A Warcraft modding site with a community whose ego is bigger than even that of the most obnoxious idiots. Their map-submission section is simply there for the administrators or long-term members to showcase their work and enjoy the flattery and praises of fellow members, all the while attempting to overshadow everything else. This statement is supported by facts that defy all contradicting arguments, including that maps that are not made by moderators or long time members rarely ever make it in, while one vice versa would often be approved before testing sessions are even anywhere near. However, succeeding in getting one's submission into their database often gives oneself something to brag about, considering the astronomical odds stacked against a normal submitter that are largely due to the fact that the very staff seem to have devoted themselves to the utmost task of shooting down anything that is not one of their own.
The community's attitude towards newcomers is comparable to that of the denizens of a disturbed beehive. However, the worst that they can ever give you besides banment is negative reputation, which does little other than put flashy red squares beneath your username whenever you post. Despite the pitifulness behind the purpose, it can often lead to hilarious scenarios such as reputation holocausts whereof the victims whine and complain for days on end.
Proceed with caution if you plan on joining their so-called "expert" community.
