Awesome site, everyone should check it out. Very active.

[reddragon567]

Boo the need to log in to view tutorials.

[DLAN_Immortality]

I'll be damned if I have to log in to any site to view a tutorial or check content.

[xcorps]

I have to agree. Unfortunately, I won't be visiting your site until I can browse the contents without logging in.

[Dreadthreat]

Great site!

Sorry to say, but: reddragon567, DLAN_Immortality, and xcorps.
You guys are serious hippocrits.
You'll register here yet not there?
DLAN_Immortality your's is the best. I fully expect you will delete your account on here to uphold your philosophy no?

I tried opening it completely to guests and someone ended up hacking the site and leeching the content off.
You also expect everything in life to be free.  SLAP wake the hell up.  Bandwidth and hosting is not free.

If people wouldn't leech contents and try to destroy the site I wouldn't be forced to protect it. However people seem to love to leech stuff from my site and cost me money in bandwidth that hurt us. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for people who cheat and steal.

You register at other sites, you have no reason to complain at all. OH BTW I noticed you have an account at nexus....IT REALLY REALLY burns me how people are such hippocrits nowdays.

Is this really how you will/wantpromote your site? You need to work on your "publicrelations" skills mate.

[Astorax]

I seriously urge people to NOT post tutorials, etc in other places than the wiki.



I understand wanting to foster your own communities. I even get wanting to host mods on another site (for various reasons). But splitting up the information on how to do things in multiple places I can't condone for any reason whatsoever. It's plain selfish.



Not only are you splitting up people' attention on where to go to find information in general, but you're also now requiring (basically) people that want to POST information like that in multiple places.



Seriously, if you care about the community, you'll accept that currently, the wiki is the best place for such things and already has the largest base of information, thus should be the logical place for tutorials, etc.

Yes, I am fully aware how people don't like to pointed out they are morons and hippocrits, especially when their own posts make them out to be one.  Also as an old marketing guru pointed out, there is no good or bad marketing, there is just marketing.  They may not like you, they may even hate you, but they know who you are.

Oh come on now please....I've been in this business likely alot longer then you have...I'm not stupid.  I also used to work with EA, Origin, Westwood and several others in the past.  I know alot more and have access to a great deal more then you realize.

1: You don't want  competeting sites because you want to have to force people to register here so your marketing department can use all that information.  (Don't even try to lie to me about it, I know several people there.  It's the same kind of crap EA tried to pull when I attended the promo launch ceremony at CA for Ultima X Odessey with Origin.)  When I was speaking to the desiger of UO, he talked about a central system similiar to this for that game, and marketing director for EA at the time I spoke to also commented on the idea.

2: Fix your registration bugs and perhaps more people WILL use this site.  I've got over 2,000 people at my site who ARE UNABLE TO REGISTER HERE because of EA/ Bioware registration bugs, one includes my staff member.  When you ignore these people where else do you expect them to go?  Unless of course they don't matter and you dont mind giving them the finger.

3: I know bioware and EA want to have total control over their games and all mods associated with it.  I don't exepct anything less as those who have power want more power.  However this site is rigged and mods don't get a fair shake here.  Honestly how many nude mods are going to allow here?  I think we both know the answer to that one. That means you will DISCRIMINATE against mods you don't like, or their creators.

4: You call ME selfish yet the FIRST thing you do in your first sentence is promote your OWN site.  What do you call that?  Need I point out what that makes you?  I actually smiled when I frst saw that. 

You must be a new moderator, I haven't seen you around here much.  As a suggestion I would remain carefully neutral with that logo you got there.  You may not like me or the site, but facts are facts, and I won't hesistate to rip someone apart when they do or say something that is wrong. 

I know others are afraid to speak out because they might be "banned".  I'm certan EA likes that fear control factor (another reason to get people to register here)  Plus i'm certain they will simple make stuff disappear that they don't like.  EA doesn't work with people, they FORCE people to do stuff they don't want.  I has always been that way and always will be that way.  There are those who bend over and take it and those who fight it.

I fully assume you'll give the same speech to the owner of www.dragonagenexus.com ..... after all he has premium members paying him to use it, I'm certain he will understand and just simply close up shop to help foster the community.

Actually Astorax

The wiki has traditionally had a pretty poor search function and works in very specific way that does not lend it self well to certain methods of presentation I found. Also the "editable" nature of the wiki tends to lead to some good info being replaced by bad information as people simply "get it wrong".

Which we all do from time to time.

So whilst I agree, I do not see the wiki as the best way to help users, its best role is as a reference i found over the years and when used that way, it really shines. Even so, you will see me making updates to it from time to time. I already made a few.

If your site was so great, you wouldn't need to go to other sites like this one and advertise. Your intentions are transparent (bumping your own 3-week old thread? yeah...). Stop cluttering the board with your jealous rantings and thinly-veiled advertisements. This board is for talking about mod-making, not pissing contests.



Your inevitable reply and personal threats against me will be ignored.

