I am slowly starting to realize these forums are a total scam. It seems the "gurus" are more concerned with "promoting" the website and ca$hing in on the promotions then actually doing anything in terms of helping the community. Over 95% of all tutorials/maps/guides/etc on this sc2mapster are leeched from other sources, and then made to look like they were made here. Simple questions go unanswered by the guys who are meant to be helping out. The only conversation that goes on is the few 'in the know' guys who keep posting on how they want to blow eachother since they are so awesome. Its such a total fail.
Basically, none of your "gurus" really give a sh!t. As long as you keep generating site visits for them (which generates not only popularity but $$$ for them) they will continue to treat this "community" like their own personal ca$h cow and never give a sh!t.
If you want to see what a real community is like, its best you stick to the ones that have been tried and tested and have existed since before sixen and his gang decided to spam promote sc2mapster everywhere. You know, communities like TheHelperNet or The Hive Workshop, ones with real communities, helpful "gurus" and actual helpful content that isn't leeched without even giving the proper thanks/acknowledgments.
And oh boy don't get me started on what a cesspit the sc2mapster IRQ channel is like.
Are you serious, I always found sc2mapster to be helpful and full of original information. In fact, that's the whole reason I volunteered to be a moderator here. I highly doubt that Sixen thinks this community is a cashcow.
Also..
This community is formed by the users, everybody helps everybody IF THEY CAN.
Everybody here has the right to ask a question, noone has a right to demand an answer.
If you get an answer from one of the guru's, it's thanks to the community. If you don't get an answer, it's also thanks to the community.
meh... I can probably type a dozen more of these one-liners, but I think I'll stop now
Also, certain text styles automatically center horizontally, while others don't. If you want to know which ones center-align you can check out the Fontstyles.sc2style after extracting it from the right mpq (don't remember which one atm)
I'll attach the file here to make it easy for you :)
for as far as I know, you can't make your own styles (I have tried and failed :( )

you can extract them using this: http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html
they're all .dds files tho, so you either need a viewer that can display those or install the photoshop plugin.
I'm not entirely sure about this, but there might be a .dds plugin for irfan view available

I think it looks pretty nifty, especially in combination with those rocks around the edges of the cliffs

I'm annoyed when I read someone stating that Blizzard is intentionally screwing things up to maximize their profits.. (popularity sort for example)
I mean, where's the logic in that?

I don't know either, but reading this gives me visions of someone making gta:sc

Well, no need to copy/paste my triggers here, since it's pretty much the same setup as Kanaru posted.
