    No doubt, he's definitely one of the great designers out there for forums.

    If he had said something about having problems some of us might have been willing to help him out.
    I'd have bought a couple of themes just to keep him in business.

    Wow, that's kind of depressing. Is there no way that people can donate to him and try and get him to change his mind?

    That's such a shame, he really is a superb designer. Hopefully he will be back soon.

    Hopefully he will be back. Seemed like a light at the end of the tunnel. He has great themes indeed and I just hope to see his work again one day.

    Was looking for him a month ago and was disappointed to hear of the closure.

    Yea, he wasn't making enough money to keep his coder paid so he had to let him go. He is planning on learning how to code for himself for vb 4 - 5, ipb, and xf for the next few months and will see if that helps get him back in the game. I used him for all my skins and want him to get back into it as I will always have new work for him. He just needs to learn to code himself.

    That's what I'm saying as well. Hopefully he does come back, the game does need him.

    I remember having a little look at minerskins and it looked dead but 8 years is a long time so congratulations to him for that for such a long successful site maybe he might considering reopening i'm not sure.
