I think that it would be good for the site if we held a skin design competition every now and then in order to keep the look fresh for people that visit YW all the time.
Something even cooler would be to have a way to choose the skin from within the control panel. The available range of skins would be from all the past contest winners.
In order to get this idea started, we need to have some guidelines in place as to what will/will not be accepted as a valid skin entry.
As far as the guidelines for creating a valid vBulletin 3.8 skin, I found the following: http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/skins-styles.htm
In regards to the YW rules of skin design, I would require a moderator (or even an admin) to write a list of rules to follow. A few to get us started (off the top of my head):
No explicit content allowed. PG material only.
Very limited animations only
Must meet size requirements
