why has this thread become an argument about Hint/Skip brushes vs. Areaportals?
I'm not debating that areaportals do split up visleaves. My argument is that, anyone who uses them for that reason instead of using a hint brush is a big retard and needs to read why you should use areaportals.

Because I'm why we can't have nice things.
Then why are we arguing? I know better than to make that amateur mistake...lets get Mek!
what what what? 
I know what areaportals are and how to use them, the only reason they didn't work was because I was having leaks in my map.
Okay, imho the thread is closed now, I think the arguments about hint/skip/areaportal/whatever brushes belong to a new topic 
(percentage calculation sphere self-test failed!)
108.1% done, -8.1% remaining...
Released here!
All maps for Portal (1/2) worth playing are mirrored here.
Nice hijack :p
Hint/Skip brushes - split visleaf at thier location. It's the only thing they do.
Areaportals - split visleaf at their location and can also be turned on/off to hide everything behind them.
Appears to me that areaportals do everything a hint/skip brush does along with extras. That makes them pretty alike in my opinion.
Hint's do not render based on a view cone, which areaportals do. Therefore areaportals are better. Open up a TF2 map, and see the magic.
True, this is probably the biggest advantage of areaportals if they are always open.
