Wow, thanks so much! The compliment is very much appreciated.

What you said is so true, and I never heard about the original skullies being removed for that reason. I was looking at the AJ Wiki right after I posted this, and it had screenshots of AJHQ's posts on the Daily Explorer about headdresses being removed. One of the screenshots said, "I believe they were removed for cultural respect". Then another said, "We removed them because we were asked to. Those Jammers who currently have them are ok to have them.". And then the final, "We will not return items that are unavailable in game. This means that we will not headdresses, horse coins, or other rare items that have been removed from availability/purchase but may still be actively traded by players.".

You've gotta be kidding me. If not many people cared for them, and people ASKED for them to be removed, then why are they still in the game? Not to mention, it's like you said before - it's disrespectful that they didn't remove them, and that they called them 'rare items' in the very last quote, in a way encouraging the item to be kept in the game. My guess is that they were somewhat upset about removing them in the first place.
