Mod Downloads forum

[Epistolary Richard]

The Forge has always been intended for mods in development, limiting each mod to one thread a piece. However, the mixture of mods in development, mods completed and mods with releases but still in development can make it difficult for mod-users looking for something to play to find out what's available for download and what isn't.

As a result, we're currently working on a Mod Downloads forum which will complement the current Forge (for mods in development) and Mod Discussion (for mod announcements and many other things). Each new version of a mod will have its own thread and no threads without a link to a relevant download will be allowed.

This forum will be integrated with a Mod Downloads area of the Link Database - so links to new downloads will be entered there by the modder who will be able to associate it to various sub-categories to allow for easy browsing. When a staff member reviews that entry a new thread will be opened in the Mod Downloads area and the content copied in.

To allow mod-users fair notice about the mod they're downloading certain information will be required in each thread - namely the title, brief description, version compatibility, credits and conditions of use. New entries that don't include at least this information will not be approved for the Links Datbase nor transferred to the Mod Downloads forum and the modder will be contacted.

Replies will be allowed to threads - however they should be in regards to issues with downloading and compatibility issues. Modders are encouraged to post news announcements with extra content on the Mod Discussion forum and also to keep thei Forge thread updated with the latest links.

Please feel free to ask questions or make comments here - also we're open to suggestions for the sub-categories that mod-users would like to browse downloads by.
