*sigh* This is why I was hoping to get a sticky if enough people participated properly. Allow me to introduce you to the beginning of the thread:
You want to act like that? Alright.
If it gets sticky'd, the problem is solved.
If it get's sticky'd, it just get's stuck at the top to garner extra attention.
If I were to do this over again, I would make the comments thread ahead of time, instead of relying on ppl to actually read and be reasonable.
We read your pretentious first post, but the thing is
You don't get to set intricate rules for a topic just because you started it, you just set the topic.
If I put everything in the first post, how would I let people edit their progress well? I'd have to keep close tabs on it at all times.

I think that's what this is all really about. Attention. Attention for a masterful idea that you came up with to make everyone stick their map ideas in your topic, that you make the rules for. What if we want to comment on another's idea thought. No need to fret! Striker in his amazing foresight has you covered! Please refrain from posting a comment below the idea you read, and instead go to another topic (that he has graciously provided) with a different set of prescribed rules. We hope you enjoy your stay here with us in CrazyLand!
I have a better idea to take it a step further. I say we request an entire subforum under the Use Map Settings Category. We could call it "UMS Theory and Ideas" where we could actually start our own threads
about each individual idea! And then we could actually comment on each of the ideas w/o trekking across to another just to leave a comment on something in the other. WOW, our worthy admins have finished coding this project just as I type
http://www.staredit.net/?forum=11I guess I shouldn't bring about my ideas about a map production thread...
And oh yeah, new ideas get made all the time. It's a current progress kinda thing you know? Think about it. That's why we're on these forums.
Speak for yourself. Some of us actually already have ideas, and want to
Anyways, making a topic where everyone needs to post what they have going on in their head(AND THAT IS IT OR ELSE!) =/= getting new ideas. If you happen to get new ideas from reading others' ideas, once again please only speak for yourself.
