You seem like a nice guy, I'll fire it up and host some images for you.

"No pic No click"
You will just have to take my word for it when I say, people like it 
5 Servers are hosting it I have seen. My next map/version I will include screenshootsGreat so that means you're getting all the feedback you need. No need for us to bother?
Sorry... but that's just what goes through my head when I hear that. I'll probably give it a whirl this afternoon sometime.
Thank You....
I tried again this morning and took screens with the jpeg quality to 60 and its still bringing me to a white page when it seems like its working, but is not.
But I put a lot of time into this map and I think some of
you will enjoy the design for what it is even though it dose not have a
theme. My next map will be based on a paintball filed.Posted by DrGlass on Fri Jul 22nd 2005 at 2:30am
set your jpeg_quality to 60 in game so you dont have to do anything to them, they will be saved compressed!
There is a site problem thread in the general banter forum if you have problems too.

When you are uploading screenshots, make sure they aren't too large in file size. Use a program such as photoshop or paint shop pro (or worst case scenario, microsoft paint) to save them as jpgs, and keep the file size below 100k (perfectly possible while still retaining quality). Sorry to force loads of limitations on you and whatnot, but most of us have been here a while and have grown fed up of no screenshot maps, or maps with 500k pictures posted up. Its in your favour to "pander to the masses" when it comes to websites like this - the easier you make it for people to comment on your level, the more comments you will recieve. Don't worry about overlooking features of the website from the off - we realise its a fairly large and daunting place with more to offer than most places, so its only natural not to notice some things the first time around
My mistake, I have not slept more than 7 hours in the last 3 days so I'm a little out of it to say the least....lol
EDIT: Well I tried a couple times now to update and add the screen's but It seemed to be working them brings me to a white page, I'll try again later, no telling weter it will work then or not. Also this map dose support 13 players without lag. Ran very smooth with 13 but have not seen higher yet. and it dose not crash anyone out from what I have seen so far.

Oh yeah we have people who troll this site regularly looking for material to steal. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">
As for posting screens, thats what those big blank spots in the upload page said that you didn't read. " SRC="images/smiles/heee.gif">
Fair enough.. I had no idea the site allowed you to upload pics, would have been nice if someone had told me sooner. The reson I said I dont want to add screenshoots this time is cause I thought I would have to send them to someone to put on thier webspace, and I'm sure he is busy with other stuff. and as for the "when will you people learn" comment from orpheus, Its my first time here man, and my first map! Its not like I'm a regular to these forums, I just download the maps this site has to offer. Did not realize you guys stick to such a strick pollocy of map downloads here
I will look into adding some sceenshoots shortly...

No insult to this author. I am sure that he is smart enough to understand that when I say "People have told us 1,000's of times that their map is this or that, we are gun shy. The bigger the boast, the less interesting it sounds'
Sorry if thats not exactly what you wanted to hear but there you are. We do not fault your reasons for NOT posting screens at this time. What we are doing however is informing you that IF you want our input, we are more apt to comply if you cater to OUR wants.
We have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain. Snarkpits record for taking a mapper to new levels of excellence is unparalleled.
I found out recently that that comment may sound "pretentious"
Cool word really. Doesn't fit Snarkpit, but I am definitely going to remember it.

Agreed.
What if Ford went to a client with no pictures of their new car, all they said is "buy it now, lots of people drive it, its already out in two states!"
It is your problem to make us want to play this map, I would download it, but becuase you dont even take the time to post 3 screen shots (this site even lets you upload pictures!!) how can I or anyone trust that you didn't put the same effort into your map?
If alot of people play something, that doesn't say anything. Filter killbox next time you play hl2... there are lots of people out there who dont know what a good map really is. Here on snarkpit we tend to grade you on the craftsmenship of your map, not how it plays.
So find 3 areas of your map, press F5 and take 4 minutes to give us some content.
