: After looking at Lh'owon Ar'kives and seeing that Pollution by Goran is one
: of the top downloads i noticed how few people have downloaded anything
: there. i mean top download is around 106 downloads (M1A1) and in second
: place is Pollution with 38. I understand that we are not many here in the
: marathon community but well.. i encourage you to use fileball more. a lot
: more. And one another thing, I also encourage you to rate the files. I
: looked at all my maps and none of them were rated, and only one file has
: been rated on the whole archives for the past 30 days. and that's
: pollution.
: So what i am saying, go visit fileball, download some maps or submit some
: maps. And then go rate files!!
I always felt that the file rating, full review and forum process was one of the best things about the site. That feedback system available to mod makers is still unsurpassed. All of Fileball was created with mod makers in mind. The underlying question trying to be answered during the creation of Fileball was, "What would I need to help me create my mod?". I mean, you can build a web page there for every file you submit, just put the HTML in the description. It's a shame this huge resource was never taken to heart by the Marathon community, it might have been created too late.
Fileball is not in competition with bungie.org. I work side by side with Claude there. You wouldn't be "betraying" b.org if that is what was bugging you.
