Advertise Willz' Guide
Having guides or tuts isn't the point. The point is that many threads are created (and still will be created, eventhough there are excellent guides/tuts) which are about the same subject. The only reason for those double threads is that people can't immediatly "see" a similar thread and thus create a new one. And this is not going to be less in the future, in fact it will only increase.

These threads that are about the same subject are, more often than not, questions on how to skin, or "I have this problem, what do I do?" Splitting the '[request]' threads into a separate sub=forum was one step to cleaning up this section. Why bother cleaning up the 'double-threads-about-the-same-subject', when you can almost eliminate them by putting this guide at the very top. That is the point.

at poresent putting willz guide at the top wont change anything as he hasnt really covered that much in the extensive world of skinning as yet, maybe when he has done like 50 chapters then yeah it might acheive what your suggesting however i doubt itll ever solve the problem completely, theres always going to be things people want to know how to do and the whole reason willz was creating the guide is because he doesnt have the free time required to skin anymore so wanted to pass his knowledge on this means developement of the guide will always be slower than the developement of the skin developers who as they develope will continue to pst help threads for problems of ever increasing complexity.

just my opinion mind you but hey there you go.
