I was referred to here by Blue; at the request of AZN FTW, as he put it.
ForgeHub is my normal stomping ground to be perfectly honest, aside from the likely presence no-advertising rule.
I used to like forging individual projects a lot, but I usually just try to help out my friends now.
Shooter games are my all-time favourite genre; I'm not limited to Bungie titles.
So, what is the specialty of this forging website? What are some of your most proud projects?
And who should I watch out for on here :D?
PS: I think smilies are over-rated.
Be careful Catmon, Insane might be following you!
Hopefully the people here do not delete links to other sites XD

First off, Welcome!
We are in the process of adding lots of new features around here.
One of our biggest bragging rights is our Map Search (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/mapsearch.php?styleid=27), although that is the new version that is still in Beta. (You'll have to change your Style back after viewing it, you can do so at the bottom of the page. Blak-Ice is the default style that you started with)
We also pride ourselves on being very Community Driven. For instance, you'll see lots of Community Polls (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1127) so that our users can decide what direction we will take. Also, the current Forgery Challenge (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1148) is another example, because the community chooses the winner, and the prize is the Mythic Map Pack!

Welcome to the site, and let me add some more on what Null is talking about...
We are also all about noticing the community... when the review team gets up and running again you can assure that you will be able to get some sort of feedback on your map. And whenever you need testing we are going to start hostinga test night where others that need a map tested, like yourself will play customs with you... each person will get to playtest and get feedback... while having fun...
Another thing is our focus.. here at XF we are focusing on innovation and custom games.. other sites focus on maps.. maps are just tools for custom games... that's why you build the map in the first place. With this focus you can almost guarantee that the maps that are chosen to be featured have something unique about it's gameplay and something you don't see... whether it be a standard CTF played in the leaning tower of pisa, or a complete new standard gametype like Conquest... the fun is what we look for.. not the looks...
Also we have the spam collector.. this is where the bored people hangout... there are no rulees in here.. so as long as your post isn't reported you can continue on wtih as much non sense as you like there... and not get warned for it...
Enjoy your stay... and ask aroudn if you need any help...

The review team is already up and running, but it lacks members. If that sounds like you'd enjoy downloading maps and following our guidelines on reviewing, just send Morphine (http://xforgery.com/forum/member.php?u=84) a PM.

This is something that we've been striving for since the start, and it's one of the reasons that the review team was thrown together. Anybody can judge a map based on looks by the pictures provided, but you actually have to download it and play it to get a feeling for the gameplay.
Also we have the spam collector.. this is where the bored people hangout... there are no rulees in here.. so as long as your post isn't reported you can continue on wtih as much non sense as you like there... and not get warned for it...
Just to make sure you don't get confused, this is the Spam Collector (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=75) he is talking about. This is the free reign of the site, so go have FUN!:thumbup:
Enjoy your stay... and ask aroudn if you need any help...
Ask me! Pick me! I'll help! XD
