Hi all, we're finally back with the results of a new map testing session. A total of 21 maps were tested, and 4 have been found good enough to stay on the server.

On a related matter, our map uploader at http://mtasa.littlewhitey.com/upload.php was broken last week, but is now working again, thanks to raz0.
