I too am active in the community and sometimes beta test fan missions. Thief is my second favorite game of all time after Deus Ex. I have a dream of making my own fan mission one day, I think my idea of it is great but unfortunately I'm not creative and have too little patience for such things.
Seeing how active is the Thief community makes me sad that Unreal's is not anymore
