Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a Realeases subforum like in the MSA forums? It would help keeping track of all the released maps, cause as it stands most of the maps that are released a few days/weeks back get lost...

I agree, as I for one do not have a lot of time to search many different websites for one particular map.

i would also like to see the released maps go in a subforum, maybe have a preview subforum as well =O\

Definatly needed, if you arent on for a day or so, you might never be aware a map was released..

agreed...

people here are notorious for not posting in the right forum.

Think back to the Q/A forum that for some reason was never used when people had questions.

But I have to blame the moderation or lack thereof should I say. No one ever made sure people were posting in the right area.

That kinda makes me a bit critical of making a new sub forum here

If these forums need a new moderator, I'm all for it. Moving threads here and there is no big deal, I've been doing it for many years on VB boards no less.

Our tutorial subforum hasn't seen action for months, couldn't we just convert that?

It's working pretty well in the MSA forum, I can't see why it wouldn't work here. Besides, it's mostly server-league admins, mappers and a few dod enthousiasts that look for custom map downloads. Not like you have your average player coming and posting over here. I think it could be pretty much self-regulated.

By the way, is there any forum mod around here to read this thread?

Mapping was kinda slow before Source, so sub-forums weren't really needed, everything could be handled quite well from the main forum, but since Source was released, mapping has gotten new life and a lot of maps were already released or announced, so I think the sub-forums would be really useful now.

I'm with Furyo. If the forum needs a new mod, I'd be totally up for the job.

These threads are everywhere, it needs more organization. Most people would only look at the first page (*MAYBE* the second page) and think "oh, that's it?" when theres LOTS of other good threads containing previews, releases, etc.

The sub-forums could work if there were stickies at the top of the main mapping forum directing posters to the sub-forums.

If there were more forum mods (at least *only* modding the Mapping sub-/forums if it not be all) that would clean up the place, keep the peace, and maybe even interacted with the mappers/posters in the threads, it may be just a friendlier place for all...
...AND people may have an easier time finding what they're looking for.
