Sure the front page of WinCustomize is dominated by folks like myself, Frogboy and Island Dog, but there's a whole world behind the curtain that's filled with activity and discussion.  Unless you were watching the Recent Forum Activity box like a hawk, there's a chance you might have missed out on some of the most popular discussion topics currently going in our forums.  Here are a few I picked out as being some of the most popular discussions from the last few days:

• female skinners
  Are female skinners under-represented in the community?  Are they given fair treatment?  kittymalone kicks off a great discussion on gender and the community.
• Did you know?
  Pssst... Jafo had a birthday this week...
• Evolution of a Masterskin...Slider XP
  This is an ongoing thread started by I. R. Brainiac showing off how his latest skin, intended to be sold as a Master Skin on WinCustomize, evolves from a concept to a finished product.
• What are you "working" on?
  A never-ending thread where you can share what you're currently working on.  Have a WindowBlinds skin, icon set, or wallpaper in the works you want to talk about or get feedback on?  Then this is the thread for you.
• SoundPackager 0.9.0.0 BETA Feedback
  We recently made the beta for SoundPackager available to ObjectDesktop subscribers.  This thread is for feedback on the app.  Have a bug?  A feature request?  General feedback on how the tool handles?  Post it here.
