For old skins and bounties, easiest thing would probably be to add 
the coins that the character received to current total fur or bounty 
and one's share of each.  It will distort the percentage of the total 
one received a little, but its not as bad as if nothing was added to 
the total skin and over time that number will become fairly 
insignificant in relation to the newer skins.

Also, I think the money from skins should be separate from bounties. 
Then they can be listed separately and totaled for the user to see. 
It'll give a bit more feed back as to where a person's funds are 
coming from.  Could also list chests separately as a third item.

Here's the lines for skins and bounties from May 1999 incase you 
don't have them:

5/24/99 4:55:11p Your share in the Hooded Corpse's bounty is 1 coin.
5/24/99 4:23:20p Your share in the Young Rockodile's scales is 1 coin.
5/24/99 4:29:46p Your share in the Feral's fur is 2 coins.


Cutting those messages, I also noticed that actions were different 
back then if we ever put in a talk parser like scribus has.  they 
looked like this then:

5/24/99 5:10:00p \Action: Wrath lags.
