Account System
I like the idea of getting a unique ID, but don't you think forcing members to use their IGN is a bit... well... I'm not comfortable with revealing that (I'm sure quite some people are). Maybe a private IGN for the admins to see and then a public display name, something like the MCF?
Guides
When this site is finally functional and all guides are complete, you may want to consider doing guides of other non-Vechs series. I know the domain name is superhostile and all, but the scope could be broadened to CTM in general.
Content Contribution
Do you need to be an active gamer to apply for this? I don't play very often, and I die and tunnel a lot, but I can be quite good at areas not involving large amounts of mobs in small spaces, like Legion Halls. (Short version: I suck 50% of the time.) Also, post the full requirements or preferred qualities of such a person so we can see them, instead of the "oh, we will tell you when we do" system that the MCF has in place.
General Stuff
A bunch of spelling errors were found, especially one in the blue box on the register page. I can't remember which word it was, but I know it was at the top of the form.
Overall, really excited, although not much seems to have gone on for the ~ 3 weeks I have been absent.

You do not necessarily have to be an active Super Hostile player, even though it would be highly recommended and encouraged. You can always contribute to the general tips and tutorials section instead of actual gameplay.
We are not currently planning to expand our guides to other CTM maps, since this is specifically dedicated to Super Hostile. It might be a possibility in the future to make a separate but connected site for this purpose.
For the account system, we do understand the system is currently not practical and seemingly strict, therefore we will look for alternatives to it. IGN might still be required, but not available for public view.
I think a big topic with this website is going to be the main focus. If you're making this website as a guide it has to be very central and focused. I am a supporter of the idea of turning this into kind of a mixed bag CTM guide instead of just Super Hostile, especially because if the idea you're going for immediately works out, you could have written guides by different people of all maps within a matter of a few weeks. This time would be much shorter than the time to update previous maps. Also, I agree with the idea to create a connected separate website for the purpose of making these separate guides, however, I would prefer to draw attention to other map series. There is a wide variety of CTM maps out there and shining a spotlight on one person is very centralized and creates an enviroment where it is harder for new map makers to gain any attention. I will say, however, that I do not believe that Vechs is not a good map maker. He came up with the genre built on what others have done and with some good old-fashioned ingenuity. The CTM genre has now broadened and become a complete genre of maps. What we call a CTM map has broadened from collecting wool to collecting records, books, custom items, and other various items. It is my firm belief that wear and tear will take its toll on this concept.
Well now that that rant is over, I can begin to ponder my suggestion. My plain suggestion is to broaden horizons, and as previously stated, that even though the domain is superhostile.net, you may reconsider the original implications of the guide along with this recreation.
Thank you for enduring my long post, I hope you consider my opinion or at least shed some more light on what you really mean for this to become.
Type-signed, Technic.

Hey there, all. I stream CTMs as well as other indie games, Minecraft servers and probably that's it. I'm your supreme overlord too so I command you to CHECK ME OUT: www.twitch.tv/techniclepanther
You might have just convinced me. With an almost unanimous opinion on this subject, the most logical thing to do is create a global CTM guide website, especially since Vechs took a "break" from Super Hostile.
I'll keep everyone posted, as usual, and see what I can do.

...we hope. Wondering about progress lately, and the IGN thing. I think the site will be very useful once it is actually up and running, but for now... well... we just want to know that something is happening and you're not on hiatus, just like pretty much every other mapmaker I know of.
I know I probably don't have the authority to say this, but you sir, deserve to be an admin on the website once it's up.
Haha, thanks! I'm always trying to keep up to date on the forum thread as well as the website!

Dang, I wish I knew that much about HTML. Since we're on the topic of school, I'm very busy with school, exams are coming in about two weeks and I generally am online for about 3 hours a week, in addition to the fact that I'm 14 so I may not be able to contribute regularly. I'd still like to help although I won't have the ability to do that very often. Does this disqualify me?

Currently the only position that would be available is "official guide" writers/editors, so as long as you have experience with any CTM maps and you can write good guides, you can sure contribute.
I would love to be an "official guide" writer as I have many tips and tricks as well as a knack for writing. Is there a way you can sign me up?

There's no real way for application at the moment, but you can send me a short private message with your expertise with CTM maps, and I'll see what I can do.

I'm currently working on a "prototype" of the website, experimenting with various designs. I'll show a screenshot of one so you guys can give feedback in a few days.

Thanks for keeping us updated. I was beginning to worry...
Ooh. This is neat. Very helpful for new members to the community who want to beat some of the more popular maps but aren't very good. May I suggest adding some PvE tips somewhere, either here or the website, when you get time? Knowing what to do is great, but when everything spirals out of control (Which it so often does) you need a backup plan.

Perhaps you could add some tips when the website is done, it will be a highly community based website with official website guides as well as community guides and tips. At least I'm pretty sure that's the idea. Confirmation, Enotho?

Yes, that's still the plan.
And how about we add a section for map reviews?
