Moving mapcore along...

    A thought acured to me (i've thought of this before), but even more so now. I think it would be great to do something with the mapcore site besides forums.

    - Purhaps reviews of mods and games.

    - Downloadable maps from the mapcore community and reviews on those by say 4 respectable people who can make a educated opinion.

    - Maybe a decent help center and tut center to help out people, the only problem is that it attracts nubs.

    Just an idea, I wouldn't mind putting some time into it. Besides there's loads of people who know how to design websites well, and I know a little. And art I doubt would be a problem. Think if it as a forum filter, all the best stuff becomes available on the main page.

    Last time this happened, power struggles happened, people became jackasses and it just did not work.

    What you suggest has happened twice already: First when Mapcore originally started (that was the whole idea behind) and Secondly a year or two later. The first ideration of Mapcore lasted a good 4-5 months before inevitably crumbling and falling apart. The Second Coming of Mapcore just fall on its face when the Starting Gun Fired and was never able to get back on its feet. That is why we just have the Channel and until recently these forums.

    I hardly see people helping when I have been in the channel. I know there a few people that try to help, but I can recount numberous times when someone asking a question is called a "fag0ty n00b" or is pointed into the Direction of Goatse instead of helpful tutorials.

    A lot of the tutorials we would have on this site would have already been covered on numberous other sites (BeyondUnreal for Unreal and Loads of other HL sites for Half-Life).

    Its a good idea, but in the long run it would never work since people are lazy.

    you know when people say "we dont map in mapcore" its not a joke ~~

    EDIT: its all urbans fault, he shows no loving emotion to other human beings

    i need to use that time machine for evil... maybe go back in time and bet on some sports or something...

    can i have a ride in ur time machine? i wanna go see gangsters and the mafia and stuff in like the 30s..they had the pimpest cars and everyone wore suits..so much class

    fuck noobs, why the hell would we want them hanging out with us. they'll ask us stupid questions like how to compile or what a brush is.

    Although I like the idea of doing more with "mapcore", a site would probably result in a dramatic increase of moronic people breaking our cycle of selected mapcorians, so better not...

    We could still use the site for something interesting though, like integrating it with those IRC stats certain bods (hinkey) run and such. You know, base the site off the channel instead of vice-versa.

    Wasn't that mapcore.com Mojo? The failed one. Yeah, agreed, people in mapcore are too headstrong. But I don't see anything wrong with releasing maps from our community. If you keep it minimalistic, not much can go wrong. Small steps, rather than trying to do a massive big picture.

    And Frie, that's what I also worry about, that would suck ass. As it is there are alot of "mapcorians" that say and do jack. There's really only a select few people that actually are part of the group in my opinion. Those people know who they are.
