[AO3-7030] - When we introduced Archive skins, we envisioned a system where users could create custom CSS to change the appearance of AO3, and then apply to make the code available to other users with a button click. [...] we've been working on phasing it out. Now only official accounts, e.g. those belonging to the AO3 development team, can apply to have their skin reviewed for general usage. [...]
I'm quite sad about this. I was hoping for more premade skins without having to search the web for it, not for you to disallow new skins to be added by regualer users. I hope that at least the ones already available are going to stay, no matter who contributed them. Some of the ones that were available at the time were incredibly hepful to create my own site skin(s) and I wouldn't have managed to do that without the infomation and examples they povided.
That being said, thank you all for your hard work on maintaining and improving the site! 💕
