GDay Nexus Team. TLDR; (the) "Nexus Extensible Modding Platform" or NEMP for short. (This could be pronounced in its acronym form to sound like hemp simply replace H with N). OK to explain how I came to this suggestion. I personally feel the name of any software should explain it's main function or it's purpose for existing, but in the case of the new NMM Nexus is building I also feel it is important for the name to reflect and highlight the extensible nature of the new program (and interface). As such I immediately thought "Nexus Extensible Modding Frame(work/ Work)" (NEMF/NEMFW). However I then realised that this name was in essence flawed and rather a mouthful when trying to make the acronym into a word (like others making suggestions around the vetoed Nexus Mod Organiser did calling it NeMO). I said NEMFW was a flawed name as "NMM 2.0" is actually a fully fledged platform in it's own right not just a framework, so I decided to alter that into a more word friendly acronym name and a more correct descriptor as such I decided my two pence would be (the) "Nexus Extensible Modding Platform" (NEMP). P.S. I said Pence not Cents as I know Robin (Dark0ne) is a POM (Brit) and thought it would make him feel more at home if I used a currency unit he would be more familiar with :)

In response to post #39248450. #39574445 is also a reply to the same post. It costs less than AUD $10 for premium membership for 1 month then your are ad free for life on nexus... This costs so little, yet helps the site stay running and removes the ads it's win win for all... Hell people spend more money on games and skins... I can't see how anyone can't afford to do this, it's cheaper than buying one cup of coffee from a coffee shop and solves your ad problems / woes for good.

Personally I believe that NMM has grown beyond the "Beta" quality and should advance beyond that labelling as beta does get too many negative connotation attached to it these days simply by many sub-standard practices by those who don't actually know what they are really doing thinking they do. However while this is not the case with the NMM developers, and I will take them on their word that it is not yet ready for a letter-less / final / stable release (I haven't looked at the code or the intended features not yet implemented so can't truly judge it accurately). I will state however that there are other alternatives to calling it beta / open beta / etc. which could be considered instead... OK so I know that a lot of very stable and high quality Linux software used in production server environments are still technically beta versions we are however talking about a majority of the NMM users (based off what I have seen from them needing support for the mods), NMM is dealing with non-programmers and a heap of non-tech-savvy windows users.... ...Which means that by marking it as being beyond beta but not yet calling it a final "Final" / "Stable" could increase usage and stop such complaints as mentioned above. So I guess what I am suggesting could be done is calling it a "Release Candidate" (0.xx.xx.xx... rc) or give it a "c" appellation instead of a "b". and then when you finally get the first "final" release (I will happily assume that even after the final release it will continue to be developed and evolve further) so that you can eventually drop the letter on the initial final release only to start them back on the pre-release letters before the next "Final Release". At the end of the day it's your software, and you can choose what you do with it / label it and it really shouldn't matter what other people think or say, and in all honest there is no hard and fast rule on how to do the numbering / lettering process in development, the general guidelines on these do will vary from one developer to another, as well as from one country / region to another and again from each agency / group / company to any other, and what one person calls alpha could be considered a 1.0 release by another.
