And yet, somehow, this is another fantastic year for Quake mapping across the board, old and new, modded and vanilla, simple and spectacular, individual and community (including this forum) driven..........

This is true and it's important to take a moment to appreciate it fully, because for some reason, it feels like the community is at a decline. But really it's not (I hope). 

Is what got me started on Quake mapping. Thank you Spirit for all you do. Never stop being awesome, never let naysayers get to you, always Keep on. I greatly appreciate your maps archive as one of greatest contributions to the Quake community.

The two pillars of Quake online: Func_ and Quaddicted. One for making, one for playing.

We may be a bit internet every now and then. We're all people on here. Pardon our attitudes, some of us just need to eat or take a nap. 

got me started on mapping, but Quaddicted showed me the richness of the Quake community content. 

a YouTube video of TB by uh... CustomGamer I think? 

Which browser do you use and which cookies are created when you login? Can you try with a different browser perhaps?

I might be slagging off Spirit's grumpiness but yeah Quaddicted has been great. The first resource I'd send people to who want quake maps. 

I tried Chrome at first, but then I used Firefox which I have not visited quaddicted on.

I just get the same links and information as dump's screenshots. I'll try again with IE11 because why not. 

It appears to be a bug in the system, not related to the browser. Could be that all users who signed up after a certain point lack the priviledges or something. Maybe introduced by some server upgrade or move.

Thanks for checking on it. 

This spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pOvZYeX_ThrAkVxgCEkCwuQPrQeSASGSmmqwyrqya6k/edit#gid=0 is missing at least five maps, as far as I can tell:

Block by Mickmaus https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=478
Naitelveni's three "Lulz" speedmaps (all released in March, I think)
Newhouse's sm179 map 

Can we make it to 100 maps in 2017? 

Don't go releasing 20 box room maps with one enemy. That's cheating. 

I was not aware of Block by Mickmaus.

I am not including LULZ on purpose, we could all shit out a dozen joke maps a month and then claim 1000 releases per year and that is decidedly *not* the point.

I don't see sm179_newhouse either in the official zip nor in the Quaddicted listing. 

QUMP is supposed to come out soon, which is 8 maps.

The "episode" "jam" is also supposedly close to question, and it's another 8 maps.

Muk and Nait are both working on releases that could be conceivably released within several weeks.

We can hit 90+ within September. Nevermind doing 100 this year, let's aim for 125! 

Counting every individual map, that is. Keep that in mind if you use the numbers to compare it to previous years. If you go about it this way, the years with high speedmap activity can easily skew the statistics, for instance.

Yes, and?

Have you already forgotten about the deadline clusterfuck? The pack was released a few hours before the announced deadline, so NewHouse's map wasn't included. IMO it should have been added to the Quaddicted page, at the very least. Check post #2 in the SM179 thread here for a download link. 

SM179 was released AFTER the dealine had past. Stop saying otherwise. I literally counted down the hours. It was announced at 7pm one night and ended around 9pm the following night.

This is ridiculous that people still cant accept being wrong about something so minor. 

As I've already said before, the deadline was announced (written in plain text in the OP) at 12:00 UTC. I'd be curious to know, in what world 12:00 = 21:00, exactly?

Breezeep posted at August 19th 1:59 (func_ time). This means the jam ended August 20th at 1:59 (func_ time)

Hell he even accepted dumptruck and naits maps late. Newhouse posted his 3 hours after Naitelveni who was already 1.5 hours late.

Discussion over. 

Youre stating that the jam only lasted 9 hours.

Since the jam was announced at 1:59 (func_ time) that means 10 hours would be 14:00 (func_ time).

People submitted their maps, which ended up in the pack, well past the 10 hour mark you are stating.

I honestly feel slight "schadenfreude" for even having to spell this out like this. 

Yes, the discussion was over, why do you feel the need to bring it back up?

And why do you persistently choose to ignore the damn fact that he TOLD EVERYONE in his OP that the deadline was 12:00?

Uhhh... what?!?
