After a few days of no posts, along comes this topic, which I post once in, and don't see it for a few hours, and BAM!, everyone's talking again.
It's clear, magicbay, that you aren't familiar with the mapmaking process, which is fine, but as Revned said, I don't think anyone here was truly picking on you. Certainly not to the extent that you should have to be offended. At least I don't see it that way (unless I missed something). You know how that's kind of a problem with written communication; you can't tell the intended tone. But I believe the regulars here aren't malicious.
Revned's suggestion to abolish the Map Requests section is noted; however, I feel that people will make requests anyway, so a Map Requests section would at least keep them in one place, and therefore mappers who don't do requests wouldn't have to look at the topics. Unless you guys think the mere existence of a Map Requests board is encouraging the requests? Technically I could remove this board right now without waiting for the forum revamp (where is bustin, anyway?) but then I should move some of the not-that-unreasonable request topics somewhere...
(In any case, thanks for reminding me that I should get in touch with bustin soon.)
It's good that DarkWolf fulfilled your previous requests (the Blake Stone games and Spear Of Destiny), but as I had hoped I mentioned, to not get spoiled, as requests aren't often fulfilled as quickly. I think DarkWolf had enough inkling to do those games eventually anyway, but that doesn't mean that every game you need maps for will be greeted with as much enthusiasm.
But I will close this topic as per magicbay's request, and we will discuss the future of the Map Requests board in a new topic.
