I dont know what ambitions this page has.. If it is supposed to be a melee map comunity (wich actually would be something new) or if it is supposed to be an entirely complete database of all good maps ever made, or perhaps both? however, 1 thing that could be great fun, is to start doing this mapevents, like over on staredit.net. They gather once a week, playing all night through all their newly released ums's.. What if we tried to arrange a tourney played on our custom maps gathered here on regular basis? i believe that could perhaps raise interest in new maps, and sure as hell be alot fun.
Yeah why not? You have the rights to post news you could try to do something like this. But right now there is only half a dozen active users, half of them from europe...so having a meeting in B.net will probably fail if you do it yet.
Doing a mapcontest is something I would like to do also, I think some minimal scripting should be done for that though. It's on my TODO list, but not on top:)
im just forging the thought :) it cant be that hard to get response if you're really into it. since you got this page going excellently, there is definite possibillities!
Absolutely, but afaik most of the users post maps, but just a small part of them would play in a tournament. anyway, lets try to arrange some events like that, in the future!
That would be great if this site could hold map contest with tournaments where players would discover new interresting map. If you make a contest, be sure that we can only vote once per id or it will screw all the thing. :) Panschk, i think you are giving a new life to the melee map community because it's kind of dead on SEN's right now :)
Its good ideas, and it kinda were those i held to myself :P We need to have users first. look at the competition on TL.net, they have 1000nds of visiotors everyday and still its going slow.
We can't do a mapcontest ourself. I just don't know how to make a voting system that is not easy abusable.(even IPs are very easy to regenerate, cookies can be deleted...) I think it is either a mapcontest where a team of judges (like the admins of this page) make the decision, or the final polls must be on tl.net.
