The only skins anyone can adopt are skins where the player is no longer a player and has not been a player for over a year. The option is to allow another skinner to take over and update it to meet the new specifications are to remove it entirely.
I do not like the idea of removing skins. If a skinner wants to adopt it and bring it up to spec, then that skinner is going to get credit for the work. they put into it.
Yes, the skinner who adopts the skin gets the same files they see now.
We will restrict skinners to only one adopted skin at a time. That is to say, until the adopted skin is complete, the skinner may not adopt another skin.
