Please check this and let me know what you think about it:
***link deleted***
I started a website containing informations and small images about custom maps (only the Abridon city information is finish yet).
But with so custom many maps out yet it´s a long way to go to finish the website so i would know if such a website would be interested and help BF users.

Well if you ask me i would vote for "Yes, but it should be at Gametoast.com along with the map reviews" but it isn´t me who run Gametoast :wink: hint

PS: Whatever the outcome of the voting will be i havn´t decided yet to make it or not.

Well, it LOOKS good :wink: but I vote fr the Yes, but it should be at Gametoast.com along with the map reviews - I'd bet, that ShadowHawk (Sdwhwk) would LOVE to have some help with the reviews :wink: talk with him about it, and of course also with Guru :)

Very nice, easy to navigate, screen shoots, description. Kool!

If you decide to continue, can you make download links to gametoast or whereever the map is homehosted.

were actually working on a screenshots and review mod for the downloads area, shadowhawk is almost 100% busy with his schooling so yeah reviews arent as common as they should be, but in short , once i get the downloads area upped, its got reviewswith pics for each map/mod.


Nice job rends! looks great.

Nice to here that Guru. so there won´t be any need for another website. I won´t go on this one then.
2 Things i want to mention. First the review(s) arn´t easy to found. The small sunglass isn´t easy to see . I suggest to make a "review" text button. Second i guess every modder could create some screenies about their maps. Simple post some rules about size and format and you will get screenies you can post regardless if they are reviewed yet or not.

I find screen-shots and descriptions more "effective" than usual GameToast's informations...

I'm curious about how mods will be added. Will we have to submit our own pictures and info, or will you take screens and write the review yourself?

new submit guidlines will be posted and modders will submit the files with screenshots and info , reviews will be made by shadowhawk and myself , when i can. If modders cant get screenshots , it will take longer to post maps/mods but they will be posted with reviews and everything, just delayed.

The author himself can include screen-shots and his own description of his mods, but these elements can not be added by a "third person", because it would go against the property and the rights of the author...

Yes, that's undestandable... Sometimes, images are better than a "repulsive" text...
