Oh yeah
mIRC has a "free trial", but even after it expires, you can still continue to use it.

IRC
Is pretty much a chat service. To get on, you can use a web based client like mibbit, but I'd recommend you get a real client like mIRC [mirc.com] or xChat (I don't know the link for it off the top of my head but I will let you know when I find it.)
Once you download one of them, and set everything up, type /server irc.mountai.net in the editbox at the bottom.
When you've connected to the server, there are plenty of channels you can join -- the three main(?) ones being #n, #n-highscores, and #n-mapping. There are also other channels you can join, and you can see a list of all of them by typing /list in the edit box. To join a channel, type /join #channel (don't forget the #)
Anyways, IRC is good for talking to a lot of people in the community, and is faster than the forums or NUMA. It's also good if you want to collab, have someone playtest a map, and other things of that nature.

weeee
dude focus more on make a great atmosphere and flow, then worry about enemies and close calls second. It feels like you designed the flow/tiles around the enemies and not the other way like you should

Wow you do have a ton of potential
Very nice flow, and that you find creative way of finding new flow. Just work on keeping it constant and consistent! :)
2010-06-09
You have heaps of potential
Maybe try to cut down on the enemies a little. If you want a crazy hectic atmosphere that's fine, but most races tend to work better with themed enemies. (e.g. Tyr's Day uses floorguards)
Also, this [nmaps.net] may be of some use to you, if you're still trying to get the hang of flow.

Forgot something...
When I said "fake AF" on that one map, it was because there is someone on IRC called AF, so I wanted to be sure there was no confusion for other people who are on IRC. (You're not AF from IRC right?)
Anyways, I can't play this map right now because I'm typing this from my DSi, so I'll look at it tomorrow.

thats
really good for a second race. If your gonna use thwumps, try using them for something else besides running over them and keep working on aesthetics.
4.5^ for a second.

I said I was going to look at this
I really really like the drop past the floorguards -- probably my favorite part of the race.
