Nowadays, it seems like the forums only showcase Hypixel's maps because they know that they will become popular on youtube. It used to be that they showcased interesting new maps of any kind and made by any person. *ugh*
We have to second Ron's experience with this. At one point we decided to ask some people how the features are picked, and to our surprise, they soon after posted a topic saying to message them with maps people think are good enough. This was when Deja Vu really was the next big thing, getting mega downloads and great feedback in the most organic ways possible (before any big youtube attention or notable ratings). Our thread was clean, our request was polite, everyone who played it saw big things coming, and we got totally ignored. Luckily for us, the minecraft france forum also has features, and stratocrafteur (the guy who made the tourist) liked our map enough to put in a good word over there.
