Out of all the 1 103 people who have submitted a map in the map vault, 69 of us have logged in since the start of the year. We may be a small portion of everyone who has come here for Half-Life mapping, but I bet most of us will be around for a long time and that's not sad I think it's a pretty damn amazing achievement for a traditional online community like TWHL that so many are still here - despite Reddit and Facebook and such
I come here from time to time too, it was my home community when I grew up on the internet. Nowadays I still have an uncompleted project for Source but my life requires much more attention these years than my teen passion for Valve games. Very rarely I come back to mapping again.
I love TWHL. It's fair to say that I've spent a considerable portion of my life here. A lot of the activity is over on the Discord now, but there are definitely fewer old timers around nowadays.
