That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

Whenever people download a file, they very rarely come back to rate it or bump the topic if they liked it a lot. So many good gametypes are being lost into oblivion due to lack of community support.

A search-by-forum would be pretty easy to do. Technically, Google can be used to do forum-limited searches, but, because of the way Google's trawler works, it returns VERY few results.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

It's not bumping that is the problem, it is literally that far too many people are creating threads way too fast. For example; I created a thread with a screenshot a few days ago, right when I posted it, it was at the middle of the page and every thread was new. Refreshed it a minute later, and my topic with the picture went to the lower portion of the second page. Most, if not all, were new threads. In due time however, people will begin to settle down. But none the less, many things are being missed, and at that, quite possibly great things.

Agreed! I hope that Bungie Favorites will be updated soon, because the user created maps there were supposed to be some of the best maps out there. I am hoping that they take the time to get to play on some of the currently submitted maps that aren't obvious rip offs of other maps.. I mean seriously, do we really need another Omaha/Normandy map on High Ground? If people really take the time to get their map to stand out, it should be noticed, not pushed down to the bottom of the page by maps that are basically a stack of fusion cores in Guardian.

Maybe B.net needs a 'do not bump' feature.

I really like your idea Recon. It would help out a lot with everybody. I wonder if it could be done though...
