I don't know how many of you have heard of this website but it's supposed to be a database of every mod for every moddable game. There are lots of lovely links to all kinds of Half life mods etc but when you type in Freespace this is what you find.

I've already added MindGames to the list (Click here to view) and I'll add TMA/SoR once I'm a little further along but I think that having more mods on the list can't help but raise the games profile a little amongst the sort of people who may have played FS2 but probably think that the community is dead.

I'm not proposing the site to replace HLP in any way but it's not a bad idea to have another site pimping our projects too. Unhosted projects may especially want to take notice.

Why not change the cycle then? It only took me about an half an hour to pull the MG site on there together. Most of the work was already done for me after all.

[color=cc9900]I don't think putting stuff on there would help much though. I mean, I hadn't even heard of it. So how many people would actually go there and search for Freespace who aren't actually community members already like yourself?[/color]

Ummm...there's tons of OTHER people there, too. Yes, exactly, other people. As in more people for the community.

It's not ALL about just providing a place for current members to go view a mod. You CAN have new people looking at them, that aren't currently members of HLP or the community at large.


EDIT: BTW, Nova is my pet project :D :drevil:

Any news I post about MG would go up on the main page. That's certainly going to get us some exposure. If all the campaigns (including those who have actually released something like Inferno or TBP) put a page up we'd definately be noticed.

Checking the MG page I notice that I've been Modwatched by two names I don't recognise as belonging to people in the community so obviously some people noticed MG's appearance.  

Putting in listings for Star Wars or TBP would mean that searches for those would point at FS2. Definately something worth having.

UT was the guy who pointed me at the place but I definately think it's worth pointing everyone else at it. :)

I just don;t have the time to do anything of this ilk justnow, much as I'd like to add CoW or some of my standalone mods.  I have too much stuff competing for my attention......

It's not like it takes a lot of work. You register the stuff, add a couple promo images, and you'r done. You could put a little thing that says "check page for updates" on it.

I think we should start a commitee or somethin dedicated to registering the stuff.

Even Quake 3 had FAR more mods released than listed on that website. I guess the other games have the same .... fewer mods posted there than as many exists.

And what's the harm of taking 30 minutes out of your incredibly busy schedule to register your mod, and provide a potentially much larger user database for both you and Freespace?

Is it REALLY such a big deal to register it?

With some exceptions we've had quite a nice influx of helpful talented newbies recently.

He didn't get here due to 'publicity' like that. He got here 'cause someone at VWBB *applies death stare* pointed him here :)

I can see plenty of people dropping in, and a lot of them have great potential. We need all the publicity we can get, and even 'troublesome' newbies have their benefits: they keep the other community members busy moderating and keeping flames to a minimum. And they're there to make things interesting and entertaining, of course. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
