I can't say I know how you feel, but I see exactly what you mean and honestly if I wasn't at least slightly optimistic in the way I am and I would probably feel the same way.
These days, though, I don't even want to interact with the community much. Some of them are simply teenagers who are, or were, going through a lot, maybe, some of them are children, some of them may be argumentive adults, whatever... They are all human beings, obviously, but not a lot of them I can get along with so well, I guess? I don't let that get in my way, I mean, since I have some friends on here I like to hang out with... But without them, I think I may feel the same way as well.
I know what you mean already by all the creations being kinda wasted effort, though, almost all of the time that being maps... If only someone at least had the source code, to change the system and stuff so there can be more room for maps. Maybe something similar to Impressive Title.
Err, I'm kinda rambling here, but yeah. That's just my personal opinion, but I bid you farewell Churro.
