Awesome. I love this kind of interface for things like maps. My favorite aspect of this site is the "Favorites" section. There are so many maps out there, and I have so little time on my hands to playtest all of them to see which ones play well. Even if the Favorites section are your personal favorites that narrows things down quite a bit.
A ratings system would be a better solution to allow the community to decide which maps are their favorites, however, it requires a lot of administrative overhead with requiring user registration and all of that. I think what you've got there is about a million times better than a stickied thread on the forum with a wall of links.
Anyway, thanks for putting this together, it's super awesome, and so clean too! It'll be my goto place when I get some time to look at the maps and see which ones I want to add to my servers.

lol nice update. Nice to see you're still 100% behind the site
I am, for now. Not sure for how much longer what with the workshop now and most people are fairly ungrateful so, not sure I want to keep supporting a project of this size for the community (and it was a huge undertaking... just the website maintenance alone takes a lot!). I guess it's something I'll make a decision on in the near future.
Thanks Maxim, that's always nice to hear. I have considered the ratings system, but like you said, it involves a lot of overhead and could also be easily manipulated.
We are however more than open to suggestions for adding more maps to the existing favourites page.

Sorry to hear that and I can understand though. I have got many idiots on my workshop uploads who are going all at it. Whatever you choose, you done an extremely good job and succeeded. Well done from pretty much the whole community
Yeah good job on the site. I pretty much downloaded every single map on my server from your site.
Sorry if this is an old topic, but I'm going to take matters into my own hands to see if TWI added any maps to the whitelist, since they don't tell us anymore...
I'll let you know if I find any whitelisted maps.
I have my work cut out for me...
EDIT: Nevermind. Laziness has overcome me.
Wish that TWI would update the whitelist, I mean, seriously, I want to try new maps, and these same old ones are getting boring.

Not sure yet. As it stands, the site is kind of useless now (besides the hosting side of it). At least, it doesn't make sense in it's current form.
Have thought about dumping the entire site and starting something else (hosting for maps and mutators, as I know hosting can be an issue for some people - we have unlimited space and bandwidth). But I'm not sure yet.
Suggestions welcome.
Make a map directory for most maps.
you could reuse the categorization similar to how the L4D sites categorize their maps... themes, etc.
Adding mut hosting wouldn't be a horrible idea.

Providing mutators and other custom content would be great, considering a lot of links are broken here and you have to do a ton of searching for what you want, and it may not be properly categorized as whitelisted or not.
