Oh man, don't make me read all this nonsense. Yet another topic by this moron, saying in advance that "he's no expert" and then proceeding to act like he knows better than everyone else. First of all, he's an idiot... a megawad, by definition, is not a 32 level map set. It's been widely accepted by the community that anything with at least 15 maps is a megawad.
What the moron means is that full 32 level map sets, are project killers, but he's once again wrong on that. The only thing that kills a project, is its project leader and its concept. As long as inexperienced, unqualified, newly registered retards are allowed to start community projects, many of them will continue to fail due to lack of participants, or poor management.
Another reason why some projects get delayed or cancelled, is due to noobs who stall their maps and waste everyone's time, but that has nothing to do with the number of maps in a project. You can have a 10 map CP, but if you've allowed some unproven noobs to participate, you may still have a bunch of people delaying the release. The truth is, deadlines should be kept at all costs. If someone doesn't keep the deadline, then the project should be released without them, no matter how many maps are submitted on schedule. Like i said, it's all about the project lead. If he's a soft bitch and waits for months after deadline just because he's missing a few maps, that's his problem.
Then we have the concept of a CP. A good, fresh idea will always draw a lot of mappers, and have a bunch of others waiting on the bench, in case someone quits the project so they can replace him. On the contrary, for every good idea, there are a bunch of dumb ones, like Amalgoom, Alphabet Doom, Box Doom, 10 Lines Massacre, fucking Gayhem, and so on... and even some of them have no problem getting completed.
So honestly, i don't know what the fuck is this faggot blabbing about. Like i said, he just wants to come across as the enlightened one... the guy, who has philosophical thoughts for the betterment of the mapping scene, despite him being a fucking nobody who doesn't even understand what he's talking about.
