Problem is you've just asked on the original map thread for permission but didn't wait for it more than 1-2 days. Did you try other means of contact?

Use Carl Degrath (Player 1) to gather naturally spawning resources within the town.
Russell Anderson should be the last to be rescued.

I don't have his email or anything like that. Ralle deleted his account automatically so that route of asking Ralle for malganisdeamon's email is closed. I understand Ralle reasoning enough, hosting stuff costs money. Hive is a fan website that survives on user and admin donations. I also think malganisdeamon probably forgotten his email or password too and Google/Yahoo deleted it for inactivity. Google reserves the right to delete account data after 2 years of inactivity too. Personally I lost a couple of emails like this way too. I'm lucky I even remember the password to my Hive account else I would made a new one.
I'm fairly certain that he doesn't any presence outside of Hive. Even if there was the websites come and go, if it exists then the data was probably lost forever. For example diplomunion.org, I know they hosted maps and projects and now nothing and is dead. When chaosrealm changed from Tapatalk host to what they have right now, most of the wc3 resources was lost in the transition.
And his username itself doesn't help, it's too warcraft coded. The search results will show wikis of the Dreadlord Mal'Ganis not the user malganisdeamon. If the name was a bit more unique like EVULshadowdarklord_157, it could help narrow it down.
It was not the lack of trying but the passage of time. I can also see why it rub you the wrong way for posting it so soon after asking for permission but this map is one of my personal favorites and simply wanted to share the updated version with the wider community. I will take this map down if requested by malganisdeamon or Hive staff. If I am inactive while he requested this, feel free to delete it on his behalf.

Sure. Just please make sure the edit/update is meaningful compared to the original.
And add the original author's name as an author.

It's an OK enhance-edit. Doesn't change the game really much, just makes it a bit more eye candy.

- A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
- A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
- Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
