Site statistics

Personally, I think this site is a godsend, and it is no exaggeration on my part to say that the reason I bought DAO and Oblivion is due EXCLUSIVELY due to the modding community this site brought together and supports. I completely agree that modding support for games should be part of the design element since it greatly enhances the longevity of games and their continued sales, as well as revealing genuine talent to publishers from the community's contributers.

Question: Is there anyway the available stats could be used to figure out the approximate user size of the communities of these games?

Yes, use the "Members who have downloaded" stat. It will tell you the number of individual members that have downloaded a file from that site; bearing in mind it only updates once a month so wait until tomorrow if you're checking New Vegas Nexus's community size.

I can definately say I use mods for the game. So much so that I have gained an almost ridiculous amount and can hardly keep track. All worth it though! I also agree that modding is something that needs more support.

 

There are so many craft talented folks creating mods for character, weapons, armor, quests, etc. Thank the Maker for mods and there creators! :o)

Spot on Dark0ne! Modding is something PC game developers should be supporting more often, I have always felt mods help developers sell more games so it's a sound idea. I purchased Morrowind GTY edition in '09 after discovering modding with Fallout 3, heck I even went back to playing TES4 because of mods.

 

This is due to the great part that Nexus fills in the modding community, it's a wonderful site and I want to thank you Dark0ne, I will continue to be a premium member.

 

When I joined Nexus in February 2009 there were lass than a million members now look at the stats, I think that alone is very telling not only about modding but it's growing popularity as well.

So true. Mods are what makes PC games superior [in my opinion] to console games. Other than that - Nexus pages are awesome!

 

Cheers! :)

I must say that the stats are amazing, having been a member for 2 years, I've been blown away at the community of talent and support that I find on this site. Thanks to the modders and Thanks to the site admin. who keep it going.
