I will never understand the insanity that is the modding community...who cares where something is hosted as long as the original creator is given credit...now certain files can be f*#@ed and lost forever if say someone is not modding anymore and hasn't reuploaded the mod...but I guess that's cuz I don't have the talent to create...Nothing should be missing but if you feel something is missing, just ask us and we can investigate and I 100% promise it'll be able to be in our DB somewhere. The file you cite as missing for example is here - https://www.gamefront.com/games/knights-of-the-old-republic/file/hk-47-melee-saber-modWe're happy to work with you guys if you find issues. Nothing has been lost I 100% guarantee that but if you spot any issues then we'll fix em. We're not here to make life hard for people on purpose and we're not a faceless corporate machine who will ignore you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted7103646User Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I don't know if it is a good idea to work together/help Gamefornt in any way. In the past i had mods only on Nexus, and after some time they magically appeared on Gamefront, when i contacted them about it, they offered thousand excuses and made me a account and linked it to my mods there so i could admin them. To be honest, this is not the way you want to fill your website with mods, i genuinly felt that they stole it from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the old GameFront however we now vet all file submissions before they go live, and any we suspect or know right away are stolen content we don't approve. If there's any of your files on GameFront you don't wish to be there then just let us know via our support ticket system and we'll take them down right away without fuss, promise.

Because that's what they did (source). I'd be very surprised if GameFront had done something like that, unless it was a rogue user, which happens here from time to time, too.

Palpenious Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 And the winner is...... A three-way tie!!! The modders, players, and site owners ALL WIN!! :D TesSource was my reason for coming to PC gaming, and in the last 8 years or so this place has just gotten better and better. I may be here more sparsely, but there is forever a reserved space in my heart for this site. Good form ladies and gentlemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusChrono75 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) We need to save Skyrim Mods in Gamefront from extinction lest we grant permissions from Gamefront.com... Without it, it would crumble to dust. Moddb is still running... I don't know if Diablo 2 mods or Phrozen would migrate to Nexusmods. Like Median XL.
