Check the date of the OP. Probably no need to take another bite.

CPBama, you've downloaded nearly 4gb of skins since Oct of 2006, I would think $20 is a bargain for the amount of content you've downloaded to date. Let's be honest, I'm sure you've found a few skins that made your subscription worth it considering the amount you've downloaded from this website. The wc subscription allows you to surf the site with relatively little ads, download as many skins as you want, participate in the forums and talk with alot of great people as you're doing now, and it allows you to upload content to this website if you feel like being creative - all for $20, I would think that this is a bargain.

Everybody's perception of value is always going to be different, you still have a few months left in your subscription, why not branch out and try your hand at uploading something you've created to this website and showcase it among the rest of great skins available. You would be surprised at the feeling you get from being creative and sharing your stuff with other people and receiving feedback from other people on the work you've done.

Premium skins are exactly that, premium content. We all have wb subscriptions which allows us access to the regular content on this site which is quite excellent if you ask me. The premium skins on this site help provide credit to authors that have been contributing to this site and the skinning community in general for years and also congratulates/recognizes those authors that have achieved an incredible skill level in skinning. I don't imagine you could make a full-time income from this kind of work (if you can, even better!) but it's still nice to get paid for doing something you love - we should all be so lucky in life.

For what it's worth, I think it's a good idea for you to stick around and check out the rest that this site offers and making use of other site features you probably haven't looked into. I've never regretted it and from the feedback you've seen thus far in this discussion, a few others share the same sentiment.   

(- if anything you could download another 3 - 4 gb of skin content before you subscription expires   )

it gets me that so many people complain about having to pay 5 dollars for a master skin, as if this will break the bank and drop them into unlivable poverty. the master skins are made by people who have already given to the skinning community with many many free themes, i think it is fair that they get a little back for their efforts, so to those complainers, stop bitching and understand that these people are working their asses off to build themes etc that people will enjoy and they deserve some monetary compensation for that.

See reply #16  

yeah, #16.   missed that.
