The Purpose of this Page
When I created this page roughly two years ago, I intended for it to be updated with the dates of last contribution, and a list of well-known maps for each, perhaps with a link to a category page if they have a lot of maps, like 710 or wataru. This is to give fans who like particular contributors (such as oudn or wataru, who are somewhat popular) a general idea as to whether or not their favorite author is still active. Please remember to do this. The information can be found in the .txt file that comes with the game. If it's in mojibake, you extracted the game incorrectly.
Furthermore, it's best to not speculate on what each author is doing, or their gender, or whether or not the fans really like them or not, unless it's verifiable information. As far as I know, for example, dedp, despite not actively adding maps anymore, still hangs out in the developers' thread on 2ch and chats with other contributors, so they are still very much involved in the development process.
Refrain from hagiography. This is a place for information, not a place to gush about your favorite author.
