I have an idea that may help fix some complaints about "Community Files". Many people complain about seeing the same type of user generated content in each of the Files forums. Many others complain about not getting their hard work looked at without resorting to bumps and cross-promotions.
I'm thinking you could fix both problems by breaking down into further sub forums. For example:
In the "Map Variants" forum, you could have a sub-forum for classic remakes. Then, within that , several sub-forums for the various classic maps. That way, people sick of sifting through posts of remakes wouldn't have to. Likewise, people looking for map remakes can go straight to those forums and find the one they want (such as MY amazing Warlock remake... sorry). This would also encourage people to make more original maps, rather that wasting time remaking the same maps that have been made many times over. There could also be polls inside those forums where people vote for the best version. That way, people know which version is considered the best, and see how high the bar is set before spending hours attempting their own remake.
In the "Film Clips" you could have sub-forums for different types of video: amazing kills, funny deaths, stupid suicides, full-games, kill-tastic sprees, Rube Goldberg-esque contraptions...
Again, breaking them down would reduce the time spent wading through the sea of posts. It would also keep new posts higher to the top of each forum longer, so the really good ones don't get drowned before they can be seen.
Thanks for reading, and please feel free to comment.
