My only trouble is that I released a SP map back in September and it didn't get a screenshot on the front page.
Guess it didn't rate. :( No troubles at all in Los Angeles downloading for the record. Bit of a bump and a long shot here, but does anyone who uses Quaddicted run Waterfox as their web browser? I switched over from Firefox a couple days ago and only just discovered Quaddicted is totally unreachable in WF, citing an error where the 'authenticity of the received data could not be verified.' So far as I can see I don't have any settings that would be blocking it and it loads just fine in other browsers, some quick Googling suggests it's due to a depreciated method of data transfer from the site?
I'll keep a second browser installed just for Quaddicted, but was wondering if anyone had run into the same issue. It's that time again! Just making sure everyone who cares is aware.

Dec 16 Fuck func, fuck terrafusion. Keep your hostility to your own "community", you insensitive shitheads. Yeah maybe not. Yo scampie. Ill be honest, kind of sad to see you rate the pack a 1 just based on the drama alone.
When the people directly involved with the pack NEVER SPOKE DOWN ON REPUS. Naitelveni, Skacky, and myself. Sounds like this whole situation is people assuming the intentions of the WHOLE(func_) based on the actions of a few(those who spoke down to Repus). Oh and I emailed Repus. He enjoyed the pack and literally didnt give a fuck about the title. Go map. Seeing as everyone is so mad in the community regarding func_/tf and Quaddicted, why don't the func_ bois go and start their own donation fund to host a replacement :-)))

For reals though everyone needs to chill out. Maybe take a break from the forums The thing I always liked about Spirit is that he was underpowered and non-elite, much like my own newbie self, but he never stop pursuing his goals.
He was always awesome to intermittently pay attention to, because he had ideas. He kept at it and over time he scaled up and got what he wanted, making mistakes a long the way but then he'd learn/revisit/fix. And ultimately he would finish something that was in many ways a ridiculously impossible idea at the time. While keep the altruism and spirit of open source as themes -- a noble act. but i like spirit, and i miss him
Would all the drama go away if otp went away?
I don't have a dog in this fight but this is a question that came to mind reading these recent posts. I guess reading the few your antagonistic posts above, coupled with the remembrance that your posts can be some of the most toxic here, made me think of that question.
Again, I look at this all from a distance and most times it just makes me laugh. It's not OTP.
This is bound to happen in a narcissistic group where dick jokes, in-crowd memes and personal cults are the gold standard and empathy a rarity. If anything OTP has simply played some tunes that were inspired by all this in the first place. What the hell are you smoking man?
Just because we're blunt does not mean that we're narcissistic or unempathetic. Dick jokes and in crowd memes are common among any small community who enjoy non-PC humour. Even if you're correct about OTP and he is a bad actor, asserting that it is this place that is at fault/breeds that kind of behaviour and not the fault of his individual actions is foolish. Also what the fuck is a personal cult and where is there one here? I haven't seen one. Next time post with your name, otherwise map more, troll less. ...that wasn't a troll Shamblernaut, that was a guy saying exactly what many of the old-schoolers of this community have realized over the last several years: We've created and encouraged a toxic atmosphere on this board that enables the constant abuse and negativity that goes on now. It was wrong to do and be ok with this shit then, it's still wrong now.
And these aren't new criticisms of the community (and aren't so different than the criticisms of gaming culture as a whole), people were calling us Qboard posters elitist jerks ~20 years ago, but this is the latest chance to confront these problems and maybe do it right this time. I was always the one making some of your same arguments then, but you learn and grow and so should a community. Drama isn't going to go away by ignoring it, telling people to just 'go map' and pretending like the causes are 'just how things are' and that makes it acceptable. Just means you've limited the community to assholes, people who are ok with assholes, and idiots who don't realize they are surrounded by the shit of all these assholes. That's no way to run a community when you want it to also be encouraging of creative and interesting voices; because what exists right now only feeds biases, revels in its own ignorance, and glorifies bludgeoning anyone who has "wrong opinions" to feel a bit superior. And if it takes only a few bad apples to spoil the bunch, well it takes even less in a smaller community. But, since you seem to love "non-PC humor", a codeword for dunking on minorities and people different than you and it somehow being ok because 'free speech!', maybe you want to be surrounded by assholes? Realize though that all the truly smart and interesting and talented people will be less and less excited to be around such garbage and will dwindle more and more; and maybe when some sycophant in the community decides you're target of the moment and chases your every move around the internet telling you to kill yourself and that you're a jew sjw cuck like someone does to sock and MFX and me; you'll have no one to care and be bothered to defend you anymore and you'll wonder if a few silly Quake maps was worth that.
