It's part of the initiation ritual
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)

How do I always manage to post at the top of the page break? It's just weird.

I'd imagine that breaks all those links at WotC, too.

Actually, no. The mods at Gleemax, managed to keep those maps, linked to by quotes from Seyon's posts, by the subsequent posts by guild members there, and thus hosted within Gleemax's system itself, rather than pointing links on the closed PB account.
However, the mods completely removed Seyon's posts otherwise, calling it a breach of the Code of Conduct, as a forum member on Gleemax.
Your linked maps in your post on that thread still point to those specific maps.
I know, because I checked.

Firstly, I know the guy (IM NOT HIM)
Ill tell him that ur all ****ed.
He just knew from the people at the thread on WotC.
Hes in Middle School with me (hes 14)
He also took em' down himself (and the Photobucket site).
He was very distraught about the whole incident, and he did say in the first post that he got them from the Cartographer's Guild.
He also has no life.

Good. Tell him he's welcome back here. But tell him to grow a sense of decency and honesty about using other people's stuff and he'll be fine.
Thanks for the information. Most of us here are fine with someone using our work in SOME cases. The big thing is that most people allow use IF for personal/non commercial use AND giving attribution(the photobucket account makes it seem as if he was the one doing the work)
Some of the maps posted here are actually not allowed to be redistributed as the artist has sold the rights. In those cases, some of the maps the fellow linked to could put him (his parents actually) into serious legal trouble as a few of those maps are owned by corporations(who gave permission for the artist to post to a specific site, here for example) and those corporations may end up contacting him. In general, if you find anything on the internet that you want to use, make sure who your getting it from has the legal ability to pass it on and you have the legal ability to use said stuff.
Now, with that said, if the kid (or you for that matter) wish to post up some work you did yourself and ask for help, feel free.
