Then you don't know the history behind Unit_2's posts. The kid's got heart & fire, but he posts a new map idea like once a week. He really really wants a map that people embrace, but his graphic skills need a bit of improving before he's going to make it. And he usually abandons his ideas before they evolve into anything.
Unit_2 - seriously, download the photoshop trial and practice it. Your life would be more complete if you understood that software.

That sucks, i mean i understand the want to make something like this (i got my own ideas

) because its something that millions of people will use, thousands of times. But the best way is for quality, not quantity (
or: better yet, both!).
I wouldnt suggest using photoshop unless he actually plans on buying it because its pretty expensive. I know that there are some cheep ones out there that are almost as good.
after looking around it looks like the real problem is that Unit_2 doesnt actually
start the map until his 3rd or 4th update. Then when people dont like some things, he gives up. People will say "yes" to his ideas, because what harm will it do. But they need to see a full map (at least the teritories) before actaully throwing your idea out to everyone.
So yea, go and find some good software

practice

make a map that could potentially make it on the site (i mean that it is finished except for the many complaints that you might recieve. In theory: it should be able to go on the site as soon as the first post is out there, excluding coding...however that works.)
So thats what i picked up after searching around for a little while....i hope im not compeletly wrong!
