BigPappa was kind enough to help me get copies of all the skins he has squirreled away on his HD and I spent a few days browsing through and selecting the ones that, I thought, were the best. I have had it hosted at tJY (http://the-junkyard.net) for a while now, but I forgot to announce it here and I spent a few extra days figuring out how to convert the files to .vl2 so they could be put straight into the game. File size is 83MB and it can be DL'ed here (http://the-junkyard.net/files-tribes2.php?action=listfi les&category=9). I plan to eventually get each file up individually, though I'm in no hurry.
BTW, if you can remember a skinset's name and it isn't in that pack, chances are good that either myself or BigPappa has a copy. Our emails are in the link to the DL.

You rock for doing this. :)
EDIT: is that the real download numbers already on those skins?

You mean the #'s displayed by Downloaded:? Yes, all of those numbers are accurate. The thing that messes up the count is if somone clicked on the link, but didn't finish the DL. That happens very rarely. The only other thing that can skew the numbers is if any of the staff decide to manually edit the numbers. It's easy to do, but we've never had a reason and so far as I know they've been altered...though I did suspect it once :)
If you'll look at the 2845 fanfic gallery (http://the-junkyard.net/articles.php?action=lista rticles&category=7) you'll notice that most of the stories have only been viewed a few hundred times at most. However, Beastiality (http://the-junkyard.net/articles.php?action=viewa rticle&id=211) has been viewed close to 10,000 times. At first I thought somone on staff had altered the numbers or that I had messed up. Turns out a bunch of pervs had been googling "beastiality" and that's where they ended up :D

Lol.
Many thanks, Maedhros. I only wish this had been done earlier. :(

*Looks at DL* Wow, I'm surprised people managed to overload our bandwidth. The month is almost up so you should be good, but if it becomes a problem again I'll either email Mhaddy and have him increase the bandwidth or I'll put up a mirror at the Mechnexus. (http://www.mechnexus)
