I love it when they get into arguments about backdooring, despite the fact it is an intended part of the game, and over 50 million revisions of dota.

Here's a clue tards, if you consider it abusive, have the map creator FIX it.

http://dota-allstars.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3563&st=80

One single trigger prevents the "evils" of a Furion backdoor. OH NOES THAT WOULD BE TOO HARD TWO COED, INSTEAD LET'S SETUP THIS HORRENDOUS SET OF RULES THAT IF YOU VIOLATE ANYTHING YOU GET 5 MONTH TIMEBAN LOZLZLAZ

Though, I guess there is a slight shadow of doubt. Either it's an intended feature, or "team dota"/guinsoo is really just that BAD at making maps.
 
Sud, Guinsoo was a good mapmaker, dota sucks now because hes off (ever notices presented by Ice Frog?)
 
I have to disagree on that one with ya Cres.

- The map IS pure theft from Eul's dota. If, in his infancy map making days, Guinsoo was to come to our forum saying "hey guys I got this great idea to modify dota, pls help me with triggers so I can modify dota" he would have been turned away as a simple thief.

- The triggered abilities are very few and when they do exist, very simplistic. Most everything in the map is simple. While that may be to some people's tastes, simple gameplay is simple coding. Most of the abilities are stock warcraft abilities with values modified.

- He has a community that has been up in arms since practically the dawn of time regarding "abuses" they perceived. Yet no real statements have been made as to them, nor fixes to them no matter how simple they could be. So they took things into their own hands and made what could be legitimate gameplay "bannable" with all the mind numbing TDA politics.

- He has a "team dota" doing his work for him now (icefrog as you say). Who knows what to expect from that.
 
true.. Guinosoo no longer improves DotA maps.

And I agree, Guinosoo was a great mapmaker, he knew what people wanted from a game, that is why DotA is well, "popular"*

*"=popular in different ways.. ehehe :P

    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.

    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:

    Weekend went by too fast. Next weekend I am going to try to do a nature thing - buddy of mine lives by the Colorado river and has some kayaks and invited me to do some kayaking from a place he knows to get on the river.
