Just thought I would say 'hiyas'.
Im an aging gamer/mapper. I stated making maps at a young age with Wolfenstein3d, so that should date me pretty well. I took a 3 year break from HL Steam ruined it for me and I got bored. But getting bored with WoW brought me back in Oct08 for a change of pace.
Most my experiance has been with sniper maps for TFC back when that had a sizable following. But, I have been trying new things and starting making more traditional gameplay maps.
(If you really want a list of all the maps I have made, I can try to scrounge up a list for you)
If you look through my maps and compare them with others played at the time, you will find I go against a lot of the conventions. Convention for the sake of 'thats the way its always been' or 'everyone else is doing it' bores me to tears and sometimes pisses me off depending on how blaitant it is. So, I make the maps I want to play in and hope others enjoy the experiance. I mostly focus on realism now and contrast between lights and darks for lighting.
Looking back, I have made some standout maps that stood the test of time and I have made some that fell off the face of the planet in such a way that even I got rid of a copy.

aka Pink_Panther (been using that name since 1998 now that I think of it. Ten years? really? dear god. *goes into the im old closet and hides*)
