At the moment it is starting out small until more people become confident with the new direction that it’s going to take. The new Skinbook will be focused on health, exercise, leisure, environmentalism and family values.

No flame-wars, no inappropriate imagery, and most importantly, no undesirable moderators to mess people about.

Hope everybody has a wonderful Christmas.

It is with much regret that I have come to the decision to bring Skinbook to an end.

After all the effort (and money) we have put into saving the Skinbook network; the complaining, negativity, abuse and general lack of support we have recieved from our users has been quite frankly, disgusting… I am no longer prepared to provide the Skinbook network to any members past or present.

As much as we have attempted over the past couple of years to bring together the naturist community and give the naturist lifestyle a positive public image, the treatment of my team here at Skinbook has finally made it clear (to myself at least) why this lifestyle is both fragmented from within and ostracized from without. What you take this to mean is up to you to speculate individually. For me this revelation doesn’t require an explination, it requires merely a reaction; my reaction being that from now on I see fit only to completely distance myself from this lifestyle (from both a philosophical and physical stand point) and most certainly from ANY medium which serves to promote it.

Good luck in your quests to find unity within your chosen lifestyle… you need it!
