We had a lot of great entries to the map contest and a lot of fun testing them. It was very hard to narrow things down to three finalists. We eliminated a lot of great and fun maps because they didn't quite meet our criteria, but you may enjoy playing them more than some of the finalists so be sure to go have a look, play around, and add the ones you like to your favorites!
These three maps are our ... Read More

I decided to play around with php coding today and wrote a little bot checker to see what bots have been active within the past seven days and give their online status. For now this data will appear on the right-hand side of every page, I may move it to it's own page in the future. I'm glad to see some of the bots are still active, I know some programmers have wanted an API upgrade. I hope you find ... Read More

Dates will be announced here on the WeeWarTimes.com site so be sure to grab the RSS feed if you are a feed ... Read More
