Why isn't the Hive affiliated with WC3 Campaigns?

[Zerox]

Hey just out of wondering is there any reason why Warcraft 3 Campaigns isn't affiliated with the Hive? It just seems to me that it would make since considering the high amount of users on both sites.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

You could say that the 2 sites are kind of like competitors, in a way. It is like if Pepsi and Coca Cola started advertising for each other on the bottles.

 

[Dr Super Good]

A conflict in member policies, WC3C generally wants to stay away from us.

 

[Kwah]

And with good reason. THW fulfils a different purpose in the community as a whole.

 

[HINDYhat]

As if affiliation actually means anything anyway...

 

[Zerox]

All of your reasons seem to make sense.

A conflict in member policies, WC3C generally wants to stay away from us.

But what exactly do you mean a conflict in member policies?

 

[Dr Super Good]

They aim for ultra skilled WC3 modding members.

We aim for any kind of member which generally are the opposite of ultra skilled.

 

[Zerox]

Ah that makes sense. Thanks Dr Super Good.

They both have their ups and downs. Wc3c has better standards when it comes to submissions, but THW has a much more friendly environment for beginners. I like this forum better because it doesn't feel like a graveyard full of elitist lichs.

 

[Linaze]

Besides, I've never pressed any of the Hive's affiliate links/buttons, so it wouldn't make much of a difference anyways.

If Dusk wasn't banned he would eat your face. WC3C is like the conceptart.org to our deviantart.

 

[Pyritie]

Plus there's vex. >___>

lawl xD

Great people where there. (olof, mc!, and many more) they where more active there than here. Its like Allied vs the Soviet xD

 

[D a w n]

why do we even need an affiliation??
both run pretty well individually for years now.....

 

[Anachron]

Yeah, and I don't think we should affilirate them.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

tru dat

i cant remember who it was, maybe mr Bob. not sure.
anyways i said "hey WC3C looks interesting. should i join?"
and he was like "WC3C is full of assholes" (or something along those lines)

 

[HINDYhat]

cool story bro.

They're a fine group of people. Affiliation still wouldn't mean anything if they even wanted to affiliate.

 

[Anachron]

Why should we affiliate a site which wants to be for itself?
I mean they only have a few maps, which are, to be honest,
only played by Wc3c.net members.

most of their maps are really good however like Hero RPG

 

[Anachron]

We also have ALOT of good maps, if you mean that.

THW = Quantity
WC3C = Quality

Is the way I see it. Not saying THW hasn't got good recources, but WC3C has a higher standard.

Epicwar = quantity
WC3C = quality
THW = somewhere in the middle

 

[supertoinkz]

epic only has maps 7_7

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

How the hell did Dusk get banned?

 

[Linaze]

He requested it.

 

[Anachron]

I can't even find him in Member List lol?

 

[Velmarshal]

Why should we affiliate a site

Why not?

 

[VeljkoM]

Because they don't want that?

 

[Anachron]

Why not?

Because

• They don't want us
• They have other rules
• And even if, what does it matter?

 

[Diehard@Azeroth]

Iv seen there, i was a member when i first started mapping, their standards are pretty high, so yea il repeat what they said, but i think that our community serves the purpose of wc3 entertainment the most. That being said, Hive workshop is better in that aspect.

 

[Velmarshal]

Because

• They don't want us
• They have other rules
• And even if, what does it matter?

Well making easier to find resources and wc3 related sites for new users.
Improving connections between the sites and degrading their rivalry which also has no clear point. But both sites have very clear purposes, "improving the warcraft3 modding and playing expirience".

 

[Dionesiist]

Wait, what? Dusk banned?

 

[Anachron]

Is this offtopic or what? ^^

 

[VeljkoM]

You need their approval so even if Hive wanted to do it it still wouldn't be done.

 

[Velmarshal]

I'm just saying that there can be no harm done by affilitating the THW and WC3C.

 

[VeljkoM]

No harm but some people are just to hard headed. I maybe don't know what are exact attitudes but they don't seem nice.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

No, they just don't support idiots and incompetence.

 

[Velmarshal]

No, they just don't support idiots and incompetence.

Riiiight...

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Who cares..? We all know the link to Wc3campaigns, and we are aware of it's existence. Vice versa towards the Hive and Wc3campaign members.

What difference would it make if we were affiliated?

 

[AIagremm]

I prefer Hive, although when I was checking WC3C out, I noticed that its almost a copy of Hive. The rep buttons, the phrases like (Insert name here) will become famous soon enough on the rep. However, personally I think that Hive is much better. Hive even has a rule that "Hive is a friendly community"

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Actually it is Hive who is the copy, not the other way around.

 

[AIagremm]

Bummer. Anyway, I still think Hive's better.

 

[HappyTauren]

GUUUUUUUYS.
This is a moronic questions. While thw is like "^_^", wc3c is "-.-"
They got their group of people. If someone's good, they'll find wc3c anyway. Wc3c doesn't need to be popular and have millions of morons just so they could say they are active. Say what, 50% of THW's active userbase are MORONS. And like 5% of WC3C's active userbase are morons. And that is because, even when they are noticed, they get banned.

Afilirating thw and wc3c wouldn't do any good, we don't need more idiots over at wc3c anyway, and people from wc3c are too good to spend their time at THW.

 

[VeljkoM]

And you have serious issues. What gives you do right to insult people like that? Just because you right about the seriousness level. Hive is much friendlier if we don't count people like you.

 

[Coolty44]

I think of the Hive and WC3C as "levels" in a modders career. The Hive is a place for people to learn and refine the skills needed to be a respected user for whatever you choose to mod. Some people can advance to the level were they can move to WC3C, some people choose not to, and others are hopless.

 

[WhitePhoenix]

I visit both sites... I come to THW because I know a lot more people here. I go to Wc3c for answers (in complete honesty). However, even though its probably titled and biased because this is being said on THW, the majority of wc3c supporters who have commented in this thread don't say much for their userbase.

Regardless, a modder who wants his map to actually be played will logically attempt to reach the standards of both sites in order to get it posted on both sites. Getting your map posted on wc3c means a "higher" standard has found it to be in high enough quality to be added, likewise posting a map on THW, though possibly a "lower" standard, opens your map up to a greater array of people. It's two sides of the same coin.

Maybe we all just need to realize we can flip the coin more then once.

Whee! Ride the roller coaster!

 

[Cassiel]

No, they just don't support idiots and incompetence.

That's exactly what they support, actually. I've been using WC3C since 2002 and THW since it inherited wc3sear.ch's resources in late 2003 or early 2004. The only real difference between the two sites is the number of users.

This whole meme that "WC3C is for pro modders" only started after people began to abandon the site. In reality, WC3C is like the little kid whom nobody wants to play with, so the kid says "fine, I didn't want to play with you anyway."

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Meh. Better to have 50 competent users than thousands of idiots.

 

[VeljkoM]

So better not to have people who are going to USE resources and that will PLAY the maps.
Great logic.
