I really don't understand why people(mostly project leaders) do not bother about the existance of the mod database (http://www.moddb.com/). You have the opportunity of advertising you campaign in your hands and you are ignoring it!? Having at least half of the unhosted projects registered there would certainly convince non-HLP people there that FS2 still does exist and people here at HLP still have efforts in modding it. I think that is one of the few public not-only FS2 site where we can lure some attention to FS2 and we have yet done, or what we are still doing.
-
While I tend to agree, alot of te projects in the hosted subsection are inactive, and are presumed dead.
The active ones however should pimp wherever possible.
-
We need "Campaign Cemetary", where all inactive mods/campaigns/whatever are dumped. Of course, we also need music there.
-
Thread hijacked too fast. :blah:
-
It's a fair point. I suppose I should add SoR and TMA on now that I'm finally actively working on them again (Previously I was sort of ignoring them in favour of MG).
-
I know about the moddb.
I just can't be arsed uploading anything to a site I have never even visited.
-
Time to visit it and see what you can do there?

Well, as Webmaster for the SWC, I feel i can accurately ortray my thoughts. Yes, it'd be great to have your projects listed there, but as i found while working with AHTW, i spend enough time on a website, that it takes time from the campaign. If i were to also list it there, i would feel obligated to update every so often. Even if that is only once a week, it is still detracting to time i could use to get a critical part of a mission done, or finish testing and move on. I feel that it is usefull for MOD's to have a website, and if you don't get hosting, a place like modDB is great, but too many things to maintain isn't. So I'd opt for , 'Depends on circumstances.' instead of Yes or No.

Maintaining a mod database entry is simple. Add some screenshots and post some news and check the number of visitors.

TI's up there, but I rarely update TBH.
-
TI looks like to be very promising in my opinion, by the way.
-
I uploaded NTEOP there (Topace, could use those comments, heh ;)). Definately got me some more exposure than I would have here (no offense to HLP).
-
Weren't you the first FS2 Campaign on that board? I remember when I joined up there were only a couple.
-
TopAce, one thing I have learned in my years as project leader here is that if you want people to do something, a whisper is far more effective than a megaphone. ;)

Why is that I have 11 people agree with me and no mods registered at the database?
