I don't think they should be rotated.  I think the best ones should be picked and stuck with, until a better one is created, so long as diversity is maintained.

I agree with Karnak in this one. High quality skins should be kept and the crap ones need to be removed. There are so many beautiful skins that have been created but will never see the light of day because of the current skins rotation setting. The AH community is missing out on one of the most unique aspects of AH, and that is beautiful skins. It is a loss for the AH community because of this skins rotation setup. Something must be done. HTC won't do anything unless the community demands it. Or if someone comes up with some clever idea on how to rotate skins.

not sure what exactly are the standards to decide which skins are crappy and which ones are not.

Look in the skins forum.  Citabria posted some pretty good examples.

Yes, there are times it would be hard to tell and highly subjective, but there are other times it is obvious.

Compare this:

And hence lies the problem, although I agree with ack-ack. I like, and use, some of the "crappy" skins Citabria posted.

I see your point karnak but I much would rather see the no color skin on my plane that a bright green/red tail to make an easier target.  the lighting bolts are pretty cool for me.  the bright colors make some nice pictures, and that's all the pretty i see about it.

Like i said which skins are pretty is very subjective.  the pink spit9 skin is my favorite, you see a pink spit flying around, that's me.  how many of you do you like it?

The silver 479th P-38J skin is actually a rather recent addition and Obie was nice enough to update the other 479th skin "Little Edris" recently as well.  As they are fairly recent additions and very nice looking skins, I would hate to see them go.