[HeathenKing]

Great a series of forums which link you to other forums which each require you to sign up for about 12 different sites.

[Ainiana]

I do not see a need for the hostilities...

I agree with Astorax on the Tutorials however. The information all being in one place is really useful to those starting out, and the Wiki is really that place, its very well organised site and i consider it reliable (it is edited and updated by devs here and there i notice), any information that is developed as tutorials independantly should ideally be placed on the wiki also for the rest community to see imo



As for mods? 3rd party sites are not trusted by everyone, yet until/if the bioware.social get the mod/project side of the site MUCH better organised and layed out i do not see a choice but to use 3rd party sites, which you can never really tell how long they will last, how arbitrary the rules are etc...

For this reason i find it best to use multiple sites for the mods side for the time being

[DLAN_Immortality]

Reynen Starfyre: I'm sorry you're so butthurt but I don't have to explain myself on why I register in some sites and not in some others. I usually register in sites because first and foremost the gain will outweigh the bother of having to register.

Bah, never mind, I'll give you an illustrative example.

- Bioware: Been registered here for years, has official support and it's the biggest community. Not to mention the slight detail that my registered game connects to the intarnetz with my account to update my profile. Score: Worth it.

- Nexus: I upload files there since TES. It has Tes, Fallout and DA, 3 games I play. I don't need to be logged in to browse/download. Score: Worth it.

-DAMods: I have to register to browse.

You tell me. :-)

Oh, btw, I'm the owner of my own community (in Spanish, sorry), and it's been online for almost 9 years now, (blah blah blah). Anyways, you don't have to be registered to browse anything or download anything, and yeah I pay it mostly out of my pocket.

As said, if the community was what really interests you, you'd do things way differently, but eh, I'm the hypocrite here, right?

Gl with your site, I'm sure you'll get registered users anyways and you won't be able to complain that leechers "dook ur joob". :-)

I grin when I see people like this.  Hes absolutely right.  I don't need to say a word.  Several people here are perfectly capable of showing themselves complete idiots without my help.

After all it's not like he's replied to any old threads...oh wait he has, nm.....

I suppose I am also the only person to advertise other sites here....err wait, sorry no that's not right either...

Ahh well....he is certainly right about one thing here, I am wasting my time.

I initially came to "try" and find a mod I heard was here, but it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

...LOL wow.. I am not certain where to start:

You certainly don't need to explain yourself.  You wrote a hippocritical statement and I called you on it, simple as that.....However your "facts" need a bit clarifications:

Bioware: Been registered here for years, has official support and it's the biggest community. Not to mention the slight detail that my registered game connects to the intarnetz with my account to update my profile. Score: Worth it.

With a Joined date of: 2009-11-01 perhaps your count of the years is a bit off....
Also technically this is not the biggest community as nexus as 1.3 MILLION users....and this one not even close.

Nexus: I upload files there since TES. It has Tes, Fallout and DA, 3 games I play. I don't need to be logged in to browse/download. Score: Worth it.

Oh really?  Apparently you have not been to some of the DA mods section WHERE YOU HAVE TO REGISTER TO DOWNLOAD.....just though I'd point that out   

http://www.dragonage...file.php?id=221

-DAMods: I have to register to browse.

Well now if there's not a blantant lie I don't know what else it.  Any guest can browse the entire site.
Use a different browser and see for yourself, any other objection?

As said, if the community was what really interests you, you'd do things way differently, but eh, I'm the hypocrite here, right?

Lovely suggestion, except what do you propose?  Free access to everything and everyone?
Tell you what, you've give me $1000 or even just PAY my hosting and I'll do it.
Take away my concern of paying out of pocket and I have ZERO reason to complain.

Oops. :-)



Since you're asking for my advise. I'd tell you there is hosting that's not too expensive. Yes, you'd need to pay out of your own pocket (no, I won't help you :-) ) but that's of course depending on how far you want to go into it.



As said, you can't expect anybody to register a site when they are not getting any palpable gain. You are competing against Nexus and Bioware, as long as you keep people OUT by either restricting content or insulting people with criticism, you'll have a problem.



Anyways, I'll be happy to continue this discussion via PM, you may find I'm not so full of BS in the end and I know a thing or two about communities :-) besides, my mod is broken and I'm waiting for halp, until then I have time to discuss anything. :-D

[DLAN_Immortality]

Oh, I believe you. :-) It's because you're checking the social site, but under the profile pic it says "BioBoards profile". When they started the Social site you had the option to migrate with your old account from the BioBoards.

[Dennis Carpenter]

well I have checked your site out and find it lacking from a few different viewpoints VS DANexus Nexus is much easier to move around and you can view all the files by image to see what they look like before downloading plus you dont have to register although I have and I find it much larger than yours so to say you are the Leading site leaves me wondering why you would be trolling for more people to post. If your the best or the leading site everyone else would be telling people to post. Nexus gets way more word of mouth marketing because it just is better but that is my opinion and only offer it in an attempt to explain my preferences for mods and downloads.
