With the advent of http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1187248-the-new-morrowind-modding-history/, and the eventual debut of Oblivion Modding History, we need help.

As you may know, when we acquired all of the mods hosted at http://mw.modhistory.com/, they were basically just a series of big FTP uploads. Most of the mods were not categorized in any way, all of the information we had for them is what was in the readmes, and many of them were corrupt or too dirty to save. It has been a very big task to go through and anolyze and sort all of these.

Using john.moonsugar's amazing tools tes3cmd and teslint we were able to scan through all of them and identify many problems, and I was able to write a script that extracted readme descriptions from those that had a readme. The job is far from done though.

There are still a couple thousand mods that need to be categorized. And we are also working on improving descriptions, finding versions, putting up screenshots, etc. And we are having fun doing so!

In short, we are looking for volunteers who wish to step up and join the ranks of the Modding History Stewards. This will give you access to our MMH staff room where we discuss tasks, challenges, and ideas; you will also have full admin powers at the MMH site with the ability to edit all of the mods that we have. And you get a neat little rank banner at GHF. You will effectively be a member of the GHF staff, and get all of the appreciation and honor that entails.

http://www.fliggerty.com/phpBB3/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2637 has recently taken on the role of Senior Curator, overseeing the Modding History staff and the efforts there. He has proven himself to be quite organized and up to the task of helping and guiding the Stewards in their task.

If you wish to help out, please contact either him or Fliggerty at http://www.fliggerty.com/phpBB3/index.php or BGSF.

Thanks to everyone who has helped out in the past, is currently helping out, and will help out in the future!

We have had two people join our team since yesterday! Dark Nerevar and lokichan have both volunteered to be part of this fantastic team!

While we haven't set a specific number of people we would like on the team, we are sure that there are still a couple of spots open.

And to add a little extra incentive, I'm working on setting up direct FTP access that any of the MMH staff members can use to download any and all of the mods that you want. MUCH faster than using the site...so if you are a mod junky, this is definitely a unique opportunity! :hehe:

I knew I forgot something.

Do you still want me :spotted owl:

Well, do you still want to be wanted? :hehe: Of course!

well it depends - do you want me to be wanted?

Well, do you want me to want you to be wanting to want me to want....bah, you're in!

so me wanting you to want me to want you to be wanting me to want to be wanted has got me in?

We have a need, you have a want. We're a match made in Oblivion. :hehe:

yeah like deadra and lava Nothing like a relationship built upon rock hard ground surrounded by burning liquid and sulphat filled air while giant lizard type dinosaurs guard the entrance to make us aware that we are awesome.

:rofl:

Welcome to the MMH team Midgetalien and I know that you'll be an asset to the MMH Steward that's for a sure. :happy:
