ok, when i first ventured onto the interent, way way back in like 1998, or whatever year it was, i went by a different name... the stupid name of "BigBadBinki", and then changed to "Nagash" for playing TFC.... but anyway, i decided to try out the powers of google. the name "BigBadBinki" is hardly your popular typical name you'd find anywhere, so i searched it and came up with 2 things 
1) my first ever publically released map, which was for the public TFC server UK Sutton, which was a quite popular n00b server at the time with only 12 player slots... ew.
anyway, my map was called prez_war, and you'd basically have no resupplys, just constantly spawning prez's, right in the thick of the action, and you'd need to keep hold of the multi-team flag for as long as possible, and since 2 hits from the umbrella would usually kill you, it made this really hard There was also teleporters built into the map for makingthe map loop on itself, as it had multiple platforms to fight on, but no ladders between them. here's the link i found....
http://tfc.wireplay.co.uk/index.php?pg=map&id=459
downloaded 199 times and for a map that only played on one server, of 12 people at a time, not a bad download amount I used to make the map change to it also, and was a small size, so ppl would download it and play straight off the server, so the amount of ppl playing it would be way above that
for all you TF2 ppl who have never played TFC, you can also see what the spy used to look like in the banner... the heavy and med are there to, but they are rather small to see.
2) I was quite surprised at this second like tbh... it lead to a forum thread containing a list of usernames that a hacker group was trying to hack back in 2007 sometime, and my username was in there :O ... that username is only appearing in 2 places atm, wireplay and yahoo, which is very weird... but well, if someones trying to hack me, they've had a grudge for like 8 years, cos i stopped using that name around that long ago... and i did piss a few ppl off way back then
