Personal Skins:

A personal skin is a skin that the author has created to be a representation of himself. It is basically the author’s hallmark, and is intended only for the author’s own use. It is common courtesy that other players should NOT use the author’s personal skin themselves. So why bother to download it then?

You need the skin in order to see the author when you are deathmatching him. That’s why. 

To preview a skin, move the cursor over the skin’s preview button   until it glows , then click on it to open the preview window. 

	The skin includes a new statis bar face.
-	The skin includes new player sounds.
	Includes graphics for an exploding death (Not just a repeat of the regular death).
