Lifted. But be cautious when making transactions.

All I could make out from that sentence was "Minecraft" and a muted brass instrument

I'm no longer the Hobo King according to the user title thing, so I guess I'm done moderating here forever.

Edit: Nevermind, life is worth living again.

I'm still cleaning up after the last one:

Yeah, hurricanes are a big deal to us Floridians. (Admittedly, all we're getting from sandy is a few fronts that bring our temperature ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FIFTIES (at night)).

Actually, its going up the East Coast, which, assuming you're not Australian, means that it is also going north. Washington is on the west coast so its pretty safe.

Edit: omni is right in the path. But he probably deserved it.

As a Washingtonian (State, not D.C) I'm unaffected. My aunt's house got some damage though, but she's okay.

First of all, Star Wars 7 is happening without George Lucas, which might be a good thing. However, if it's based on the books or comics or whatever, it will slightly taint a good series

I heard and went "OH GOD WHY"

Unless they abandoned the Star Wars Extended Universe entirely which I don't think anyone would be too sad about

I was startled to see Reep and Colossal with yellow names. Judges, huh. Will they retain their colors when the contest is finished?

Maybe, prolly not.

I will institute a new rank, though of "Reviewers" - that is, qualified people who will be posting reviews on all maps, regardless of contest-entrance. The reviews will be available on the same page where you download the map.

...or do it in such a way to preserve maximum awesomeness.

Also, 2 disqualifications on the contest already? (don't ask how I know)

It was supposed to be a custom content contest. You have to have custom content to qualify.

Colossal told you...

Also, I was expecting much more from this contest... a little disappointing actually

First time, I have to agree with MSleeper.

Contests are cool, but it needs to have either an amazing prize, or an amazing web layout for the activity to skyrocket.

For prize, we've got a signed poster. a very decent prize indeed, but a website launcher, not so much.
For website, well, lemme put it this way. I have the forum bookmarked. not the website.

I was talking about the quality, not the quantity...
Or maybe I just don't like custom content that much

I assume that if I was one such disqualification I would have been notified? I know that I did include custom content, so I don't think I would have been disqualified but now I'm worried.

You weren't, don't worry.

The contest did one thing, it got people to get up and map. I was not expecting a storm of maps, but enough to fill up the front page. Even the maps that did not have new custom content are still awesome maps to have on our database.I see this contest as a success, we got more then one map, We have at least one of each type (One Portal 1 map, One Portal 2 SP, and One Portal 2 Co-op) Just because not all of them have the requirements to win the poster, they are all winners to have on our database in the end. I was only able to play a few so far as I was having issues with the data base. Besides one so far, although the quality was missing, they were still awesome puzzles that had me thinking, but not to a point of rage quitting.

And no, We will not reupload other people's work. . . Ever.

I also see myApertureInnovations to be more about us (The people here) then the mapping, custom content or anything else. We all join the chatroom on Saturdays, we play Minecraft, TF2, L4D, Portal 2 together and we all know and get along here. This forum is more about expanding this 'friendship' we all share to more people and the love we have for Portal, Source mapping and making custom content.
