The dedicated skinning channels that existed before have been dead for a while due to lack of skinners on IRC.

If you require any live help, it is recommended that you go to the Messenger Plus! help channel (#msgplus) on the MsgPlus IRC Server. Of course, if you don't have a question yourself, but are willing to help others, you can join the channel as well.

Server: irc.msgplus.net (port 6667)
Channel: #msgplus
Direct Link for mIRC

You can use mIRC or any other client of your choice to join the channel. If you don't have such a client, you can join using the webchat: just follow the instructions on the screen and choose to Enter support chat room.

For help on how to join the server, you can refer to sock's post containing IRC details.

Some quick rules and guidelines for the channel:

• We are not your slaves, so if you're impatient, we won't help you at all.
  
• If you're rude to us, not only will we not help you, but you'll probably get kicked from the channel.
  
• We are not a support channel for skins that you are installing/removing or having trouble with. We help you make the skins, and nothing else.
  
• We are not a support channel for anything that has no relation to skins. Go to the proper channels for that.
  
• We can not help if you don't tell us your problem. Using http://pastebin.com is recommended.
