it really seems to me like there's generally lower interest and motivation than it used to, but it may be just me and I'm usually seeing things only from the negative side. I mean, just now there is only a little bunch of us, and the difficulty of choosing something that will suit the already little bunch is already astronomical - unless my point of view on the matter is also shared by others - that is, I wouldn't mind demoing even downright crap stuff, because it's fun.
I think this forum has a much higher level of activity, and there are more active recorders than when we did the first few demo packs here. You just need a couple of guys who are keen to get a project finished (and thus willing to do the "filler" lmps needed to complete at least the Max table), and maybe a few others to record whatever seems of interest to them. I mean, the original MW pack was just Rich starting to record, and I did a fair few, and Opulent filled in a couple that remained. Stroller pack was just Kristian and myself having a bit of fun, and Vince adding a few before he got bored with the category.
On the subject of recording on "crap but fun" maps, that's a good point. Some maps that are objectively poor are fun to record on, much more so than some beautiful maps where it is a pain to record. Maps where the typical Max time is over 10 minutes should probably be avoided, unless there are some special circumstances that mean you have highly motivated recorders (e.g. sf2011, where the mappers themselves are the keen to record).
