HeyYou Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Nexus is a MOD hosting site, without our Mods, Nexus ceases to be a mod hosting site.So yea, one leg can hold up a chair.Without mods, they become one of several thousand "gaming sites" No mods...no site.No employees...no site.No Members...no money...no staff...no site. You are simply playing word games. This site started out as a mod hosting site with NO employees. Just the owner, and some volunteers. Mods made this site, mods are what this site is all about, without mods, this site has no reason to exist. Mod authors are the ones creating content that this site REQUIRES to continue to exist. If Nexus alienates their content creators, where are they going to get their new content, to keep people coming here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euph Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 As I explained earlier, the criteria to be in the mod author group are that they must have at least 1 published file with at least 1,000 mods on their profile. Anyone not meeting those criteria is not in the mod authors group and thus doesn't have the same forum permissions. Robin/Dark0ne addressed earlier why a number of users who shouldn't have had access based on these criteria have since been removed as well.1000 what now? That explains why we're being tossed out of the GMAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showler Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 The idea that the upset modders pulling their mods is going to bring this site down is laughable. But let's see who else is willing to put in the work to build a replacement site. I'm curious to see what the standard is when Starfield releases next year.

Nexus can essentially do whatever they want, and they will still have content to distribute. Even if there was a viable alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deleted34304850 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 it depends on what you are thinking as a "viable alternative".do you want all the bells and whistles - which no mod maker actually needs - or do you just want the files, which is what every mod user wants?if you think about it - the most basic file sharing site is already a viable alternative, it just depends on how much detail you want/need.this week my fo4 game was decimated. after a weekend on discord 90% of the mods i lost were recovered thanks to the community spirit of the folks that got screwed over. the community spirit around those mods and their authors remains - its just not getting ground into the dust here.

A central repository for game mods. Or can get it up and running quickly enough to meet the current deadline.... but, even if that happens, I seriously doubt we are going to see an exodus of enough mod authors to even come close to influencing the decisions that have already come down the pike. Sure, some folks may upload subsequent mods to an alternative site, but, Nexus will still likely retain the bulk of uploads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanderat Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Yes, but Nexus Collections won't have that huge flaw. It's worth noting that even the people who are against this have often pointed out how Nexus has almost always been on the side of the Authors before now. Authors are half a percent of the members on Nexus. Since this appears to be an either or situation, with no realistic way for both sides to win, is it a surprise that they are choosing to support the other 99.5% of the members this time?Yes. But where does the content come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanderat Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Zanderat, the opt out question is addressed in the news post, and I've since explained it in more detail here: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/10219828-opt-in-and-opt-out-choice-for-modders-is-the-least-nexus-should-do/page-2&do=findComment&comment=96509988 I am not talking about those who deleted their mods (choices have consequences) but in at least one case a mod author who was part of GMAD for ten years was kicked out even their mod was not deleted/hidden. As I explained earlier, the criteria to be in the mod author group are that they must have at least 1 published file with at least 1,000 mods on their profile. Anyone not meeting those criteria is not in the mod authors group and thus doesn't have the same forum permissions. Robin/Dark0ne addressed earlier why a number of users who shouldn't have had access based on these criteria have since been removed as well.Hi, BB. Yes, you explained it. But I don't agree with your explanation, for reasons that I have outlined previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
