Ditto. But Snarkpit will always hold a place in all of our hearts... Right?

tony will, his staff is on shakey ground.

I normally play CS with a bunch of the regulars from GA, and they're all really cool people. Nothing "shaky" about 'em. They're all great guys and, if you play with them, you'll realize that they really are in it for the love of the game. When you play with a group like that, you know you're going to have a fun time, regardless or who wins/loses, how spiffy the map is, whatever. I'm behind GA 100%.

I'm all behind any mapping website, there is no need for pointless hatreds or anything, the more the merrier :smile:

Sounds nice...

Ofcourse it will...

Global Assault was the only website I went on for mapping for ages, I've got CD's full of maps that I got of there. I hope they bring backt he amp rating system (1 to 10) cos that meant getting what I wanted was easy, and laughing at maps that got just 1!!!!

I don't think they should have been down for so long. why couldn't the old site have been left up while they redesigned the new one? I'd almost forgot they existed. :rolleyes:

Im not in for pointless hatreds either, I was just poking a bit of friendly fun at their changes :razz:

Taking it in a new direction can only be a good thing IMO, never really rated GA before...

I don't think they should have been down for so long. why couldn't the old site have been left up while they redesigned the new one? I'd almost forgot they existed.

I think, if I remember correctly, they simply couldn't continue running the old site with the traffic that it was pulling in/BW that they were using. I think... I'm often wrong though.

Well, people don't visit one website a day so there's no 'competition' going on- this site hardly pioneered the idea of user news, I nicked a lot of stuff off Mapfinger anyway :razz:

Well Global Assault was up for like 30 mins, i managed to post a message on the forum saying something like "Woo", none of the links worked, then it went down again. I have many fond memories of GA, hope its back up again soon. Not that i'm just hanging round Snarkpit waiting for it to return cos this site is sweet! But its always good to have another large HL mapping site to advertise ones maps on (or in my case, 1 map.) Just a shame when i posted my first map on GA it went down for an update 2 weeks later and has yet to return.

That link didn't work for me, it just brought me to a black page. This
one is fine though: http://www.globalassault.com/rut/home.cfm

The site looks pretty good, hopefully he'll get it all running smoothly considering all the effort he put in.

way to resurrect a thread that's over a year old, Ben!

I try my best. Well i just thought i might as well reply to this post than start a new thread and have the same conversation that everyone had a year ago.
