<div class="IPBDescription">Did you get this e-mail?</div>I sent this mail out to the <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com:90/ns/?action=community&subaction=mailing-lists" target="_blank">mapping mailing list</a>. We had problems with the mailer again but they have since been fixed. Did anyone else here get this message?

We're focusing on a mapping release first, which I hope you guys are pumped by. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

Hey everyone,

This is just a quick note to talk about a few things:

1. We've made some changes to our mailing list configuration and I wanted to make sure it still works. This has been quite a bit of work but once it's rocking it's going to help out a LOT. Information about mapping and submissions been a bit hard to come by in the past and I think this mailing list will really help.

2. Because this is the mapping list, I feel obligated to give you a little mapping info, not just bombard you with test messages. So...if you were around for NS pre 1.0 days, you might remember something called the "NSTR". This was the Natural Selection Technology Release and it included a ns.wad, basic commander mode, our particle system, and our mapping guidelines. We released this to the public mapping community so you could get started making NS maps as early as possible, and so we could have some great maps to ship with the game when it was ready. The first order of business for the next NS game will be to release something similar so you guys can get busy.

3. Finally, in case you didn't get the e-mail about the testing the new site, here's the info:

<a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com:90/ns" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com:90/ns</a>

It will then ask you for a login and password. Enter the following:

login: SiteTest
password: T4keTw0

Let's hope this message gets out to you!

    How did you get on the mapping list in the first place? I'm sure I would have signed up if it was well publicised, but if it's an oldskool thing then I'm probably not on it, so ignore my vote! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    I didn't get an email but I accidentally hit "show results"

    Edit: I also just subscribed to the list, so disregard this.

    Okay, never saw those mailing lists before.

    P.S. Very apt that the mapping mailing list has a screenshot from Powerhouse (aah Nexus, you will be mizzed!)

    I voted "no", but afterwards I went to the link and saw that I wasn't subscribed. Wasn't there a mapping mailing list back in the day? Pretty sure I was signed up to that back then. Maybe I'm thinking of another site... Oh well.

    NSTR2 was released a few years ago. This'd be NSSTR1.

    How does one go about joining this mapping mailing list? I'd like to keep abreast of the latest developments in the world of mapping. Might get my ###### around to making a map. -.-
