A new Source competition will, at last, be up soon. Topic to be decided.
No spoilers are to be posted unless very clearly marked, okay?
Yep, they're finally here! Congratulations to all who entered, we really did have a lot of good entries. Keep it up!
We received twelve submissions this time 'round. Definitely an improvement on the last two, although we still must have had half the prospective entrants fall away in the closing days.
Entrants:
<ul>
<li>D_man</li>
<li>doodle</li>
<li>MrYoso</li>
<li>NineTnine</li>

I've just (finally) posted three tutorials which have been a long time coming:
<ul><li>Detailing Maps</li><li>Diagnosing Problems</li><li>Globals 2</li></ul>
Congratulations to their respective authors.

The new competition has been posted. Looks jolly fun to me.
I have finally actually coded the 'modding capabilities' section in users' profiles which many of you noticed mocked-up in Seventh's profile. Go and check the appropriate boxes in your profile.
Also, I've fixed the reply count issue leading to the "invalid thread" errors.

"Seventh monkey", who so kindly impersonated a staff member and spammed the forums, turned out to be jay-dk. His accounts have, of course, been suspended. In future, if people spam the forums, ignore the threads. Posting "OMG LOL HE IS SPAMMING WHERE ARE MOD?" is not helpful.
Edit: It has recently come to our attention (via IP tracing and whatnot) that we have, once again, been bombarded by a barrage of spam accounts. This act is not tolerated on this site and will result in banning.
However, I will not leave it there. The main instigator of this activity is none other than Jimmi (whom some of you know). What follows is a list of known aliases:
-Karate_Kat
-Coffee
-SaltyCrak
-Otto
-Crazed1
-Nuclear_weasal
-Evil-Eye
-TheClown
-Crazed1
-Forge
-Onslaught
-Orbb
-GreenHammer
-Battery
-sock_head
-Jasper
-Goose
-BeeblebroX
-The Protagonist
-3rd_Reich
-Donbannmeh
There is also the possiblity that there are many more. If you have any information, please contact either Ant, Seventh-Monkey or RabidMonkey.

I've added the tag "[s]", which provides <span style="text-decoration: line-through">strike-through</span> text, to the bbCode parser. You can use it in the forums and journals, etc., now.

Good news, everyone! Penguinboy<a/> has supplied us with a new Source tutorial, this one concerning the construction of 3D Skyboxes! Check it out <a href="http://www.twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=106">here.
Rather than create a new post, I've decided to tack this other bit of news onto this one: DarkKilauea's long awaited Blinding Tunnel Light Trick is finally online.
By the way everyone, if you've sent us a Tutorial Proposal and haven't heard anything about it for a while (be it after you've sent a draft, or if you haven't receieved a confirmation), please PM me and I'll go chase things up. Us mods have real lives too you know...

Good news, everyone! Captain P, Daubster and MuzzleFlash are now assisting Ant and I in marking up tutorials. Hooray! This will mean a quicker turn-around from draft to release.
