Forge Hub - View Single Post

I haven't been around as long as you bnasty, just since March. I posted 2 maps within one week, and one map I posted, people were just ranting at me because ironically one of my structures looked like a swatzika (however it's spelled... the Nazi symbol) it was crap. I stopped posting for a while after then, and didn't post my next 2 maps because I didn't want to hear anybody trash me and my maps just from pictures. But of course, I came back after I had gotten a little better at forging from reading some forging 101 articles.

When I came back, My maps were a lot better and had good interlocking and such. The pics looked good, I got a lot of positive comments. But I'll admit, some of my earlier maps played like crap.

Out of all the maps I've posted here (about... 8) I haven't gotten ONE helpful gameplay review. not ONE. I could've improved all of those maps a lot more if anybody would've cared to play the map before posting and judging from the pictures. Yet I still post my maps here... I don't even know why. I'm not even expecting to get any useful comments anymore.

and rep... the WORST thing to happen to Forge Hub. I'm serious. I used to like it a lot really. I thought "hey, a reward system for being a positive and helpful member. maybe people will start giving me helpful comments and I can be helpful too" well of course, I didn't get helpful comments, and instead I got neg reps from idiots who got made that I said some negative things about their map after playing it or doing a forge through and got neg repped by someone who i negged rep for giving me a completely usless comment on one of my maps. People made such a big deal of rep. And after all, if you are truly a helpful and positive member, you don't need a reward for doing so. Especially virtual points on the internet that don't effect your life at all.

And about the people who care about post count. I've been here since March, I have 578 posts. There's people who have been here for 2-3 months and have 1000 already. On top of that, most of those members who get 1000 posts in 2-3 months have either been warned or banned at one time. I have never been infracted or warned at forge hub. Sure I might've spammed when I was just a trainee, but that's because I was getting used to it, this is one of the first forums I've ever been a part of. But I will tell you, the majority of my posts are helpful, useful, and meaningful comments. I ask myself what's so freaking hard about that.

But hey, I'm just at forge hub for the maps. I actually do find a couple good maps that I actually download. And most of the maps I download off forge hub are either featured, or featured eventually.

I'm just glad to see that I wasn't alone in my opinions of what forge hub has become, well since march at least. I never realized that a lot of other people had similar opinions. Thanks dude.
