It needs to be updated to ignore the transparency index or else it borks my {fence textures. 

yeah, that should be fixed in v0.2 from here 

Great! Thanks! Works perfect. 

everybody who's interested will be a follower at this point.

k thx bye. 

Except you are wrong about "followers". We're getting new visitors to func_ each day, those visitors might be interested in his streams right?

Ionous is not asking for money or getting sponsors. He's just contributing to the community.

@Ionous. Do your thing. 

Ionous, keep being you man. 

Twitch and YouTube are currently the only way for me to watch playthroughs until my computer is fixed. 

So I rely on his twitch spam thread to know how many hours ago I missed his Honolulu-time stream. 

Is Something_Wicked the latest version of the Drake mod?

I like how subtly advertised Drake is, similar to my Keep mod version 0.10. 

There haven't been any completed updates since then although I think PM may have a build that at least partly implements some newer features.

Also, not that it's guaranteed to be released at all or bear much resemblance to the original game if it is, but a sequel to Rune has just been announced. I'd given up all hope years ago:

Mostly I post in the appropriate map threads as a heads-up to the prospective mappers. I know that when someone streams one of my maps, I appreciate the heads-up, since I like being there.

And I have no clue who follows me or who doesn't. I've never checked. 

So I rely on his twitch spam thread

Wasn't even aware there is one. That's totally fine. #tf also. Go for it.

I was talking exclusively about the other threads, e.g. map releases, other pc games, etc. It's just visual noise there. The threads have some sort of "documentation" aspect to me, so please don't extra clutter them.

(btw, I am following ionous on twitch iirc. I would be interested in watching him play map releases, but I've never once seen it timely enough in a news thread.) 

Then
a) contact author directly or #tf for the stream
b) post the link to the recording after it exported to youtube to the release thread (or if you can save twitch recordings longer than a few weeks, go for that)

Also, we need a better quaddicted for map releases. 

It's just visual noise there.
We, including Ionous himself, have given you several reasons why this is not the case. Just because you have no use for Ionous' occasional heads-up posts doesn't mean they're useless. Learn to live in democracy, pal.

Sign me the fuck up. 

It's an amazing resource but relying on one admin (or a small group) is a bit precarious and since the site is so powerful I would imagine it's a pain in the ass and unruly to maintain. Perhaps a "Wikia" type of service where each author takes care of their individual map entries. There have to be enterprise services we can try that have some of the functionality of Quaddicted but can have many users/admins.

My vote would be something like Wordpress. It's easy to maintain and post, different permissions make it easy to control posts etc. it's popular and programmers can add custom functionality. Food for thought. 

Quaddicted is a wiki and the idea behind it was to allow people to contribute. Articles, tips, tutorials. But in all these years nobody could be bothered to do anything.

The site's structure and map system could be more streamlined and robust in its foundation and usablility, I agree. But the actual map archive part works just fine in my view. Sometimes takes a while for maps to be added to the database, but it's all there or will be eventually.

Spirit has other priorities nowadays, which is a bit unfortunate though understandable - however, despite his sometimes seemingly excentric ways on handling the files, he still keeps the site running. I doubt that a new system run by new people would make things better, especially considering how careless many of the recent releases were done.

If someone is knowledgeable in web systems, frontend/tool programming and similar stuff, by all means contact us and maybe something can happen. Best to discuss this on Quaddicted itself. IMHO, makeshift solution like your average blog systems, Discord or the like can fuck off. 

especially considering how careless many of the recent releases were done.

Fine and agree for the most part, BUT let in some more experienced admins or yes someone write a front end for non-technical folks like myself or perhaps some documentation on how to help with the current system.

I see a request to contribute to the site but zero information on how to add articles, tips or tutorials.

Links please.

Maybe try clicking "post new topic" in the forums? 

I thought there would be more functionality than a forum post from what negke was saying. 

Small articles and links can be added freely to the Wiki part of Quaddicted without moderator's rights at all.

That's as easy as it can be, and Spirit has showed the path to several times on Quaddicted's forums. I myself have contributed adding some things there.

It isn't hard to find either how to do it. The matter is that almost no one has put the effort to do so, like negke have said. 

from what I gather it seems to function a bit like Func_, with free-posting forums and a news section where articles need to be submitted for approval. What other functionality did you have in mind? 

good to see the general population of the board agrees to stream advertising. 

Come on now, let it rest. You seem to be the only one here who's bothered by what others find useful.
