OVERWATCH STATUS GO



I know this will come as a shock to many of you, but this is something that I have been thinking about for some time. Given the general decline of membership and mapmaking on SEN, we will be transitioning to the new and improved "SC2Mapster Network" over the next week. For the handful of you that still make maps, this wont be a huge transition as we will be in the likes of OneTwo, programmer, Sixen, and many others who share the same talent and passion for producing high quality maps and mods. For everyone else who has been with this community and has not transitioned to SC2, I hope you will follow us to the new joint community as well. We would hate to lose you.

In the meantime, Sixen has been made an Admin on SEN to help facilitate a smooth transition. He is also more familiar with the Curse framework to get us set up, and as you all know by now I am not at all a coder. As far as I know, everyone will be able to keep their usernames and we will attempt to transfer all relevant posts that we can (yes, the Shoutbox will remain, and we'll take a backup of the existing shouts when we finally switch over). Unfortunately some staff restructuring will take place, but it wont be affected too much.

I sincerely think this is the best move we can make at this point in the game, because I don't think we can last much longer without making a transition. Its like they always say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks, and it is time to put that old dog down.

I know a majority of you will hate me for this, and I'm sorry that I've failed you all. This really does seem like the best course to take.

I think I speak for all of us when I say: it's about fucking time.

Seriously, we've been flirting with SC2Mapster for far too long. I'm glad we can finally join forces.

Sup guys... Really looking forward to working with SEN, glad Devlin finally came to his sense and let us buy you guys out!

I'm glad everyone is on board. http://www.sc2mapsternetwork.com/ will be a great success.

Just Here For The Pie

Now that we have taken such a great step forward, I say we keep pushing ourselves more to the limit than ever before and remove the Null from the forums.

Now, this comes at no surprise for the vast majority of us that have been wanting to petition this action for awhile, but there will be the one or two people that will have their objections (e.g.: Cent). We cannot allow such a parasite to eat up so much of our community's attention. We need to remained focused here, people!

I have already discussed this matter with several of the staff, and we are all eagerly waiting for the final word from Null moderator, Kame. Hopefully this matter will be finally dealt with.

>be faceless void >mfw I have no face

The removal of null is relevant to my interests.

The new Sc2mapster network should be a great success; merging the two best mapping sites in the world will create an unstoppable force. While I doubt I will be able to keep my position as moderator due to staff resctructuring, I wish the new admin well and hope he is able to prosper in this new partnership. Congrats sixen!

I'm glad you mentioned that, actually. As I mentioned in my original post, we only be transferring relevant posts that will serve a purpose in SC2MN. This does mean Null will not be transferred.

We're actually promoting payne to lead developer and Community Manager alongside Dev, while i'll be maintaining the server and backend stuff. Perhaps you can retain your Moderator position, you'll have to bring it up with them.

Fear the almighty new Community Manager! >:D

No such post on sc2mapster kind of ruins it, though.

I'd suggest that announcing this on, or about, 1st of April (depending on your time zone) wasn't actually the brightest idea.

So when you're finished, SC2 mapster and this website will cease to exist and they will be replaced by the new sc2mapster Network?



None.

Yes. They'll redirect there, and we will form a happily fornicating community.

This.

And, also, if it is for reals, about fucking time. I am confused though, is SC2MapsterNetwork going to absorb SC2Mapster AND SEN and serve as one site for both previous communities, like a merger?

Edit: oh shit. who gave payne responsibility? There's going to be mandatory outdoor excursions and bear hunting now.

I'm telling you, typing in staredit.net and hitting ENTER will redirect you to http://www.sc2mapsternetwork.com/. Though a static SEN, like the "current" one, will be maintained at static.staredit.net. Notice I didn't make that a url because it hasn't been uploaded yet.

SC2MapsterNetwork is going to be an investor relations page and SEN will redirect to Mapster. Essentially, think of this like the ActivisionBlizzard "merger." While Vivendi, the parent company (i.e Curse), bought out Activision (i.e SEN), Blizzard's name (i.e Mapster) will be the one on the site. The difference is that instead of having two separate entities thereunder, we will operate as one.

Everything green is safe to eat.

Honestly, this would have been cooler if Sixen and a team of hackers just took over SEN. That way, the transition would be quicker. Knowing SEN, this is going to take a year to develop, and even then the code won't be complete so we'll merge it with some older code.

I, for one, welcome our new Mapster overlords.
