The first and mostly second game in the Thief franchise (Dark Project and The Metal Age) have a lot of custom-made levels, also called "Fan Missions" made by the community, including myself.

However many of these were hosted on sites that no longer exist. To this day I still see many websites hosting Thief levels come and go. This makes it harder than ever to find them. It would be nice to have (almost) all levels available in one place, so I immediately thought of the Snarkpit.

However I'm well aware that most of the pit is centered around Half-Life games and the like, so I'm not sure if this is something we would want.

That being said, I don't see why the Snarkpit shouldn't expand to a wider audience, especially in the age where Discord and Reddit are taking over most online forums.

I'm open to hearing what anyone thinks of this and if this gets the green light, I would totally be up to the task of getting this sorted! I believe I still have a .zip file somewhere that was made by a community member on the ttlg forums (the place to go for anything Thief related) containing the majority of these levels.

Off topic: Hope everyone is doing well! It's been many years since I posted anything here and I'm really glad the website is online once again! (Thanks guys!)

Edit: Just to clarify, I'm specifically asking if we can get the classic Thief games as a category in the Maps section on this website
