From the Editor :

Well, here we are at issue #3 and growing like a weed. We are so happy to have so many new contributors. Please take the time to read the interviews with our new staff members, Gamma and Hippy...

We are also honored to have contributions from MadIce and Clasqm. Like Ma always said, "The more the merrier."

We are also pleased to have opened our own messageboards. This was a hard decision to make, but in the end, we hope you will enjoy the kind of communication a messageboard allows. Please feel free to send a letter to the editor, if you like, but the "Mailbag" page has been discontinued. If there is a really good letter, I will answer it here.

The world of skinning continues to grow unabated, and we hope to try and keep up with it. The past months have shown a marked growth in the development of Suites, and a new (and hopefully permenent) interest in working in "clans". Look for our coverage of this trend in future issues..

It is also nice to see more general interest in journalizing the experience, and those who partake of it. It is good to see new e-zines like PixelEffect coming along, and good to see interviews popping up on sites everywhere. This is encouraging, and we are glad to be a part of it.

Finally, as editor here, I must express my deepest gratitude to Treetog for his Teknidermy Skin Suite. It is a beautiful piece of art, one that we will all treasure. Thanks Renato! We are honored.

All of us here on the staff hope you enjoy this issue, and we hope you'll visit us again for ish#4.

Until then, keep yer skin on....
