Hey,
My name's Joe I used to be a part of the mapcore community on irc years and years ago. I used the name SuperSlacker then. I recognize some names on here going way back to the OG days haha. I actually coded a version of the Mapwars site back then too. I don't remember if we ever used it or not. I'm trying to look through some of my old back-up CDs to find it, because I believe it was almost fully functional with several stages throughout a contest and complete with file uploading and downloading.
So what brings me here is my friend asked me about a Counter-Strike map I made, and if I remember right it was the first full map I ever created. He recently decided to set-up a CS server and wanted some of my old stuff. Almost forgetting I had ever even touched level design I searched my archive hard drives and found a lot of my files, screen shots, compile tools, etc. As I look through it all I'm amazed at some of the things I did in High School. It feels as though it's the work of someone else. I found a TON of our maps from early Mapwars contests and others we played for fun in good ol' #mapcore.
This leaves me wondering if anyone else has some old relics laying around? Especially de_decrepit by SuperSlacker if they happen to have it haha.
P.S. - It looks like everyone else has made leaps and bounds from where they were years ago so congrats on all of your achievements!

and a bunch of random maps made by various people in the community. It was an interesting tid bit I will say to go back and look at some of this stuff.
Welcome back.
