It's "relatively" big given the fact it's pretty old.

Perhaps you may have played the pre-227 Firestorm, from what I got told constantly it was pretty much complete and somehow better than what it is now (subjectivity). The 227 jump then happened and caused all kinds of delays on top of the mappack now not anymore available for UT (economically that's a pretty bad turn of events - I wouldn't even be able get the UT devs to popularize the release, when it gets out, on twitter cause it runs on Unreal1 and on an unofficial patch).

Lol not even close, please. Neither UT1 is that big anymore. There are many 20+ years old games that get attention even today by media or events, and Unreal isn't one of them.

Well when I played it there were some glitchy things here and there, but nothing major. Nothing that couldn't be ironed out by one or two people over a couple of months, maybe less...so long as no new stuff was being made. There was no real last level but there were several late campaign moments with epic battle sequences that each were on par with or better than any climax in anything released for Unreal at the time. I remember saying that the campaign could have had an abrupt ending at the point at which I stopped and still have had a way more satisfying ending than ONP or RTNP.
I wasn't a part of the project by the time the 227 conversion was being done.

So, the plans are to create a separate "main site" using Drupal, which has some progress done already, but is being held up by the fact that I'm chronically drained of sleep and prefer to play games & unwind in the free time that I have. The forums will remain a separate entity running on an upgraded version of phpBB3, which will sadly mean losing the custom styling & features and reverting to a more "default" look, which will take the community some getting used to. A more customized, stylized USP look for the forums will follow up after.
