Er, right, you being an executive and world-wide-internet-guru explains why you're wasting your time on my piss-poor website, and why you failed to notice that at the end of the day this is built around a hobby whose only link with money goes so far as the yearly hosting bill- maps are not a market. And why your website has a ridiculously long list on the right of books, that no-one in their right mind would read in that format. If you people paid me to do this then I'd quit, form a dedicated team and show you real information architecture...

Feel free to give me some helpful criticism though, rather than saying this site should be more like an online magazine and have a whole editorial team working to ensure the masses have access to the hottest new maps. We offer tutorials and the ability to show off your level, and it would be nice to link the whole process together, but without the manpower to organise it all it's not really feasible.

And you want to know why there's "no traffic" in here? It's because most people, like yourself, just turn up and expect fawning praise, without helping other people with their maps. Without a link built into the SDK directing people here, the volume of passers-by simply isn't enough to ensure that there is a large, core group of selfless/map hungry individuals. VERC is only more helpful for that one reason. Why not go help out with the other CS maps here, such as cs_assault_sg, instead of complaining that the community isn't dying to help you out?

On the one hand, I am astounded with your arrogance (and nonsense about 'cannons'), but on the other a bit miffed at the unhelpfulness so far shown in this post. But without charging people $10/year for memberships, that's what you should expect.

As for your map- I, like many others here, don't play CS, though from the screenshots it looks decent, though nothing new or amazing. Nice skybox!

I returned an insult in response to insulting sarcasm, perhaps it was too subtle or complex, and the meaning lost or missed. But bad manners need repercussions. It's just one's moral duty to society. There is far too much talk here about incompetence elsewhere, when those other realms have both competence and civility. Arrogance is a useful trait at times. It is not always unwarranted. But my cast at arrogance is merely the presentation of a mirror. And a justified one, I think.

That's what happens when you don't use enough smilies on the internet Anyway, back the map...
