Check your custom skin size!

There are some good skins in there, but those that are just totally out of reality (Bright red spitfires?) are freakin retarded.

I bet that's an online cheat. That's why Ilya wants to see them.

Now if the player names were stored with the downloaded skins....

Wha?
I don't follow, how do you mean a cheat?

It's the "invoke spirit of manfred" hack. Simply colour your mount bright red and your bullets do 10x damage...

Presumably adorning yourself with a 4096x4096 skin will give any opponent just that little extra bit of lag when they get you in their sights. Just enough for you to get away....

Im not tried yet, but it is possible? The official skins is 2048x2048 jpg, the program allowed to use bigger pictures?

My skin was 1.5 MB too, now is 150k. If you are using photoshop, save the jpg with this: File menu \ Save for web & devices" submenu. Here you can easily adjust the compress rate (even 50% is good), you can see the results real time, and you can see the size of the jpg in the bottom left corner.
