i actually prefer having a very good Sc2 site made in 6 months than a very bad Sc2 site made in 2 weeks.

The thing is, SC2 should be at least 50% of THW. Even at that, it is not certain if people will prefer a forum devoted to SC2 only like mapster or this one. I think the reason why some changed the forums like some went to WC3C for war3, oithers to mapster/udmod is they are more knowledgeable mapmakers in numbers and less newbies asking too simple things or less spamming their PM box boxes with requests.

Until now the plan has been to rewrite the whole site from scratch simply because technically, vBulletin is a steaming pile of crap but I guess from a user perspective, it's not so bad. The plan was to first get a forum system built and made it stable. Then add the resource sections for WC3 and finally for SC2.
I see now that the amount of time this will take will exceed the patience of the community manyfold.
Therefore I think I will build on our current platform a little longer and keep THW2.0 on a lower priority.
I have learned a lot by making our current resource sections so I think I can do much better for SC2.
I will make a new thread to brainstorm a different kind of resource system for SC2.
And you have been asking for a Wiki for so long.. Perhaps we should use something that works out of the box? MediaWiki (like wikipedia)?

This is very good news indeed!
I personally think a Wiki is a waste of your time. Even the minimal amount of time needed to configure something already made could be better spent on building up the current platform.

I think that the wikipedia should be done AFTER the site is finished, also I'm sorry about the post above, I hope you can forgive me, for I am impulsive and rash when I defend something I like

I also think it's better off to be here on the forum, just grouped accordingly, it's not that hard to find sticky threads containing tutorials and such for the various sections - models, textures, is it? A wiki would be indeed wasted time. It could be some cool looking page of the forum like in flash version depicting things etc.

If you guys want more tutorials over here, you can always ask permission from their authors to repost them here. Usually they're okay with that.
Just make sure you reupload any images here instead of leeching off of mapster.
By the way ralle, have you thought about affiliating with them?

I'll just be looking forward to whatever happens Ralle, since I trust that you know what your doing and that we the community will support it to get the desired ideal - I do also really like the point stated by thread creator about the ownership of the maps and following spreading.

Mapster is a great asset to the Hive.
'Nuff said.
Anyways back to the real world,
I'd rather (don't take this as a hate-post) join Mapster for Sc2 and stay on the Hive for Warcraft 3.
If we divide a forum into more than it was originally planned, it will need more moderators, more money and in the end it will just end up with being a Forum that costs alot that no one actually use.
Though I full heartely agree that the SC2 part of Hive could be bigger, not just a "link" up in the top.
Why not make an intro-page when you enter in "www.hiveworkshop.com" where the right side is Sc2 and the left side is WC3 with some fancy artwork and names.
Just an idea and this is just my opinion. Feel free to disagree or agree.
(PS: Disagreeing will cost you a 1$ each second word.)
