We're actually advancing fairly quickly. IP went into overdrive when he returned from a year-long hiatus two weeks ago - we have one PR admin now, with a new Community admin pending. You can now turn SCI or SCII forums on/off, the planets theme is being reworked to look nicer, the Wiki's still...
We actually have eight skins, five of them with substantial differences between each other beyond recoloration. You probably can't choose between them logged out; it's under "Extras" under the shoutbox when logged in, though. I personally use "Maplantis", while the default is "Epic".
Plus...
Yeah, that's currently our problem. And our userbase, which used to be gigantic, has shrunk in recent years as SCI lost popularity. We're also hoping it'll grow as SCII is released and as older members return to us.
Maybe you're right of the comparison, but then think - If our mappers can make a Warlock-like map in paint, what can they make in Photoshop? :P
At least, that's how I like to think of it. Maybe I'm delusional. <_<
Yes, we've been purely SCI mapping and modding (using 3rd party tools to forcefully edit Starcraft code). If you still play SCI a bit, you should try out some of our more awesome maps/mods - my personal favorite is Elementa, which is an unfinished (From what I understand, it takes so much effort...
We have everything else, we just don't have the publicity, because, as a formerly SCI-only website, we were never part of the WCIII mapping sphere. Yes, we're trying to use money to lure content to the website - but we're not paying you to join us and become active, only for submitting good...
Staredit Network is hosting the first of what we expect to be many mapping contests: Starcraft II Mapping Contest #1
At the moment, SEN is trying to expand its SCII resources to appeal more to former WCIII mappers - our major problem is that, as a previously SCI mapping community, our members...
... Georgia started the war on the first day of the Olympics, not Russia. Russia responded. And, if you can't follow the order of events, the bigger country did attack first - Georgia attacked South Ossetia, which Russia supports. Then Russia counterattacked. Where've you been getting your news...
Honestly, if the Iranians get serious help with creating a nuclear arsenal from Russia, there's pretty much nothing any missile defense shield can do about it. Currently active ground-launched Topol-M and the tested submarine-launched Bulava missiles can get past pretty much any missile defense...
Great. See, now this is what a Putin-Medvedev split of power can accomplish. A few more reforms like these, coupled with Putin's foreign and economic policies would make Russia much better.
Scorched Earth policy was very costly, yes, and resulted in the destruction of Moscow. However, it was...
It has been well documented that Marijuana isn't really bad and is certainly no worse for your health then cigarettes are. And not as debilitating as alcohol can be. Not really news.
Agreed. Farmers go to specific locations and steal kills and stuff from people that are actually wasting their own time on it.. I'd say that everyone who uses one of these deserves to have their computer explode. Not only is it copyright infringement, but its taking away from the enjoyment of...
