You sure a picture is gonna help? last time they said they were checking if the forum was active, after 5 or 6 bans they should know it is. They just post here cause they're junkies with too much time on their junkie hands.

And what hapened to that list? I tought it was cool.

This forum currently uses a graphic to verify registration. Given the flaws of phpbb coding, bots have been able to get around that check. That leaves a couple solutions:

a) Upgrade PhpBB (will break many of features on this site)
b) Stop new registrations
c) Periodically delete fake registrations

We currently are following choice c, given the low costs.

As far as the "list" you're referring to, I don't recall such an attempt except trying to compile some of the best maps into a single mappack.
