seems that immediately after your return(for most ppl)you picked up the sword and fought the horde... or the evil rating btw.
however it's time to put an end to that situation in wich thhe site lived all this time.
and a question...@ darky: where the f... hell have you been all this time!!! take a look around the site, thousands of forums that were for changed NEEDED into the site,and the one who could solve them didnt exist,disappeared...
I don't understand the logic behind the removal of the rating system. I thought that was one of the best parts of this site. What, did you remove it because peoples' feelings were getting hurt or something? Well, if they upload junk to the server that nobody will use, they probably deserve it.
Also, although the rating system can and has been abused, it's more often used fairly than abusively. Also, I thought you were supposed to impliment a banning system for belligerent downvoters? By removing the rating system, all that says to me is that you guys weren't doing your job.
our hearts may finally be at peace -- Darky is back!!
i dont know about them changes in the sections in which i dont submit stuff, but removing the rating system is probably all for the best! GJ
EDIT: btw, to everyone who think the voting system shouldn't have been removed: you can still write comments about the resources like "very nice\WOW THIS IS L33T - 5\5!"

finally you were drag off the WoW
you made quite a miss here Darky
now without the rating system, no more disavences i hope...
and i liked the Starwars section and the prehistoric, but why puting a Dinasty Warriors? imean, only in one week we received more models of Dinasty Warriors for a year! since this week, no one ever showed DW anymore, so i think its useless tough
Where were you? This site has been the same scince I first went to it over a year ago! In case you didn't get my PM the bug in the ROTD campaign is in the game cache thingey - I disabled the triggers that loaded the heros and it worked fine. Anyways, welcome back. (do you think you could start a StarCraft site like this to? That would be cool.)
Blerg, a miracle, Finally another site to upload my spells.
I have an idea though to know what resources are better than other's without the problems of the old rating system.
you can give 1/5 points to a resource, the changes are:
1 means good 2 means very good 3 means excellent 4 means Love it 5 means Best resouce ever
Although to prevent the issues rating had: - It will not show an average for the comparissions, it will show the total of points gained by that resource. - That means that if somebody doesn't like a system he shouldn't give it points, because giving it one won't downrate it, it will actually increase the resource's points.
Possible issues Nothing is perfect, there would be issues: - People may like the idea of making dummy accounts to give their resources more points, this can be detected with ip checks I guess. - Old resources may get more rating by default, although I think that it would only happen if they are old and good since people usually lose the track of older resources, there are always new resources that drop them to other pages. And this might be a good thing since it would prevent old good resources from getting lost of the sight of the new users.
There are problems with adding a new rating system though: - Darky would need time to do so , might take a good while. - Old resources would be at disadvantage with new resources
