HeyYou

Lol I'll definitely agree to disagree with you on it paying off Yeah, that was likely a poor choice of words. :D Maybe more like "A sacrifice they knew they were going to have to make." :D Better? :D

Money. See, that wasn't hard. :smile: No idea what margins they are operating on here, but, running this place, with 18 employees, is NOT inexpensive. So, they need to make sure collections will 'always work', to motivate people to buy premium. They change the pricing, so it makes them more money. Expect collections to roll out in the not very distant future. That is what this is all in preparation for. Which is pointless anyway when half of the most prominent mod authors have left the site and taken their mods with them. Which still leaves half. Or more. Several of the major authors are still here. Nexus knew they were going to lose some, and some would stay. It was a gamble, and it appears to be paying off.

Side Note: I find it HIGHLY amusing that I just got a notice from amazon that the terms of use have changed. :D

Not having content on here at the moment doesn't mean I can't have my own views on things. Plus, I plan to upload here in the future anyway. I could even upload something now if you want just to prove to you that whether or not I have a mod on here really doesn't make a lick of difference in my opinion. I have just never uploaded here in particular because most of my mods where Half-Life DM maps hosted on a site called the snarkpit. Not even sure if the site still exists. And while I have dabbled in the creation kit, I have never actually made anything I felt was worth uploading. But I do have a mod up for the sims 4, on the site modthesims. Could upload it here as well. Just never seen Nexus as much of a sims 4 mod source if you know what I mean. Ok, so YOU feel that way, and that is perfectly fine. Apparently, there is a selection of folks that don't feel the same. Imagine that, we don't all agree. Amazing. So, because YOU don't have a problem with it, you can't understand why others might? You feel free to hand over whatever you make to nexus. It would appear that others just don't want to.

Well, the dog whistle has to make sure its useful. Right? :D

I hope that will be the case. I totally get making more features available for premium users, but taking away privileges from regular users would be absurd. They haven't done that nor have they even mentioned the possibility of doing that. They didn't tell us they were taking control of our work beforehand either.

I didn't say that in that context. You should probably read the entire thing. Just disagreeing isn't the same as derailing a thread. It's literally still on topic. As you don't have any of your work hosted here, you don't have a dog in this particular hunt, so it really doesn't come as a surprise that you are poo-pooing authors concerns. You aren't the only one though. It seems that folks with nothing vested in this decision, don't have a problem with it. Imagine that.

That's the thing, how do I know if i'll want it in a year or 2 years from now? Its basically like "might as well buy it now since it's gonna cost more going forward..." Seriously BUY LIFETIME before the Deadline, I've had it since 2008 This is actually a good idea..... :D

Premium gets you ad-free browsing (here...), and uncapped download speeds. I think you can also download multiple files at once...... I think they will still be doing "Supporter".... buy one month of premium, and you get supporter status once it expires. 2mb/s download speeds, and ad-free. General members are capped at 1mb/s, and are served ads. (unless you have an ad-blocker...) Prices are going up, but, benefits aren't changing, aside from lifetime no longer being an option. Personally, buying lifetime now, for less than a one year premium later.... That IS a good deal. :D

70 yearly instead of 60 for a lifetime is a steeper increase than those inflation stats. If I payed 60 dollars now and I used this site for the next 5 years, that's quite a bit less than a new member coming and paying 70 a year for the next 5 years. $350 every 5 years instead of $60 for a lifetime. So buy lifetime before august 3rd. :D

Price of a new Chevy Cruise in 2013: 18,000 us dollars Price of a new Chevy Cruise in 2021: 23,700 us dollars Prices go up over time. Nexus hasn't changed prices since the system started. And the increase is actually in line with consumer price increases. The big shock is because it happened all at once, instead of little by little over the intervening 8 years.

