http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iY5h3aio24 Check it out for yourself, that's picceta's map alright, found here: http://www.forgehub.com/forum/competitive-maps/32892-haven.html What's going on...hmmm lol I like dem though....
...? Read the credits sir. "Forge creator = anonymous" They never actually spend enough time to figure out who the forger is. That's what I don't like about them. They did the same thing with Reflex by Matty.
Because they were lazy and didn't look up his name. If they stole it, they would have put their names there.
How to catch a map thieve. Yeh, I remember those videos. I miss them. Does Picceta know? H3 forges has indeed been caught stealing maps before.
I think they say its anonymous on purpose. They did the same thing to Duel of the Fates, and even after I told them it was mine and proved it, they neglected to put it up in the video description, so I think it's on purpose.
The reason why we don't put the names on the maps is because every two seconds people claim that the map is their's. In order to prevent giving credit to the wrong person, making you guys even angrier at us, we just put anonymous to avoid this confusion. We know sometimes that these are very well known maps, but we stick to just putting anoymous on there. We know that one of our own was putting his name, and claiming the maps as his own. There was just some miscomunication, he said that he made them, and he really didn't, this was the reason why we started the entire Anonymous thing. I'd like to personally apologize to you guys, as I do download a lot of maps from here. I hope this clears up some of the confusion, and once again, on behalf of H3F, I sincerly apologize.
Well, if their featured with that name on it, obviously their the real one...that's not too hard to figure out.
should've just said that No worries, love your show, wouldn't have posted it on here if I didn't. Keep up the good work, but I suggest adding a simple thing that says full credit to map maker, not just anonymous....it sounds suspicious, knowhatimean?
Gotta admit, I am kinda pissed about it. It's blatently mine, it even has my name in the map description, it is deliberate and they're getting all the downloads without giving me proper credit. Not sure if reporting it will do any good but I'll try.
Yeah, it could probably be considered map theft, but they are too lazy and don't even bother looking up the map creator to give them credit. I've even posted on the video for Reflex saying that this is Matty's map and they need to give him credit with a link to the FH thread. They deleted my comment the next day. It could probably be map theft because they are refusing to give credit to the forger.
Picceta makes great maps, why did someone have to steal one? I honestly have no suggestions and telling just doesn't seem enough.
yeah that is blatant map stealing. even if they are not sure who exactly made the map because they themselves dont trust people stealing maps we here at forgehub point out stolen maps as soon as possible so they should trust the map creator
And most people choose to steal the best maps usually FH maps, and it's really obvious that people can't make them. Plus, after the game, ask them how they did something on the map lol. "Uh..."
Can you guys not read? Read the thread before you start throwing wild accusations after reading the original post. We already did that, and got an answer. If you mightve misunderstood what I said, I just meant that they should edit the descriptions of the old ones with the authors (from the files on FH, those you can trust). I wasn't insinuating that they were trying to steal maps once he explained himself, but I still think they need to do put in the author's names...their definitely correct if their off FH.
They're machinima makers with no patience to ask for permission. Everyone who said that they stole and they are epic fail you are walking contradiction. I think they're being polite by leaving people anonymous, do you want even more friend requests and random invites? I think not. People can still get away with stealing maps on Forge Hub. Not every forger signed up on Forge Hub. For all you know they just looked at the Forging 101 and left forever. There are other countless forging sites.
To be honest, their aren't anywhere near "countless forging sites." Most others have specialties; racetracks, MLG, switches etc. There aren't a crap load of other forge sites otherwise that deal with everything. Plus for most maps made on Forge Hub are also tested by other Forge Hubbers so others see maps as they're being made so we usually know they aren't stolen. Also most stolen maps on Forge Hub are usually caught in the first hour or two they're posted. While we may not be the only forging site, we have by far the largest forging community; some of which go on other forging sites as well so they'd recognize something being posted on here that was posted by someone else on a different site.
