I agree that I'd like to see ranked charts as a new topic, especially since (apparently) they're going to become the only way for ranked score, making it an important issue.
But I'd really like to see the community answer, "Why do you go for Ranked Maps?" Is it the personal recognition? The affirmation that your map meets a certain quality threshold? The challenge? To learn more about mapping? To participate in the community? To contribute to the growing list of maps? I'm sure we all have our motivations for doing so, even if we don't play the game proper.
