That says it all. Goodbye UT. Your contest sucked, everyone knew the winner months ago and you killed a whole bunch of extremely promising mods because you couldn't protect them from your own stupid community despite leagues of evidence. You let wars go on between mods, you did nothing with code theft and you awarded scum in the early stages that wanted nothing more than a few bucks, despite chat evidence being sent to you etc again. You even had a rule in your Contest that you would take no part in this. Well good job and good luck with your game, it looks by every stat I see, nobody really cares about UT as it always was. Maybe you will have another shot come Unreal 3, but as far as I'm concerned you have the wrong people in the wrong position in your company. Half-Life 2 has been out how long? And they already beat your population by more than 6x! Now what is UT stuck with? A bunch of clone mods. Wooo!! God, I don't regret leaving UT at all. Best damn choice I ever made. Now if only I could sell this useless CDR version I have of the game.

Do you know how many mods complained of "Strike-Force" team? These guys are the biggest code thiefs in UT. Since I left UT community and still know some that are making mods, I have heard these bastards are kings at stealing everyones ideas. I have heard when you play SF you can feel at times like you are playing Faceoff. ROFLMAO! And from a lot of people who have play SF they all think it's crap. This whole contest was a joke from the beginning, but I guess you would have had to be a part of it to really get the feeling.
