I was scrolling down, looking at custom maps, when I saw this!
(http://d.imagehost.org/0507/To_many_downloads.jpg)
It cannot possibly be correct. I refreshed the page to make sure I was seeing it right. Artillery (http://knucklecracker.com/creeperworld/mapcomments.php?id=3493&page=) has 3314 downloads, while the #1 map on the toplist (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=3833.0)has 1165. And it is not even half way down the first page! Maybe an error...
Someone was messing with URLs.
Looks more like messing with scripts, as we have seen for some forums topics as well, or people who for some reason want to seem online all the time....

Wonder who... (and it isn't me, btw)
It is VERY easy to write a macro to download a map. That could only be 20-60 mins of a script running!
What an lame thing to do !
I like to see how many real downloades my map has ,
and compare them to how many posted scores it has .
It gives an hint of the difficulty of the map ,
depending on who has posted an score to the map =P
Notice how it only has 18 scores. . .
THAT MUST BE A HARD MAP!!@!!@!!@@!@!
Or faked. Probably faked. ;)
i could likely get a lot of downloads just spamming my middle mouse, but this!
it wasn't me, if your thinking that. i havent been on here enough to do that, nor would i be so .... i mean, i get plenty of downloads already.
someone should tell virgil so he can fix it. but we shouldn't bother him...
Some bored kid may think he's funny. :-\
probably

I think the more important question about that screenshot is:
Why do you have a Google AND Bing toolbar installed when neither is even needed since you already have the Google search box built in at the upper right corner of the screen?
Holy lack of vertical space Batman!!!
(I'm so anal about it, I even moved my start menu bar to the left side of the screen, lol.
This is my 11" Screen at 1280x768)

;D. That gave me a bit of a laugh.
I do not have bing anymore, in fact I have gotten rid of it a couple times. But after a few weeks it pops back up again. But I just delete it again. :P It is a good idea to put your start screen on the side and not the bottom.

I have 1366x768, the vertical space is next to nothing, TBH. I've experimented w/ left-side toolbar/right-side toolbars for a bit, but they never end up working because I like to switch between windows a lot and my cursor automatically moves down, instead of left/right, to get to the bar...
Put your monitor on its side and use a screen driver that is able to rotate your display 90 degrees back. ;)
Desktop publishers often work with these kind of screens (at least I know they did in the past; Apple used to manufacture rotatable monitors and they probably still do).
I never liked wide screen to be honest. I still have a huge 4:3 tv at home....

I'll also have fun typing on a sideways laptop too... :P
I <3 widescreen when there's enough vertical space to boot.
Also... why don't you have seat right over there.... in the chat (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/chat/)...

Agreed. I had to force myself to keep it that way for a while. It just took getting used to. Now I don't even notice it unless I am using a different computer.

Remembers me of when one of our classmates found a button that allowed screen rotation at school, they left them all sideways/ upside down XD
