Map types and packaging
I agree that AutoDL will ease the distribution of maps, but for server admins, thats not an option.
Should i choose to add an entire range of maps to a [KY] server, the best choice would be either a community released mappack such as the Euro, X or NewBase that exist on T2 now or one of my own.
I can foresee there would be many mappacks release by the community, and clients and servers will benefit from it. But the ease of use the custom map pack option that T2maps.com has is by far one of the more flexible tools ive seen in terms of choosing specific files and downloading them togehther.
If its too much of a hazard, then dont, but this forum section is for suggestions..and i think custom packaging is a great tool for people who want to test recently released maps.
BinderAJ, all of the features you mentioned will stay. I'll only remove features if I feel they have been detrimental to the site, (like possibly the user ratings) or if they simply don't make sense in the context of the new game. The way I coded the custom map pack feature will work with any type of file, so that will definitely stay.
As for new map categories, I was thinking I might have a checkbox on the map submission form. If you submit your map, and it doesn't fit in any of the existing categories, you can type a new category in the "other" box and check the box that says "suggest this as a new site category." These suggested categories would go into a database that I can review once a month or so, and add new categories that are suggested often.
And regardless of the availability of AutoDL in TV, this site will still primarily be a map repository. I'm also brainstorming ideas for server admins to promote their servers. For example, you could search for servers based on which maps they have in rotation, how many players they have on average during certain times of the day, etc. I'll have more ideas on this feature once I learn more about the unreal engine and how much data can be queried from a remote source. I might even be able to offer a way to search only for servers that always have an admin logged in ... things like that. Just depends on what information is available via the server query protocol.

"If at first you don't succeed, die and die again."
The query stuff you are talking about sounds really cool, perhaps the only real use of statistics in that case could be a page that portrays most popular maps and a link to its map page here on the site, regardless of its rating or download counters.
Ill post a few words regarding dedicated servers and servers admins on the miscellaneous section, ive learned a lot since im the "paying" admin at Kentucky Backwoods 2, the tribe leaders and captains have SAD privileges, but im the only one with FTP and telnet access
I am sure many servers would like the idea of being listed, on a list, such that ppl can look at their map rotations. (or not)
But will that encourage them to add more custom maps?
One of the more benifical things for this site would be if the T:V game doesn't come with the same large number of stock maps the previous Tribes game have come with. (I DON'T like the thought of not have such variety, from the begining).
Mister Oogie Boogie is the meanest one around, if I was on his boogie list I`d get out of town
Or the players that'd rather download a bunch of maps overnight instead of sitting and waiting on the server for about 2 minutes (depends on file size, connection, etc) for each map they don't have.
I would like to see Players skins be added to the site, if Bytor would allow that this time. Skins WILL look better, and also making skins is so much more involved. And Sierra said that ADL was going to be in game the last time and did not happen. But I'm sure THIS time it will happen. Either way I dought this site will lose anything major, I will still come here to DL map packs and such, be alot quicker then doing it in game, and you will find out if you are on a good server or not when you have to DL a map from them could take 2 minutes, could take 40 minutes, just pray the map wont end on ya or you will get kicked off and will have to start all over again. But that is just in UT3.
