etn84 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/353/c/9/c9d98f54e48a010d42e5ca354bcb323b-d4jkcue.png(click the logo to visit the group) The possibility to upload screenshots on the Nexus is good for modders who want to display their mods, but isn't very convenient for players like me who just want a place to upload and share all of them with the community (I'm not even considering Steam or Bethesda forums...obviously) That's why I created the Skyrim Mods group on DeviantART.com It makes uploading, sharing, managing & editing your images so much easier... and its a great way to promote the Mods you're creating / using :) You can apply for membership (completely free if you're not familiar with dA) and start creating your gallery today :D ps: If you're interested in helping with the group's administration, feel free to send a note...

myrmaad Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I have no problem with it. There are all kinds of subgroups on DA, it's not a terrible idea, I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 No problem with the concept, but can't figure out why they wanted to take a swipe at the Nexus. Why not complain about Valve's or Bethsoft's lack of adequate support for Image Share? (Is it because the Nexus is the de facto "go-to site" for fans and modders, not the "official" ones? :teehee: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I think possibly their main problem is the adult section being off limits to kiddies. :rolleyes: I don't think Deviant Art has any restrictions like that. But their rules are not our rules and vice versa. I assume they also want to hot link to these pics. Direct links to adult themed pics can be a problem for us. However, it can already be done - Possibly a warning about hot linking adult pics? :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrmaad Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I assumed they meant the clunky image interface in the mod uploads. Sorry but that's how I really feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artistdude05 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I dunno. Could be cool, and lord knows I haven't joined enough groups on Deviant Art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etn84 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) I assumed they meant the clunky image interface in the mod uploads. Sorry but that's how I really feel.Yes that was my thoughts exactly... As of now, I was using the Nexus to share some screenshots, but wasn't very satisfied with its performance, and management functionalities... No problem with the concept, but can't figure out why they wanted to take a swipe at the Nexus. Why not complain about Valve's or Bethsoft's lack of adequate support for Image Share? (Is it because the Nexus is the de facto "go-to site" for fans and modders, not the "official" ones? :teehee: ) I really don't want to take a 'swipe' at the Nexus... On the opposite, I think the Nexus does it job amazingly, which is sharing mods and creating a community around mods... With the dA group, I wanted to have a place dedicated to screenshots, basically it would target casual players that may be tempted to install mods to achieve better visuals, or new items, etc... Also, one of the main rule of the group is to ALWAYS link to the Nexus download page, and also credit the mod's author. So I think the group may actually contribute to the Nexus (if people use it ofc) So, for what concerns me (I did not make any mod yet, and just want to share cool screenshots with the community), the best solution available is DeviantART (easy to upload and manage your screenshot collection, and the community aspect is brought by the group: everything in one place, comments, journal, etc...). This is at least my personal opinion :happy: you may want to disagree with me of course :biggrin: and if it causes any kind of issue to the Nexus, which I sincerely want to avoid, I'll take appropriate actions :sweat: Direct links to adult themed pics can be a problem for us. However, it can already be done - Possibly a warning about hot linking adult pics? :thumbsup: Concerning the 'nudity' aspect, yes it is possible on dA (if you checked the appropriate tag ofc...or else moderators will take actions), and while the group purpose is to regroup 'everything' in one place, I don't intend to highlight this particular category. It will be included in the 'Character' category... If users decide to create a dedicated category in their gallery, no one can help it (and it is already possible as you said). But again, these will not be highlighted in the group in any ways... Sorry for the block of text :rolleyes: Edited December 22, 2011 by etn84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
