Moddb Mod of the Year 2007 - voting begins today

[Subjective Effect]

Yup.

 

Should probably update TDM page on there. It doesn't have the newer screens or videos.

[Crispy]

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Anyone who wants to help us out, visit this page and click on the big Vote button. Cheers. You don't need a moddb account to vote, but guest votes count for much less than logged-in votes; so if you have a moddb account, make sure you're logged in before you vote.

Thought it would be good to move this to the public forums.

[sparhawk]

Yeah! Makes more sense there.

[oDDity]

Surely the voting refers to finished mods though.

[Macsen]

The Dark Mod was finished moths ago. They're just keeping it back to feed the sense of expectation.

[Komag]

I think that page REALLY needs to be updated, and this is a very worthwhile time to do it

 

I voted!

[STiFU]

I even registered to give you the full support...

[Ishtvan]

It's great that people are so supportive, but I do personally feel silly about voting for a mod that's not released yet.

[phide]

I looked for anything on the site that might state that the mod has to be complete, finished, released, whatever. Nothing of the sort that I caught.

 

Fair game, I say.

[New Horizon]

There is a category for released mods and WIP mods.

[Ishtvan]

Ah, okay. In that case, we have my vote for WIP mod of the year.

[Dunedain]

I voted for The Dark Mod. It would be a good idea to update the TDM page on that site, just so the guys there can see how the mod is progressing and see that's it's still going strong and worth voting for.

[sparhawk]

The page is constantly updated at least once a month. I think that's more than enough, considering that most projects don't update in months. It should definitely show that we are still working on it, and the progress should also speak for itself, that we are not slacking much.

He's talking about the Mod DB page. We don't update that site very often. I don't seem to have access to update it.

[Subjective Effect]

Is someone going to update the Mod DB page? Doing so gets you in the Mod DB news and links to the newer videos will certainly get people salivating enough to vote!

[STiFU]

Perhaps someone should contact Fingernail or Springheel about this. It's really important for you guys I think...

[Crispy]

Found another contest that we might enter. http://www.guildcafe.com/espresso/

 

Dunno if only completed mods count. I nominated "The Dark Mod http://thedarkmod.com" in the "Best Mod" category anyway.

 

We'll need more people to submit nominations for TDM if it's to become a candidate in the voting round.

[Subjective Effect]

Is anyone going to bother updating the Mod DB page? Isn't this New Horizon's job? Many mods are updating right now because it gets your mod high in the news list.

[Crispy]

I agree. I think this is important enough to justify spending the time on.

 

Springheel has posted news on moddb before, so he definitely has the permissions to do so; and it's his job to update the website, so I guess this falls to him by default, rather than NH. Still, I think New Horizon should definitely have access.

 

I myself am very willing to copy news items from thedarkmod.com to moddb if nobody else is going to touch the latter, provided my account on moddb (Crispiness) is granted the ability to do so. What do you say, Springheel?

[Springheel]

I personally find updating the moddb page to be quite low on my list of mod priorities.

 

I have no idea whether I have the ability to change other people's permissions, but I'd be happy to do so if I do.

 

edit: Hmm, since the redesign of the site, I can't even find any options for updating our page, let alone change someone's permissions.

[Crispy]

Well, it's true it doesn't help advance the mod directly. I just think the publicity wouldn't hurt.

 

Yeah, I couldn't see much of anything in the way of editing controls either. I just searched around a bit and found this comment:

 

http://www.moddb.com/news/24346/mod-w...45;is-back[/url] ]We did found if we want to give someone permission to add and edit content on mod page, we have them join group then set there permission of what they can add or edit in group, carry over to mod page. Still learning how to set things up in v4.

 

Seems like to give more than one person permissions to modify the mod page, one needs to create a "group" for the mod team, assign the group to owning the mod, and then give people permissions within the mod team. Bit convoluted.

 

Maybe only Fingernail can do this now? Since he's the one listed as "developer", maybe only he can assign that status to the group.

[New Horizon]

I pm'd Finger about permissions months ago, but they don't seem to have been given yet..unless I'm doing something wrong.
