New Downloads Section - Input requested
As most of you have probably noticed, there are a lot of files hosted on GiantsWD. Some are awesome, but a lot of them aren't all that great. I've spoken with King, and we've agreed that it'd probably be a good idea to create a new downloads section for content of an extremely high quality.
This does raise a question however: "Who determines what is and isn't high quality?" Rather than pick and choose everything ourselves, we believe it'd be a good idea to let random folk like yourselves nominate files for ZOMG AWESOME status. To get an idea of the sort of files we're looking for, take a look at some of my choices below.
Maps:
City 17 (Pinchy): Best city map available, hands down. Includes a fully accessible sewer system beneath the city.
Locks (Sprinkz): The ultimate CTF map. Features interior bases with large gates that can be manually locked and unlocked to keep intruders out.
EMB (SoulBlighter): An older map, but one that is extremely playable and has very nice terrain.
Deliverance (Nullpointer): CTF with a slight twist - Rather than stealing the enemy flag, the objective is to deliver your flag to the enemy control center.
Patches:
GRM (Tasiin, Vortex): Makes Giants purdy.
GF3Converter (Bardock): Enables the various enhancements that were previously only available in the GF3 version of Giants.
Dutch Translation (Bardock): Good and fancy, deserves recognition.
Utilities:
GMM (Badbrain) - Duh?
GiantsEdit (Nullpointer) - Again, I don't think this needs introduction.
At any rate, for any file you feel deserves special recognition, please write a short sentence or two describing what it is that makes the file awesome.

I like the idea. I must admit, seeing 100s of maps and not having too much description on each isn't very inviting. No offence to anyone, but some maps ARE betetr than others.
I don't have any suggestions, I woulda suggested Locks by SprinkZ but you already hit that up.
So umm... yeah, look forward to playing some of the quality stuff.
--EDIT--
Maybe some skins? I don't remember the good ones, but I do remember one that was quite popular before I left. I think a skin or two should go in there.
