Well, the site's starting to take off, and while it's probably unnecessarily early for this, I'm appointing some moderators. I just went through some of our more prolific and notable contributors and have given them moderator access. It doesn't really matter a whole lot - pretty much most decisions you make as a moderator need to be reinforced by a second moderator before they take direct effect. At any rate:

MakkE, Shadow, Staffy, MitaMAN, Dplomat, and Sparr are now moderators. There's no additional responsability - you can totally ignore the priviledges if you like. All they can do is moderate up and down comments and help move stuff to the front page. Please read the moderators' guide before using your mod access.

This is just experimental and not a big deal - the worst I'll do if it doesn't work out is change the moderator access or remove it altogether - but I'm sure it will be useful.

Just a little shot:

Notice the HUD elements. In't that hella cool? I just thought I'd point you to JayMan29's nifty new Cube mod while I punt it out of the Map section after he graciously reposted it as a mod. Quick note for new users - please read the Users' Guide at the top before posting content.

Sauer maps:

Now, a few Sauer things. Congrats to my partner-in-crime Nieb for making what is by far the sexiest thing I've seen on Aard's engines yet.

Aardappel has announced his first relatively stable release of Sauerbraten. We've had a whole day and still no maps yet - I'm kinda disappointed.

Go get it. The first decent map I see is going on the front page. Shadow, Staffy, Bltchgranmda, and Nieb posted maps for older versions of Sauer, which they should update for the new version - at least show us some shadow-mapped screenshots.

There's been a sudden boom of activity in the maps list. Thanks MakkE for your spectacular trickjumping map, and thanks Sparr for your laundry list of very innovative (and bizarre) maps. Plus, let's not leave out recent contributions by JCDPC and The Punk.

Now, a quick roundup (titles in the image alt text):

from JCDPC, MakkE and The Punk

from the prolific and bizarre Sparr

Quick sidenote: thanks Sparr for making your thumbnail filenames easy to figure - it made this process much easier. Also, if you didn't get mentioned in this roundup, don't take it as a slight, I just wanted to highlight the sudden flurry of interesting activity in the map list.

As of now, you must be logged in to post a comment. So make a user account... it won't hurt I promise. :)

Update by Pxtl: Feedback system is fixed, so you can use the "contact admins" button now.

In detail: Sorry, I just found out the Feedback system wasn't working. It should operate properly now. Junebug, thanks for finding that problem - you can send feedback now.
