Kman, also known as chawk, has recently announced that all of his skins will be converted to IPB 3.x, Vbulletin 3.x/4.x, and phpBB 3.x. This is a shocking announcement considering the lack of announcements and updates Kman has left since the closing of his past forum known as Big Game Styles. Kman's skins were very popular back in 2004 when Kman first released his skins at the InvisionFree Skin Zone, now known as Zathyus Network Resources, and have been popular with forum ever since. With this new announcement you can expect to see his skins once again grace our screens.

12/23/09

CSkins Announcement - Kman stated in his topic that you will be able to find his skins converted starting in early to mid 2010. The final approximate date being around the end of June gives us plenty of time to wonder about how amazing these conversions will turn out. Kman also states that most of the credit should be given to an old member known as Hauzer who will be converting every skin found here. Until then you can still use all the skins on InvisionFree and IPB 1.3 software. The full announcement can be found quoted below or by visiting the link above.

Quote:

A large applause should go to Hauzer, who has been working on converting the skins you see here to other forum software. These skins are currently available for IPB 1.3x, and were also available for vBulletin 3.x a few years ago but were discontinued on that software for a while.

However, now they're coming back ... and not just for IPB 1.3x and vBulletin 3.x! We will soon have a multitude of skins available for vBulletin 3.x/4.x, IPB 3.x and phpBB 3.x, in addition to the default stock we already have for IPB 1.3x! No longer will these skins be restricted to the IPB 1.3x bubble.

So when can you expect these skins to be released? We plan to have them ready sometime early-to-mid 2010 -- with the final approximate date being the beginning of June. We currently plan to release everything [that we initially had planned] via a single release, instead of releasing in installments. Keep in mind that converting the skins is not the only task we are focusing on -- among other things, there is also a new website in the works that will act as the host for the converted skins. There are also several variables that can affect the time we release our skins here, including the number and nature of software updates in the software that we are converting for (for example, if IPB makes a major update, we may have to re-convert everything we have for IPB to the new software version, and as many of you are aware, skinning for IPB 3.x can take a while).

Stay tuned for more info and updates! Contact me via Private Messaging if you have any questions. Enjoy your holidays! And don't forget to get the word out about our skins.

That's freaking pimp. Hopefully it'll be free, but I don't think I'd mind paying for some of those skins to support his work

I wonder if this means he might come back and start making some new things or just convert what was already done. The latter sounds more realistic but it'd be nice to see him design more.

Awesome! I'm glad to see he hasn't "completely" disappeared.
You know what amazes me the most? His skins are almost what? 4 years old? And they all look like they were made just yesterday.
