I believe his idolization is not based on skill (I am an average player at best), but rather awesomeness (which I have leaking from every orifice in abundance!).

Back on topic... VERY IMPORTANT that you liberally include the use of thumbnails in the search function for maps. Many people do not remember maps by name... if you see the evenflow flagroom, you probably know what map it is even if you do not remember the name.

Every map should have several pictures so that players may get a good idea of what it looks like, and top-down overviews of the map are a must.

Cross-version map linking would be good... if you are looking up ff_well, you should also see well from TFC. Hell, may as well add all similar maps, such as xmaswell etc.

Would be cool to include league data, like which maps are used in which leagues and in which seasons. You could probably scrape the data straight offa the league sites without much difficulty.

And of course, MOST IMPORTANTLY, there ought to be a good amount of data on the creator of the map if you can find it. Mapper's name, gamer handle, and a point of contact (such as an e-mail address). Would be cool if the forums (I presume you are going to have forums) would do things like link up your STEAM ID (like [o-t]'s forums) and also allow you to PM mappers who have signed up to the forums from a map's page.

lots of FF team members and community mappers have written tutorials and made maps on the snarkpit www.snarkpit.net and you could find 'em on there and ask 'em to copy the tutorials for here. I wrote one on displacement domes.

/woot?

imbrifer those are all really good ideas, but im a noob coder my knowledge really does not go far past HTML and CSS unfortunaly. although people have offered a hand. if things go the way the community wants this to go, this will have to be a team project, I cannot simply piece this together by myself with my minimal amount of knowledge.

but ill try

Heh. Defrag said otherwise few years back when I hanged around there and wondered why everyone is idling.
Month back when I took a sneakpeak there I heard that quakenet has got the ball now.
I wonder what happened.

Layout

First I would suggest you learn to use CSS for your layouts. It will be more tricky to learn but in the end it will be more optimized and will load faster. I would also change the links at the top, they are a bit hard to read ATM. Just send me an IM (SN: mclafflin) if you would like help.

Once again, I would like to reiterate that you ought to include TFC in the site along with FF and TF2... split your site three ways instead of two. FF and TFC will be pulling in most of your traffic at the start of things because, well, how much stuff will there be for one to download for TF2 when it comes out?
