Try PM'ing him on the official forum. He tends to be far more active over there.

Quickest way to get this looked at by the people that matter, send it to Kivan and let him know what you found. Either he'll fix it himself for the upcoming UOP 3.4.0 or he'll have someone on hand who can.

Well at least it wasn't me. I updated a mod and thought the image was corrupted so I replaced it - which fixed it. Sure hope that won't need to be done for all of them!

Never lost a game disc once. I still have all of the ones in their boxes along with the other stuff. If you aren't lazy and actually take care of things you buy, losing a disc is a very rare thing. No, it's not harsh to not buy a game because of Steam. It's a consumer choice, and one I will happily make over and over. I know I'm in the minority, but from what I can see lately that minority is growing larger by the day. Maybe one day we'll be the majority and voting with our wallets will wake the publishers up to the fact that we don't want some uninvolved 3rd party dictating the terms by which we get to play our legally purchased games. DRM is a reality. We won't be seeing it gone anytime soon. So with that in mind, I'll take non-internet based disc checking every single time. I see no reason to be shafted by Valve should I end up on their shitlist for openly opposing their monopolistic tactics.

There is no official confirmation about Steam. None. Anyone who is claiming otherwise is lying. As close as we are to the release date now, I'm honestly hoping that means we won't get shafted with needing it. We knew well before this point with F:NV which allowed for informed purchasing and pre-order. I used that information to decide against funding the scam known as Steam. To whoever said disc checks are far worse than Steam, not even close to true. A disc check can't be thwarted by Steam being down or by Valve going bankrupt or by you not having an internet connection. I'll take disc checks every time over ANY form of online DRM. I'll take company in-house online DRM over GFWL, and I'll take GFWL over Steam, and unless there's an extremely compelling reason to take Steam, I'll simply opt not to purchase the game at all. I've already passed over at least two recent games, and one older one they offered for FREE simply because it required that I use something I want nothing to do with.

Looks like the issue with the "About me" section in the member profile area is fixed. Firefox 6 beta here btw. Firefox wasn't the only browser that broke in. Opera and Chrome weren't showing it right before either. Must have been a standards issue if IE was the only one it worked right in before. Also, yep, confirmed for old age blindness on my part, didn't see the comment tracking link. Thanks :P I originally thought the orange was ok when I saw this earlier, but I'm starting to think that a more subdued color would be better. Is the current TES Nexus logo coming back? The one with the legion guy and the house? You'd be surprised how much identity a more distinctive logo provides. The new one looks a bit generic.

Did the comment tracking feature get sacrificed to the daedra? Just when I was getting used to that too :P

One need only look to the fate of DSL Extreme after they made the decision to terminate all US based tech support back in March. Prior to that, they used to be the #1 rated DSL company in the country. Radio stations around here in LA sung their praises, and they proudly displayed the fact that they had all-US support for years. That all went to hell though. After the switch, the forums at dslreports.com filled up with nothing but complaint after complaint because people were calling the help lines and getting nowhere with everything from simple router reboots to complex issues. The techs were obviously reading from scripts and were clearly being instructed to avoid escalations to level 2 support. Radio stations here in the LA area have nearly all dropped their ads. Nobody I know is recommending them to friends, and I've personally apologized to several of my own who acted on my recommendations back in Feb-Mar before I knew what was coming. It's had a profound effect on their business and their reviews have plummeted. I get why it's been done, but the company that now owns DSL Extreme is utterly clueless as to how the empire was built. They've managed to destroy the company's reputation in a matter of weeks. Something it took them years to build up.

Oh sure, let's inflate this into a completely ridiculous argument. Equating the loss of access to a website with the MURDER of someone's family. Nice one. Trust me when I tell you this. If someone did manage to sneak into my home and stab my whole family while they slept, and I was somehow spared this and caught them in the act, posting about it on a forum would be the last thing on my mind. Making sure I could get at my gun would be the first thing, second thing being to make sure the attackers didn't make it out alive. So if you're seriously suggesting your reaction to this incident should be on the same scale, why are you surprised when cynics start to question your motives? Also, the fact that you're here arguing about it to begin with says a lot. You still have access. Your ISP hasn't harmed your ability to get here in the slightest. So really, what's the actual problem again?

And this, IMO, is the only thing you legitimately have to ask for. I happen to think you've gone about it in a rude, hostile, and generally all around unpleasant way. It shouldn't therefore surprise you if nobody cares to give you what you're asking for. Not the only legal way. Banning an ISP from which destructive activity is perfectly legal, and FAR more efficient than waiting on the cops to start an investigation, get the wiretap warrants, send units to the perpetrators' houses to arrest people, and sieze their equipment. This sort of thing takes MONTHS, sometimes years, before the cops will feel they have enough evidence against the correct parties to act on. In the meantime, you propose that Nexus (and pretty much anyone else too) be subject to a continuous barrage of destructive data. So no, I'm not being ridiculous at all. Unless you're implying your police forces don't bother with evidence and warrants, in which case I'd say you have far more pressing issues to deal with than worrying about access to a web forum you don't seem to have trouble reaching anyway.

The cynic in me thinks there's something more going on here than a few pissed users wanting to get their IPs unblocked, but hey. If you guys have no clout with your ISP, how exactly do you expect Nexus to have any? If the ISP won't cooperate, there's nothing more to be done. Going to the cops and waiting 5 years for them to investigate it isn't a viable option in internet-time.

LOIC has existed for years, and it's been a trojan app the whole time. Nothing about this changed recently other than its use becoming far more high profile. Why anyone would willingly sign their computer up to some unknown botnet is beyond me. You may as well hang a sign out in your yard inviting the cops to come arrest you.

For CS-generated content that wouldn't be legal since the EULA for the CS applies instead and there's no provisions for dual-licensing in the terms. For custom made stuff (models, textures, audio) that's perfectly fine.

Nope. Copyright is inherent. It exists from the moment something is created, and you need not do anything to benefit from the protections it offers. http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html - see myth #1.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt at this point and will keep the place in mind as long as things continue to improve in a positive direction.

The best thing you guys could do at this point is cut your PR losses, dump the mod database, and start over. Seed the database with your own work or with dummy files or something. The longer you go on trying to fight against this the worse it's going to get as news spreads of how you're stealing mods and ignoring the legal rights of their creators.

And sadly that's exactly what they hope will happen, that people will get sick of defending their rights and give up. DMCA takedown notice sent by certified mail. Usually enough to scare the pants off these kids who think they can steal content for their websites.

I remember these guys. They were going around here a few weeks back spamming PMs to people about their new site. I guess they didn't go away after all. Bunch of thieves they are.

Yep, I got one too and the only reason I even had an account on their system was because of Dragon Age Origins.

Nope, I reported the same thing in another post.

Half-Assed: Generate an LOD texture that comes out half black.

LW. No contest.

Minor thing, but it's still an error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function apc_fetch() in /home/tes/public_html/members/upload/getprogress2.php on line 3 The upload itself continues unaffected.

Could the changelog feature be added to the drop down menu on a file's entry with the other options?
