    Have you ever purchased a forum skin?

    Have you ever purchased a skin or theme for a forum? (IPB, pbpBB, or vB mainly)

    I'm just curious. Click yes if you've never purchased a full skin, but have paid for for smilies or buttons for a forum.

    As an aside: if you did purchase something, was it custom or premade?

    I don't think it's any easier than making a website from scratch. The same skills are involved. And we all know how popular websites templates are (look at TemplateMonster, BoxedArt, the SP template forum, etc.). I'm just curious as to the market for forum skins to see if it's worth my time to try to sell some.

    I haven't purchased one but have downloaded a free one. Not because it was free but because I liked it the most of all the ones I seen. One thing I have noted about forum skins is that a lot of them have slow download time and I like to provide for visitors on dial up connections.
