I remember excessive plus mod since years ago, though I didn't need to have it installed to play on servers, I remember playing on servers without it, just running plain unmodified Quake 3.
EDIT: But yeah I remember most of servers ran mods that changed how weapons worked, health and other stuff. Most of servers I played were with modified gameplay but there were some vanilla servers, too.

Anyway few days ago I tried out a few custom maps in Single Player mode using /spmap command. The problem is that after you complete 4 or so maps, the SP menu gets glitched and starts adding locked tiers and messes up stuff. This was a problem that also happened years ago when using mods that add new tiers to the game, so I thought that playing this way wouldn't mess up the game. From now on I decided to simply play from the Skirmish menu as there is no point in playing custom maps in SP mode at all, Skirmish does pretty much the same thing but also allows you to customize bots, set fraglimit, timelimit, play in TDM, 1V1 and CTF modes and so on. The problem was that I only wanted to have medals stored in SP menu from all these maps but it's okay, I can live without that.
For Team Arena, I remember making a SP patch years ago that allowed you to play original maps in SP menu that weren't found before in the SP menu, those maps being Distant Screams, Final Strike and Beyond Reality. Of course I also did a Threewave patch as well but ultimately I decided it was pointless, so I stopped making patches, as you can already play them from Skirmish menu (in this TA case, it's called Start Server). Sure it was nice to store all these stats in SP menu but I don't see the point anymore.
As for me, I am still fine and still fixing the votes from past. Next month I start the second year of college and once again I will be busy. I will still visit the site when I have free time, so don't worry. I should be able to finish with voting maps the next week, anyway.

Anyway there is something I don't understand. I know there are 2325 releases in total but then why my reputation is 2326 and I have 2327 votes in total? I don't understand why there is a difference of 1 point between each. Was there a map removed that I had voted on it in 2011 and now I can't vote anymore but it still remembers my vote? I am curious.
EDIT: I'm referring to maps that were removed and can't be found anymore, such as reviews 127 and 133. They can't be accessed and there are more that were reviewed but I haven't counted them.

Basically, you got +1 Rep. for your own release and +1 Rep. for all the other maps. Then -1 from the total releases when you asked for your own listing to be removed. Because of the rareness of removing a release, I just left the +1 Rep. for votes already cast on the removed listing.
For the record, there are currently 13 releases that have been removed from ..::LvL for one reason or another. That is why the "id" for the most recent map is 2338 but there are only 2325 releases available.
And yeah I did know about those 13 removed releases, that's why I mentioned the missing reviews 127 and 133.
I have a small request: can you modify my profile to remove the maps I downloaded from past? I don't want to have any downloaded maps on my profile and there doesn't seem to be a way to remove them.
