Ankh 
Yup, in the secret map. 
The Huygens Probe Has Landed 
Posting in anticipation of shots of either a really cool murky cloudy frozen alien world, or just lots of fuzz. 
Quake Pre-Release 
Some of the #QC folks were redistributing that a while ago. I might still have a copy somewhere. I never could really be bother to look through it and check all the changes, but I do remember that the Q logo on the ogres' chests was one difference. 
spawnpoint is back! 
necros is back! 
Yar 
It's been up and down all day... Seems up now, but it's still a bit slow... =\ 
 
and after this weekend when I switch hosts, maybe it'll be up more often... and maybe I'll make a real front page... and if they space/bandwidth is any better, I'll host some more people (still on an invitation by me basis) 
Hmm... 
Should we backup our sites if/when you switch host? =) 
Bal: 
stay in contact, I'll let you know... hopefully I can just have the new host get all the old files for me. I may just have to make a backup myself and move things over, having you guys each do your own backups can help. 
On UWF's Site 
I'm willing, if everyone's OK with this, to do all the Quake reviews for UWF's site solo, so that it's still sort of an official review site, until such time as I run out of spare time, I die , I'm abducted by aliens and they don't give me access to Quake and the internet, or I become uninterested in Quake. I don't think any of those is going to happen in the immediate future... :)

I've completed reviews of all of the maps that my name is listed for on the site. If no one else has said anything about those two, I'll do them this weekend. 
Many Thanks Mr.tronyn! 
tronyn is henceofrth known as = "the map-reviewing machine"

4 New Map Reviews: 
massive update at my site:

http://www.planetquake.com/underworld/index.html

"Tronyn has been very busy enjoying and immersing himself in Quake 1's twisted but beautiful new worlds and has produced a update of 4 brand new map reviews".

Enjoy. :) 
Excellent Reviews 
good work tronyn. I agree with giving Marcher 20/20 too, you rock (as does uwf)! 
Doom 3 Map Reviews? Thoughts? Volunteers? 
thanks Starbuck... also i am thinking abut adding Doom 3 SP Map reviews to my site.

1.Does anyone have any thoughts on this idea?
2.Would anyone be interested in writing Doom 3 map reviews?

[My personal main stumbling block for Doom3 right now is the money required to buy the hi-end graphics card i need to play Doom3 at a frame rate acceptable to me. [right now i get 15-20 fps typically]]. 
Thoughts. 
1. Review for games that really need maps reviewing, both in terms of exposure needed and maps that need to be analyse.

2. Review for games that genuinely inspire you and that you geniunely want to highlight mapping for. 
 
Kinn Kell RPG Bal Cybear Anyone else I seem to host without knowing it:

Please email me your SP logins/passwords, I've bought new hosting, and will now be readding you all. For this week, we'll still be at our current location, but as soon as I get you added and email you back some directions for logging in, you can start getting things together on the new server. Also let me know if you currently have an SP email and if you want to continue using it (and login/pass if it's differant)

Hopefully I'll be able to make the move as painless as possible, but it'd be very helpful if you each move your own sites over. Kinn, I'll move you since you're most likely already gone to the US :D