Now that sure as hades ain't a coincidence..... I suppose, if you want premium membership, now would be the time to purchase lifetime premium. :D

Folks are hoping that Nexus will see the error of their ways, and change this policy. A lot like a dog sitting by the dining table, hoping someone will hand them some scraps....... :D It might work then. That's main reason my dog has gotten so fat. Those puppy eyes...... :cool: LOLOL. Yep. All to familiar with that one. Though, my dogs have learned they don't get fed from the table. They get theirs later. :D So they wait not-so-patiently. If I am sitting at my desk though, it's fair game..... and they have gotten very good at eating from a fork/spoon. :D (yes, I share. My dogs aren't spoiled... no, not at all...... stop looking at me like that.)

Wonder if you are running up against the ESL limit...... there are only so many 'spare' ID's to go around...

If Select arrow type is not working 1.You need have this type for arrow 2.check You can't have more than two of the same bows, Otherwise it won't work ex: Wood Bow x1 (Y), Recurve Bow x1 (Y) , Compound Bow x1 (Y) Wood Bow x2 (N), Recurve Bow x1 (Y) , Compound Bow x3 (N) 3.Please install "Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE)",Because of this function,Is working with script

Is the system perfect? Nope. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Some companies don't care if you port their stuff to other games, some do. I would expect Microsoft would be highly incensed to find their stuff being used in a non-MS approved way. :D They are just kinda like that.... but, there are how many thousands of mods on here? And how many staff??? Not hard to see why some stuff remains up for extended periods. I do believe someone actually has to report it, before mods/staff will take action..... But, I don't work here..... so, can't say for sure. :D

I heard someone was working on one, but then, the government got wind of it, and that person just kinda vanished.... hasn't been heard from since.

From one of your mod pages: All assets (models/textures) are property of Infinity Ward/Activision and I will never claim them as my own. If you don't have permission to use those assets, or, the actual owner of them doesn't have something published that allows said use, then, you can't use them. That is copyright violation, and why your stuff was removed.

I have yet to participate in an election that I did NOT have to show ID in order to vote...... and I've been voting for a long time....... :)

They are effectively taking ownership of files. They can do whatever they want with them, and you can't remove them. Doesn't that sounds like ownership? The trouble is, we have two competing groups of customers. The tiny minority, mod authors, and the vast majority, mod users..... It isn't difficult to see which group is going to get more favor..... Even though that hasn't been the case until just lately. Maybe they figger they have enough content on here now, and they don't 'need' mod authors quite so badly, so, they feel they can mistreat them however they wish, and any that leave, will be replaced by someone else, AND their files will still be here......

True, gerrymandering doesn't make it harder/easier to vote, just makes you vote mean less. Or not at all. It's also true it doesn't happen 'all the time', but, it happens often enough to be effective for a while. I would expect there would be those that would object to being fingerprinted to vote as well. :) Especially those with a criminal bent. Their prints may not be on file with the police..... but, if they are required in able to vote.... they might just be effectively turning themselves in for some crime or other. Bar law enforcement from using the data?? Possible, but, once they are on file.... laws are easy enough to change. Besides, why introduce some whole new system? that will require developing/purchasing the hardware/software for it to work, when we already have a system that would be easy enough to change, to make it work. Just get the politicians fingers out of it. That would solve a host of problems right there. Either that, or federalize ALL elections, and let them deal with it, and leave the locals out of it altogether. Including any laws they might be inclined to pass.

Found this interesting tidbit on a legal website: If the Terms of Service agreement includes a unilateral provision which states the company can change the agreement without notifying the customers, the agreement is entirely unenforceable Interesting, eh?

Here's a scenario that's DEFINITELY going to happen, I just wonder who will get the brunt of it, the Mod Author, or the Mid list maker? Somebody is going to install a mod list, and they're going to assume, that "since all the mods on the mod list work together, then surely I can install some more mods that I've been interested in because those will all work together as well" "UR MOD (OR MODLIST) BROKE MAH GAME!!" Exactly. :) Not any different from what already happens today.
