Well basically if you've ever heard of extremepixels.com then you'll know what im ranting on about. Basically i was stuck between putting it in discussion or development on here. But i put it in development because i want to make this site.
Now i am thinking of making a website where i make IPB skins and supply them to the public for free. Basically i'd go for a non-profit showoff which people can take advantage of. Just wondering how many people would actually use any skins which i would provide.
If there nice, I would use them definately. If they are more classic and plain, I would still probaly use them. Nothing outrageous. Depends really what you are offering. Of course its free, why not

I skin for IPB and once owned a very small free skinning site. Skins are what people want and there are so many forums out there that it's a good chance of being very successful provided that there are numerous, well-designed skins and discussion and support to go with them. You might also want to include a Paypal donate button, there are generous people that use free skins that will donate.
Good luck, keep us updated if you decide to follow through with the plan!
Thanks for the nice input, yeah it's just an idea at the moment, first i have to get other things sorted, eg. my forum and so on. Basically i have the easter holidays soon and it could be a good project to work on ^_^ Ill keep your feedback in ming
Great, you already have a memberbase to work with if you base it off your forum. I agree that it would be a good project to work on during a holiday break, I usually do that on long weekends.
