If there's anyone from the Morrowind Modding Community reading this, we opened our own discord about a week ago, come join us, you can find the thread in the Bethesda Forums http://forums.bethsoft.com/forum/12-morrowind-mods/ scroll down and you'll see it, the thread has the link to join. (Only open to Morrowind members, no Oblivion or Skyrim, or Fallout or anything else modders please.

 

And sure I'll join the nexus discord.

Glad I joined Discord right when it started up, got to claim the ever sought after "Husky" username :p

I have some concerns regarding the new chat and the (maybe) potential abuse of it. So I wanted to ask if it will ever be integrated with the forums (if possible) where we don't need to create an account with discord. The other issue is the file sharing aspect, I have done some reading up on it and heard from some friends, now I'm not saying it is nor isn't possible but I worry that there could be some malicious abuse with it for something as public as Nexus. I don't know for certain if malicious code can be implemented but it's my main concern. Do you plan on turning file sharing off? That's pretty much it for now.

 

Thanks.

As history has shown multiple times, if there is a way to abuse something, people will find it and abuse it endlessly. I went through this with one MMO and do not plan to deal with it again. An inherently bad idea but Nexus has already stated in a "news" release they want to get more involved in social media. Probably a good time to start looking for alternatives to Nexus. Your point is well taken but I doubt anyone at Nexus will heed it. I hope the community reads your post before they make a decision.

Will definately come and have a game of bf1 when the time comes and rounding up some of the old Jolt posse no doubt.

Cool! Awesome to see the Nexus making something like this for members of the community here to rub shoulders a bit more. Forums can be mighty impersonal at times, so having a Discord chat is sure to bring people in the community closer together. +1 Edited August 18, 2016 by matortheeternal

yeah i do not want a discord account either and considering I have already paid Nexus for usage, I do not feel that I should have to sign up for one

I feel violated somehow

and cheated

Really sorry to hear that, though I actually feel this is a huge benefit to the community. I have been on the chat and text all day today and got to meet a lot of people.

There seems to be a good rapport going on between people and we have 170 people online at the moment compared to between 20=30 on chat.

I would like to know your reasonings for not liking it though, so please feel free to message me or reply to this.

Regards

We are going to be monitoring the chat and voice closely to begin with. We want communication to be free flowing but will obviously ban anyone who shares anything malicious, pornographic etc.

These first couple of weeks are going to be a learning curve and we are looking at 'bots' that can help with moderation etc.

We'll keep you informed.
