I would like to make it clear at this point that this post is not an attack (at anyone or anything), but an attempt by myself to clear up some confusion.
I played around with commando and RenX for ages. Then recently, thinking Renegades days were numbered I decided to start belting out a few maps.
Obviously, like everyone else, I ran into some problems, and looked for some mod forums. I use several, Laeubis, this one, evo, renstation etc, and all contain an even mix of idiots and helpful peeps - just like the real world! 
I keep hearing this word 'community' getting bandied about, and Im pretty sure the people using it have no idea what it means. You know something? In a COMMUNITY people help each other. Hell a local COMMUNITY will help the sick the old the criminals the stupid the young - kinda everyone see?
As a neutral outsider looking in, id say this: I have yet to see an awful mod, map or conversion. Even drop mods. As far as I am concerned, anyone that bothers to use 1 MILLISECOND of their life to make something Renegade related deserves credit - yet all I see is different sites and folks arguing and calling each other shit.
This is stupid, petty crap, and it needs to stop.

I agree....I post a link to another Renegade site on the official forums and it gets deleted then locked.
Why can't i post a link to a mod forum for renegade?
People post clan sites for renegade.
I dont flame or harass anyone that doesnt flame me...I may flame back in that case...but it's all in good fun.
I don't dis-like ACK or anyone who's ever given me a hard time...yet it seems like they dis-like me....I get my balls busted i bust there's.
But it goes a little bit to far when I can't "advertise" a forum to help others map/mod.
No big deal tho.....,you guys handle your forums anyway you please.
I'll go about my business now,just seen this topic and thought i'd add my comments on it.

I have to agree with the site posting thing. I was going to say something on that guys topic but I felt it would only hijack the topic.

Lol... You advertised that forum saying that it's there because of how everyone on this forum flames people for just asking questions and how every mod thread gets deleted and locked. You insult this forum and wonder why your thread got locked?
And I quote...

There have been numerous complaints about locked threads and mod's deleting posts in the mod forum here.
so speedy059 opened new forums for people to come and ask there beginner's questions there without being flamed for it.

Phoenixx is right. You can advertise a clan site no problem, but when you say "Their forums suck come to mine", I'm not going to let it stay.
If you have a problem with something, why don't you talk to me about it? Do you know that I haven't received one single complaint about the running of the mod forum? That's right, none. Just slight references to dissatisfaction without any reflections on the cause.
I'm the bawss.

I never stated "there forums suck come to mine"
I like these forums...It has a huge database of topics on modding from the old forums and this one...I use the search function here alot,aswell i direct others to come search here for issues they may have.
I RECIEVED complaints by new mappers telling me there posts were deleted.Thus I was approched about modding a new forum for newbies...Sorry i posted my link up in that manner.Maybe i should try again??
If any problems occur in the future I'll contact you.

Ya you are right, but:
1. For the most part i see nearly all problems being solved, or an attempt is made.
and
2. If someone is disrespectful in the sense that they do not congratulate anyone on a contribution, then that person sucks, but nothing can be done, and you can't let it piss u off.

oh yeh. Im quaking in my boots. Stunningly intelligent put-down there.
For anyone else bar this ding, it was early in the morning, and I was grumpy. I was just feeling it at the time, and since this is somewhere to post things of this nature for general discussion, thats what I did.
