We really need to review our assets and tutorials.
Off topic, but since DrSuperEvil brought it up:
I think the tutorial section could really use a major overhaul, right now it just feels like a massive heap of threads that doesn't really serve a purpose unless you know exactly what you're looking for. It might be difficult to find a suitable solution to this, sub-forums for each category might help but could become really convoluted. Organization could also get confusing if it crosses multiple categories (example: Texture By ID could fall into art, data, and/or triggers)
If there was a way to set the category as a tag and a rating system on each thread that could work, but I believe I read somewhere that mapster runs on Curse's special language or software or something so I don't know what's possible...
If anything I think adding a section in the Announcements on the Homepage for Assets and Tutorials could drive traffic to these areas and inspire people to try something new in their maps.
I tried to download this library http://www.sc2mapster.com/assets/md5-hash/files/5-hash-lib-2-0-1/, but received message "file not found". I found that some other files has the same issue. Is it dark time for sc2mapster? A lot of stuff can be broken :(

Formally Kinkycactus
@ZombieZasz: Go
And if a more proper search methods were done among assets rather than switching by letter, that would be just good.
We recently moved to the Curse CDN, the Curse devs are aware of the issue, and should hopefully have it resolved Soon(TM).
It's still does not work... :( RAGE :(
