Hello there!

We love mods right? I mean we really LOVE mods? Can I get a hell yeah!

Well theres lots of lovly shinny pretty things coming from modders all over the place! We have PES, Nexus, ElricM, the little corner of your mums basemant which has a safe hidden behind some lose bricks which has a map detailing the location of a key which opens up a door in some lost hidden cave (with respawing smugglars) which contains a mod.... well you get the point - mods are coming from everywhere!

But sometimes we miss things, sometimes a release isnt "noticed", sometimes news just doesnt spread fast enough....... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo I was thinking of setting up a tiny, very small, insignificant and really backwater blog that could quite possibly let people know of new release accross the TES universe, of new ideas and thoughts and possibly reviews of new and old mods.

The only thing is.... I would like some people to help out - I am looking for one or two people which can write reviews for mods and keep an eye out on releases along side me.

I would like the blog to be updated as much as possible and have like a "new mod of the week", "new modder of the week/modder of the week" type section. Maybe get some sort of interview proccess going on like the beth blog ect....

essentially I am thinking of a Modders blog - created by modders for modders. Keep up to date with mod releases etc.....

so urm.... anyone think this is a good idea? I've already working on the blog

I like the idea, and am willing to give support, though I can't make any real promises.

Isn't this what APY does at PES? The Bethblog sometimes mentions new mods as well

I'm not saying it's a bad idea and but I'm not sure it is a good idea - sounds like it could be a lot of work especially if reviewing mods

For info on mods I used to come here and read the release threads for bug reports - i still come here for news on what's happening in modding - even though a lot of the mods I see released on PES are not by people who come here (maybe different user names)

Is this something you still want to be doing six months from now - or a year from now?

APY doesnt really announce every new mod fro mthe various other sites, there are no mod reviews for players to sink their teeth into and beths blog is a little slow - hence asking for a team.

many mods get released one diffrent sites, many people go to diffrent sites for their info on the latest mods.

Sigh, knew this was a bad idea. Stupid brain.

It's not a bad idea, MA, it's just one that will require a lot of dedication. If you want to set it up, by all means. I'm sure that others will come aboard after they see how well it's doing.

You could perhaps automate a lot of it using RSS feeds. I could easily write a parser for TESFeed that can be used to get articles specific to mod releases.

"Hell yeah!"

ontopic:

i'd love something like this, and maybe it could also mention old "off-the radar" mods? i'd like to help, but this forum knows how erratic my grammar can be.

A very good idea. In fact might I propose another idea for locals over here. The link to the blog should be in a sticky thread, and that thread might get updated with all the mods from that month. Any new mods would have a NEW on the side for a whole week etc.

Further more, before that list, between the link and the list, whoever works on the blog should edit the post, and write NEWS from that week from the blog. Something like this:


TITLE OF THE THREAD OR WHATEVER MAN

NEWS:

Interviews this week:
We talked with Midgetalien! He still denies the facts about briast implants! Photos inside!
Fliggerty shared his story! Tragic and emotional fight of the lifetime against the cancer, after his wife left him!

-------------------------------

MODDERS AND MODS WEEKLY!

Modder of the week-
How wollibeebee became king of the landscaping, and king of the bongo!

Mod of the week-
Colossal castle that is so bigass and awesome that it doesn't have to be compatible with anything! In fact it's so cool that it's incompatible with vanilla mainquest! True Hall of Fame material.

=========================================

and the month's list of the mods.


Just a suggeston



Don't get down right away. It will be hard ofc, but as you can see many modders like the idea so far. It's just that projects this big usually fail, and we don't want to see that here from our fellows forumers.

Also agree with wollibeebee's idea, column about mentionined old mods, that either went off behid the radar, or are are simply so old taht people have forgotten about them, is also a really good idea.

chaka ZG, i would read that EVERY DAY.

I think this is a great idea! In fact, I tried doing something like this a while back, but only got a few posts in before running aground. Hopefully you guys will have better luck, I think the community could really use something like this.

I know, right??

MA, what resources can I give you for this? You know I've got a lot of web hosting resources available, and next to modding creating web sites that do neat thing is my second passion.

What would be really neat is a way to catalog what mods were released when. So then if I was away for a month recovering from cancer after my wife left me :shakehead: I can do a quick search and see what mods were released during that month.

So, let's do it. Where do we start?

start by waiting for MA!

but i'd say, it should be a blog

I think this would fit on Fliggerty's site very well (as he suggested above)

I still try to keep on eye on new PES mods, and test them out when I can. (Especially for new modders who still need a helping hand.)
But if I see a really nice new mod, I could write a little blog about it for you. **my free-time permitting**

Sounds cool. I try to keep up with graphics mods on my blog/guide but I wouldn't dare attempt to keep up with all of them.

Good luck? <3
