Now i realize that msleeper runs the whole show but...
I'm just thinking, to get more people on the forum would be a good idea, even though it's a pretty active forum, it would never hurt to have more people on.
If we all agree, we could have a separate thread group for maps not related to Portal as well as custom tutorials on mapping, this would also stop all the people asking how to create a level for a mod related to half-life or something.
Yeah, I don't see how adding mapping sections to the forum could possibly hurt. I mean, most people who map for portal also dabble in mapping for TF2, or whatever.
Guys, I disagree. In a perfect world, sure, more is more. But on a practical level... Do we really want different factions competing for members' attention? And it adds a lot of complexity to the download database (which msleeper and f0rkz and Hober would have to do, I guess) without really offering any new capabilities.
Plus let's face it, if you want to make HL2 maps, there are half a dozen established communities to join. Why would it even occur to you to come to a Portal-specific board?

We could always keep the half-life 2 forum low and simple and not allow half-life 2 maps to be added to the database or something like that.
QFT?
QFT means "Quoted for truth". In this context, it's an expression saying "this is all true."
As for trying to do the job of the rest of the HL2 mapping community, I agree with Paul. What could we offer that would be better than a hyperlink to Interlopers, or one o the other HL2 mapping sites?
I thought you were refering to the "Quit fucking talking" meaning of it.
Damn things meaning different things.
Not sure why this got moved to the Staff forums.
Anyway though, the reason I setup this site was to be specific to Portal and, as Hober said, not try to do the job of other, better, older sites and cater to Source mapping as a whole. I'm not opposed to people posting threads/screens/download links to TF2 maps they have made like I know Shmitz is mapping, or any other Source mod, but I don't want to make a whole seperate forum for it. The General and/or Off Topic forums are suitable.
Please do not Private Message me for assistance. Post a thread if you have questions or concerns.
If you need to contact the staff privately, contact the Global Moderators via Discord.
I would rather see current features of the site get more attention.
Map reviews hardly exist at this point and I'm pretty sure Accident Prone has been the sites featured map since forever.
If another forum were to be added, it would be nice to see one dedicated to helping people with their mapping problems since right now those threads seem to be scattered all over.
Oh, touch?. I was meaning to write some reviews, but then I got sidetracked by the whole topology thing, and now my music blog. I'll get to it, I promise! I will write some kick-ass reviews. Like soon.
