You may have noticed that for a period there, the site's activity slowed to a crawl. There are currently 60 maps pending in the approval queue and I am getting to them as soon as I can. If you are still awaiting approval, I kindly ask for your patience.

Because Mapraider is a hobby of mine, and because the site donations aren't anywhere near enough to pay for the operation of the site (see the progress bar to the left on the home page), I'm forced to put real life duties on a much, much higher priority than Mapraider. If you'd like to see that change, please donate.

    couldn't agree more... you've been missed meany :)

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Just another update... I'm currently approving 5-10 maps a day (so I don't bombard everyone and so maps don't get missed) and there are now "only" 75 maps in the queue. Should have everything approved in the next couple of weeks or so.

    Thanks for approving mine :D

    Thanks for submitting them, Firefly! When things are finally caught up here, we'll be back to approving maps within an hour or so of submitting -- and eventually, instantly ;)

    Yessir! Long overdue too.

    You may also notice some other things going on. I *finally* fixed the annoying tiny-font bug on the site, so the text is now actually readable. I also added some links to the RSS new maps feed on the home page. I'm also working on a special something that will allow me to re-instate the direct downloads (I hate not having them). Hope to have that wrapped up in the next couple of weeks as well.

    Now ... if I can just get Mapraider 2.0 moving again ;)

    [edit]

    Thanks for not giving up on me.

    Just another mini-update ...

    There are now only 31 maps remaining in the approval queue. I'll be approving the last few over the next few days, but there are a number of those that I cannot approve at this time because no archive or working download link was provided.

    In any case, I am now back to approving new (correct and proper) submissions almost immediately -- depending on how long the mirroring takes.

    Note that I will be unable to process submissions this coming Friday - Sunday (May 15, 16, and 17), so if you submit over the weekend, it will be Monday before I can get to it. I'll be making an announcement later this week to let everyone know this.
