yes that is what i had in mind and what i was telling andy about before i went away.
but im confused, do all maps start there or is that just where the newbies go to gather ideas? Do maps that will be made go into the drawing room?

I also think that the suggs/ideas bit will be a bit spammy/chaotic, making an announcment into a sub-forum is a bit much isnt it?

RE: tom's question

true drafts start in the drafting forum


why is it good? instead of having to tell people to post their ideas in a sticky, they get a whole forum

it separates legit drafts from posts which say, "you should make a star wars map"

but it's also good for the ideas themselves because they each get their own thread where legit discussion can occur. I still say only 1% of these threads will ever be made into a map but it's probably more than what used to come out of the ideas sticky


yeti has bad b.o.
