/me would like to see more reskins. Haven't had any for ages. It was fun.---Asteroid B612 (aka Rataube) - Ñ 10:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Well do something about it, identify an appropriate anniversary, knock up an appropriate skin and on the day get an admin to change it.......--The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 11:18, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure. Ideas for reskins? More people who'd like to try?---Asteroid B612

(aka Rataube) - Ñ 11:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Some of our best reskins have been based (vaguely) on real anniversaries and events. Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries is a good place to start, as is BBC - On This Day. -- Sir Codeine K·H·P·B·M·N·C·U·Bu. · (Harangue) 11:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I did two reskins (the 666 and the Canada Day ones) and was told to slow down, and basicly to stop, because there were to many reskins. If this means that the market is back open I will start up my mill again. Oh, and I'm sure someone has started the Halloween reskin, eh? --Sir Z o m b i e b a ro n 13:16, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

If I remember correctly, the prevailing opinion is that there should be apprx. one reskin a month. Earlier this year, we were avg. 2-3 a month, and that was too much (which is probably when Zombie got his last info). it's been months since the last reskin, so another would certainly be a good idea (although checking with TINC leader RC before doing ANYTHING is always a good idea).--<<>> 02:10, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

RC voted down a popular Benson reskin that I thought was kinda funny. And I'm not saying it as a Bensonist, I'm saying it as it's, just plain funny. But there are always other ideas. We could reskin it for Halloween. You know, do a Zork reskin and mention creeping Grues (then again, I know some of you are tired of Grues). Crazyswordsma n...With SAVINGS!!!!

I have an idea I've discussed with RC regarding the hoidays...Assuming my article gets a features, we could do one Hanukkah reskin, and then another Christmas one with Todd's The Night After Christmas...Just a possibilty. -- Sir C

Holla | CUN 04:07, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

And if someone has an idea for October or November, go ahead and work something up...just make sure it lives up to previous reskins to some extent (and ask me or another admin-type beforehand so that we can nix any more Benson reskins and the like). —rc (t) 04:14, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Those are hard to do. I mean, how do you get to hide the menu and stuff? Crazyswordsma n...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 05:46, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Menu hiding is as simple as getting an admin to aprove it. But preferably we don't want to always hide those in reskins. ---Rev. Isra (talk) 19:28, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I miss reskins too. How long has it been since the last one? Feels like ages. Anyway, Benson: has been sitting there unused for quite some time. It really needs to be used sooner or later. --User:Nintendorulez 20:28, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Also, if ∩ ever gets featured, there's Mai∩ Page. --User:Nintendorulez 14:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Whoa, retro reskin...--<<

>> 17:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it's really old and yet to be used. Once I stop being so... lazy... I'll update it. --User:Nintendorulez 17:58, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Interesting point... I'd like to see a retro design reskin. -- Hindleyite 18:10, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Bday: —rc (t) 01:23, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I have ideas for two reskins: Eon8 and Web 2.0. I'll start with the latter, because it wouldn't make much sense for an Eon8 reskin to be showcased until July 1, 2007. - User:Guest/sig 18:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

It's kinda too late for an Eon8 reskin, period. Woulda been a good idea back... erm... however long ago that was, but too late now. Although I just got a new idea: As soon as Net Neutrality is/isn't passed, a Series of tubes reskin. --User:Nintendorulez 22:21, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

There's one more, I made EBay: some time ago (based on EBay) and it hasn't been used yet. Although it's screwed now for some reason, so screw it. - User:Guest/sig 07:12, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I would really enjoy a "the internet isn't a series of tubes, it's a truck you load stuff onto" reskin. It'd be a more original take on those bizarre comments.--<<

>> 00:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay, here we go: User:Guest/Web 2.0. - User:Guest/sig 17:20, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Looks good to me. -- Hindleyite 18:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

And me...just find a date for it (maybe email me the date or PM me in IRC so we can keep part of it secret) and we'll be good to go. Except obviously some of the info (featured article, etc.) will need to be updated when it goes live. —rc (t) 01:23, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

WHAT ABOUT BENSON'S RESKIN? Benson 19:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I hear talk of this Benson chap yet I know not a doddle who or what he is.

19:52, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

He's this guy who marched onto the Forum one day with his capital letters and "can do" attitude. People were polorized in their view of him. Some pople radically love him, while us sain ones have the better sence to ignore him. Also, he doesn't like me. --Sir Z o m b i e b a ro n 22:17, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm sane and I love him. He's Uncyclopedia's God after all (Along with the Goddess Sophia). Crazyswordsma n...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 01:50, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

How about a true aspie reskin?--<<>> 15:27, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I like the cut of that forums jib. Make it so --Nytrospawn 16:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps. Crazyswordsma n...With SAVINGS!!!! (T/C) 16:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I have one up my sleeve for 11th Novemeber... --The Rt. Hon. BarryC MUN (Symposium!) Sigh. Double Sigh. 16:56, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

BENSON LIKES ZOMBIEBARON. HE IS A CONSTANT REMINDER OF WHY BENSON IS BETTER THEN THE AVERAGE HUMAN-MONKEY. EVEN IF HE IS A BIT UNDERAVERAGE.... Benson 01:58, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I miss them again

I want more!---Asteroid B612 (aka Rataube) - Ñ 16:55, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

There's no real incentive to reskin because there hasn't been much novelty around lately. We could always finish that Conservapedia reskin we started a while ago, though. Someone started that a while ago, right? -- TKFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK 17:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

This? If I remember correctly, it got peoples's hackles up. Hackles, incidentally, are hard to cook right. If you pick them when they're ripe, however, they're delicious. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 18:51, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

We could also do a "100 VFD Archives" reskin. That's only 10 archives away. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 17:29, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

That conservapedia one looks good, I could totally go for that. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 04:35, 16 Sep 2007

Yes, but remember this? I'm all for the Conservapedia reskin, BTW. Of course, I was involved in the Hitchhiker's one, so my word on reskins is, how you say, moot. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

How about a link to UnNews:Defenseless Hummer viciously attacked by Eco-Nazis? That's pretty Conservative, IMO. P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 04:54, Sep 16

I've added it in, just figured I'd mention it. P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 04:56, Sep 16

Go crazy. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 05:05, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

The only thing wrong with the hitchhiker's one was the colours, everything else was good. As for that topic, it made the fundamental mistake of asking people. You just have to say, "we're doing this reskin on this day" and people won't get that chance to complain.

The reskin itself could probably do with being updated to match cp's current from page. I like the idea of not just altering our main page, but switching over to their format entirely. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 05:02, 16 Sep 2007

"Their format"? So we'll ban people who don't believe what we believe? Cool. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 05:05, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

You know, ironically, "their format" was developed by "you people". P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 05:08, Sep 16

From the conservapedia block log...

I just took a brief look through their logs-- some funny stuff in there.

And this is what I was going to add (to Cactus)...

Liberal Anti-Cactus Conspiracy: In recent years, evil liberals have taken to the streets in protest of cactus. These spineless terrorist-lovers are too PC to deal with the sharp needles that emerge from God's Chosen Desert Plant and have demanded to have all cactus needles removed, as well as pass unconstitutional laws that require background checks of all who purchase cacti! Hopefully, the Republican party will take back control in 2008 and get our country going in the right direction once more.
