: No dude, that's crap that you've done for YOU, not Marathon or its fan
: community.

: If that's your share then you're someone who is apparently willing to settle
: for very little.

Yikes, the gloves come off!

Let's be clear - this is a place that welcomes all Marathon fans and that any contribution at all is welcome - provided the poster doesn't become a pest. SSO has initiated some truly worthwhile threads, including the one that lead Yos to write his now legendary Story Forum fan fiction piece. Simply being a fan is worthwhile - you don't have to be the designer of a great scenario or the one doing most of the open source work for AO.

Now, as a fan there is still lot you can do to contribute. I'm not a scenario writer myself - I'm just a rabbid fan. What have I done - well if it's not already obvious, I'm one of the most fequent posters here with over 1k posts to the forum, making me the 4th most frequent poster of all time last time I checked. I would like to think that my comments have generally been constructive. I also put up an extensive Marathon Rubicon fan site, based on the volunteers series for that scenario, which I led. There is a lot you can contribute, SSO, and your presense here is worthwhile, but you can do more if you put your mind to it.

Oh, and I strongly suggest you refrain from challenging anyone personally - you have only been here a short while and have no idea who some of the regular posters are or what they have done. Also, try not to take anyone's comments personally - that only leads to a flame war and they are usually meant in tongue and cheek. And to everyone else, let's refrain from getting personal.
