Nathan - Well Open Live isn't meant for commercial use
so I think advertising a website counts as that. (Don't worry you guys can use it in the contest, that's not commercial
)
I don't blame everyone, I mean it's fair enough that people request skins when its like normal everyday people who want something done because they are a fan of something.
But seriously, asking for something that advertises your website that hosts a product you should at least pay them something (other than offering free advertising because there are people who don't have websites).
The guys weren't trying to be mean or anything its just that well when its stuff like this where you want something to promote a product you have to expect to pay. (if you try something like this on deviantart you would get no reply)
