I agree with Shaun. Think about it, what if these servers just had valardes 4 maps. Theme wise alone, its just forest, city, forest, and guess what. City. With community maps, you can have an island, a desurt, and a snowy mountian in just three games. Talk about varity. and you know what they say.. All newbs hate community maps, and since you are a new member, I'll assume you hate community maps. However, each community map that is on the servers right now has had as much time, love, support, and creativity poured into it, maybe even more, than valardes four maps. Valarde may have invented MCSG, but he isn't an innivator (no offence valarde, just saying). Thats where community maps come in, they innivate like no map before it. They dare to test the limits of what MCSG is, and may even affect how everyone sees MCSG. Example, SG4 is a small map with limited chests. Sound familiar? It should, the concept is simular to breeze.
I now step down from the soapbox. Its your turn, Carter.
