this site kicks ass coz people post a problem, and other people strive to answer it with as much clarity as possible. and teh problems get solved within the same day, sometimes within a few minutes, now to me, that says that this site is number 1, and noobs are what keep twhl going. there's an awful lot of noobs in this place looks at coolfat/worldcraft dude, people who are elitist, and want to punish people for not knowing information that no-one in their right mind should actually know.
i think countermap is too elitist, and that's why noobs are shy to go there and get bashed for not understanding a tutorial, personally i think some ppl need a push in teh right direction before they start understanding tutorials.
tbh, twhl is number 1 in teh hl top 200, and that's where it shoudl stay, i think teh creators and mods need a pat on teh back for what they have done, that is to create a comprehensive site filled with just about everything you need for hammer mapping.
and whatever it lacks, there's always soemone who can point you in teh right direction.
