor - Can edit posts, create posts, and now are limited to their own media in the media library.

There are quite a few other roles: Admin, Author, Subscriber, Skinner, Moderator, SEO Author, SEO Contributor, Designer, Coder, Template Manager, and etc.

Each has finely tuned permissions that allow them to do only a certain few things or alot of things depending on how I wanted to 'provide' access.

[Victhor]

Ok, so I'm more than happy with my role heh. Hopefully more people will join in and add cool content to the site..

[garetjax]

[Victhor]

That looks incredibly sweet!! You haven't lost a bit of your touch! =)

[garetjax]

bah...I suck victhor.

[PranksterBear]

I'm finding a lot of skins 404 error out and can't be downloaded.

[garetjax]

fixed a while back.

[kleopartitia]

I love this collection!

[softGalaxy]

the site's down

[ariszlo]

And sadly it is excluded from the Internet Archive because of a darned robots.txt it used.

[ariszlo]

Let's remember 1001skins with its most downloaded Winamp skins (the download numbers were saved on November 29, 2016):

1. Slick Redux: 3,819,797 downloads (check out Slick Redux II, too)
2. Preslice 2: 915,600 downloads

And have a look at the DeviantArt gallery of Garet-Jax, who had maintained 1001skins until it went down.

[garetjax]

I have all the skins, all the users, all the profiles, ratings, downloads etc.
I wonder what I will do.

....long live....winampskins

[The1_Freeman]

upload it to archive.org?

[intlhouseofdan]

What happened to the website? I am looking for the original blue Ice Fusion and I can't find it anywhere.

[ariszlo]

Do you mean this one? I have it but I am not sure whether GaretJax would allow me to share it.

[intlhouseofdan]

Yes! That's the one!

[ariszlo]

Since Joe has never minded his skins being distributed, I am attaching it for you.

[intlhouseofdan]

Thank you very much!

So you have brought it back.

[garetjax]

Sort of; migrated domain due to a variety of issues. I've kept pretty much every skin submitted thought, and finishing up migration to the new site. Trying to not make promises or speak to things until I have finished the migration. Apparently takes some time to do this...

Sorry; the domains are good and new 1001skins has been paid for the year. Still doing stuff minimally...but, at least the downloads work.


- The original domain just didn't have the bandwidth to serve all the users; wow...seriously? like all 12 of them... hehahahha.

Republish took longer; than I wanted.
