Welcome to MCN version 0.1 2008-04-22 12:07:40

MCN is supposed to become a legitimate successor of broodwarmaps.net in the not-so-far future.

There is still a long way to go before the site is really usable, but I think it is a good idea to already start producing content, as you just see much better what's wrong and what's missing when software is in production smiley for ;)

The map DB filled with some maps (not all) from BWMN to have someting to test with, while the forums and news start with a clean slate 8)

When we feel like MCN is good enough to make the switch, I will work on transfering all maps and comments from BWMN over here. That is not going to happen very soon, though.

Please use the forum for bug reports and feature wish-lists smiley for :D

me too.currently looks a bit cold and sterile.try to use a more eye-friendly color/texture etc.try to implement some features from that fansite kit that you can dowload from the blizzard main site.also for the moment you cant display the pictures for each map.it was a good idea to register with your mail.i hope that way you can stop fake-users.i really hope it would become better than bwmn...

To avoid bots from getting an account I could either use CAPTCHAs or e-mail verification. I know that the e-mail stuff can be quite an obstacle to webmail-users, so I prefer CAPTCHAs. To prevent abusers to win stuff like MOTW we would need more sophisticated concepts anyway^^

Design is really just temporary. I will get a book on CSS from the university first before really starting with that smiley for ;)

a good feature would be,in case you wanna keep the map rating,to allow only logged people to rate and only 1 time per user for each map.if you wanna make it better in the map thread next to the comments under or over the reps a column where you can read what people have rated.something like:

Replays/Rating:
Grief_Stricken rated this map 9
XXX rated this map 8
YYY rated this map 4
etc.

X(zerg)vsY(terran)
Z(p)vsX(t)

would make the entire rating procedure objective and transparent
