Is that Windows 2000?
!casts and !streams act as good advertisement, I think they add value to chat.
Map vault is just a web view of the page http://content.faforever.com/faf/vault/maps.php?username=example so there shouldn't be any need for client side code to manage map uploading. I'm not sure when this...
I was able to open a perfectly good file dialog through the whats new page, so is code for uploading maps explicitly needed?
I agree, and being able to upload arbitrary files surely isn't something to be addressed in the client.
When the user connects to the map vault page they authenticate (in the clear) with name and password hash, see https://github.com/FAForever/client/blob/develop/src/vault/__init__.py#L59 So there is some authentication going on :)
