i hate nibbits because they're giving me a difficulty on uploading a map :D what I love on nibbits is that, I can download many maps :D
Good SC2 tools .Good Support.
Too expensive Avatar .maybe sometime discount on virtual shop
goods about nibbits : well organize catagory on maps which allow us to search the map easily we want and more time savings , there's alot lots of custom maps and mods more us to download too!
and yet so far i did not find anything i hate about nibbtis, i'm happily using it, just that the time to download the map needs to wait a while before i can click "save"
I like nibbits nibbler 0.1.2 because it makes it much easier for me. I also like the layout of the site. Everything is easy to find and is in a convenient place. This is my favorite place to get maps.
What i don't like, is now much exp u need to get to a new level... :)
edit: just got my key. :) so give the key to someone else that needs it...
Congratulations to terran58 on winning a key!
WoW i dont believe this !!!!!
with my comment !?!?
anyway thank you very much
i will try my best
Nibbits has great tools thanks to it i found a proberly updated luncher to play sc2 but only vs AI.
Allot of nice maps in wc3 and SC :)
Bit complicated to get around the forums when you first visit the site but gets pretty simple when you're used to it.
I won't make this complex or extravagent, but i like Nibbler because everything is easy and simple so even a noob like me can easily work my way around everything here, and thanks to your huge database, i can learn of the game and how everything works. Well i hope i get the key, thank you very much for taking your time to reading this.

The best aspect of nibbits for me is the map database and how it is ran. The collective effort of downloads, ratings, ranks, comments all give good feedback in finding some fun UMS to play. Personally for me the map database has allowed for our community, Op NFLx on east to grow, with more resources to spread the maps we play, and find new fun ones from the database.
If theres one aspect I don't like as much(and i'm not %100 if this is true), but is not being able to change the name of the map. IE: I uploaded a banning game but its named BI or something of that variation. There might be a fix to this, but I havent looked into it much and I understand how nibbits gets the name for map, and like that it automatically gives its name.
Looking forward to expanding my SC2 knowledge once I buy the game from here, hopefully can find some interesting SC2 maps on here too.
@OpNFLx Find the ban and click "Edit" right below the name. It's kind of like a wiki, but changes require approval if you're not a moderator/author of the map.
Ah Nibbits.
Right when you enter the site, you see some pretty pictures that direct you to where you want to go.
Then, you don't just see a list of maps and advertising. You see one ad that isn't obnoxious., and a short list of popular maps.
Then you go look at all the maps. Wow, they are actually organized in a way that you can just browse, instead of only searching for the map you want.
And then you find your favorite map, and just have to tell everyone about it. So what do you do? You can review it, and people actually pay attention to it!
After you finish that nifty review you wrote, you see that you got some gold! ZOMG. You can buy stuff with it!!
Then you go post in a thread, and find out how nice the community is.
Downsides to nibbits:
-only average forums, nothing special
-some annoying bugs
-I haven't tried nibbler yet
-uhh, can't think of anything else. Keep up the good work =D
Well, I like the starcraft theme of this website, many websites don't have a good thing. I can also use the easy to use search where I can download, offline ai cracks, tools, and lots of other sc2 related things. Overall, the site is very organized, uncluttered and easy to use. I just think that you should add a page chooser in forum threads and delete the outdated downloads.

When I first came upon nibbits, I saw, at the upper part of the page, a banner saying something like "What have banners every done to you? Please support nibbits and turn off adblock". I liked that and, though I still use adblock, I turned it off for nibbits. The website's advertising is unobtrusive, non-registered users can download files without going through any advertisement infested hassle; if all websites were like nibbits, adblock would be irrelevant.
One thing that bothers me, however, is the character limit when posting. It makes it difficult to be thorough when writing a comment.
Thanks for the great website!
@Autocracy The character limit is something that is always under debate. However, the higher your level, the less likely you'll hit the limit. I guess it's just a simple way for us to stop abuse and spam. The filters are very harsh if you're anonymous, and then slightly less harsh based on your level (all filters, including the anti-spam).
Congratulations to OpNFLx on winning the second beta key. We will continue this contest as soon as we receive more :)
I also want to thank everyone for the amazing feedback. I take every suggestion and criticism seriously, and will definitely be reviewing some aspects of the site based on feedback here :)
I like how Nibbits is very easy to use, it isn't randomly thrown together like some other sites that I know. Also, it doesn't take long to load on my rather slow connection. And lastly... Nibbler! =D
One thing that could be improved is the registration system; when I registered this account, I clicked submit and it took me back to the login/register page with no confirmation of whether or not it worked. So I tried to log in, and only then did it tell me that I needed to activate my account.

ah can't believe didnt notice that, well with that said that is a very helpful aspect of nibbits then, it will allow me to enter some edits for some older maps I saw on here that I have played before.
>_>

What i love about Nibbits?
Well i love is that it´s nearly allways up to date on the latest maps and Launchers for the beta and the newest trainers.
I have experienced some difficulties when trying to get into the site sometimes.

Nibbits is just pure awesomeness
The maps are clearly classified and easy to find
Furthermore the comments and the ratings of the maps are useful
The ranking system of the maps is a nice touch to the site
The only thing that i despise about this site is the very small population of people who gives harsh comments for not knowing something
But most of the other users try to help others like me which i am grateful for
Thats why i think this site is astonishing
what i love:
the simple design of the website.
u dont have to log in to download something or comment
huge database (maps... replays...)
every kind of tools
excelent support (if you have a problem with a tool for example they answer very quick)
u can see admins around making comments, posting maps, etc..
what i hate (mmm this is the hard part):
most maps are unrated or have too few rates (ye i know that its not the website fault but i just hate it)
thats all i guess :/
pd: srry for my bad english..
I love the fact that I don't have to be a user to DL your content. Plus, the site is user friendly and it makes it that much easier to go about playing SCII.

I just joined here, so here are some of my first impressions.
-feedback-
XP/Gold: I found the gold/xp system to be mildly confusing, and think that maybe you guys could make it easier to understand just what it's useful for.
Interface: Like others have said, the interface of the site is easy to understand. It's very clean looking, and when you're trying to get somewhere, you can get there.
Ads: I haven't seen any ads with scantily dressed women, which I'm grateful for. Others may disagree with me here, but I find that they distract from the main focus of the site, and whatever you're doing.
Announcements: The orange bars at the top are clear and concise.
Map browsing: You should probably put more of a description in on what the different map types are. Is defense referring to tower defense, or a normal game where you defend your base? I've found maps of both types there.
Downloading maps: Easy. Click the button, and it downloads. No hassle.
Colors: This is something kind of dumb to mention, but I will anyway. They don't clash. Some sites do, and you can't see anything and its distracting.
Comments: Its easy to see that you click in the box and start typing, then hit post comment, but why is there a preview box? Its like seeing my message cloned two inches away. I realize that using text formats will put code like <b> into your comment, but that really isn't in the way too much. I think that having a whole box next to the comment dedicated to showing you that this text will be bolded is a little tedious looking. It would be simpler to use some kind of text box that formats your text as you type it.
--end feedback--
Yes, it was kind of long. Those were my first impressions, the things that stood out.
what I love? this is the only site that gave me chance (files) to test out starcraft
what I hate? I wont getting a betakey from this contest
