The delay is not the fault of the people who would move the threads, but due to a small glitch, caused by me, which should be resolved soon.
HAH! So you would have us believe! Don't you see what's happening here? They blame the tech guy for their incompetence! Outrageous!

Apology accepted.

Erm, why did the news post I submitted about the update I did to my site (hosted by DaC, in case anyone forgot), get A) Never moved to the front page, and Deleted?

It wasn't made front page news because - quite frankly - it was boring, totally un-newsworthy and wasn't relevant to 98% of readers. NOBODY wants to read about an unfinished Fallout Tactics map - well... maybe the fine folk in the Fallout Tactics Mapping & Modding forum would.
And the post wasn't deleted. It was moved. Guess where... I'll give you a hint: "relevant forum, relevant audience". The first place you should have looked for it.

I guess that would explain why MMRW's post on the front page also disappeared, mmm?
Sorry Kreegle, I didn't see the move because the little "new post" light wasn't lit on the FOT M&M forum, so I didn't bother checking the forum.
So, when I post the finalized version and new tiles, can THAT post go in the Submit News forum/front page?
I kinda disagree with Kreegle, but understand what he's saying. DAC is largely a Fallout site, and map makers/modders or whatever should be allowed to have their stuff posted up. On the other hand, this case was pretty minor. A beta version of a map and little bit of info isn't quite front page material. I deleted the post after learning the original was moved.
Beta just isn't classy enough news for the average DaC'ers fine tastes. They prefer the finer things in life like beer, women and some other thing that goes with beer and women. Oh right, sleep/passing out!
