Blackbolt: Everyone else here seem to be able to release alphas and betas without charging. So I can't se why you shouldn't be able to do that? And ofcouse you can charge people for you skin, but I just don't think you should advertise it on this site, out of respect for XBMC and XBMC-developers and other skinmakers.

Ofcouse I do realise that you put in hundreds of hours of work into you skin, and I do appreciate it. But I think that the entire philosophy behind this is that everyone do what everyone have the time to do, and knowledge to do. And if someone wants to donate, feel free to do it. TeamXBMC also put in hundreds of hours of work, and they do not ask for money when they release a beta or alpha version of XBMC, or any of the other skin-makers.

And the other skinmakers, seem to find it sufficent to use free-hosting-sites for their downloads, and use these forums for chat and feedback. But TeamBlackbolt need another site, another forum and another chat? Yes, charge people for it, but not on this site.

If you think i am ungrateful, you are completely wrong, I am so fucking grateful for the entire XBMC, and all of the skins (even the ones I am not using). I often feel like a looser that I am not able to help out, because I have much technical computer skills, but no programming or skinning skills. I donate as much as i can, but at the moment I don't have much to give. I just don't think it is right that you should beg for money, and not the maker of transparency, aeon, alaska, pm3, and all of the other skins.

If you should be allowed to ask for money here, why shouldn't everyone?
And where will we end up if everyone starts charging for their alpha and beta-releases?

But this is just my opinion.

Thanks for making skins, but I will not pay anything for this skin. But I will donate to the others. Donation is one think, but what you are doing is wrong in this forum.

And my real name is Björn.
