Nexus Mods Archiving File Front Mods

I know some here will find a way to construe this as bad. But props to Robin for rescuing the File Front mods from, umm, Oblivion.

Reminds me of the time Planet Elder Scrolls went under and Morrowind Modding History rescued most of its mods.



I know modders often don't like it when other people upload their mods to different sites, but in this situation (very old mods at risk of being lost forever, of which the modders are likely unaware) I think it's the right thing to do. It's like a piece of history.

It is bad news, but we all knew too well what's gonna to happen in the future.



Recently, GameFront also shut down their hosting service at the end of April 2016. Dark0ne mention http://gamefront.online/files/ link in the article and I find the link interesting, so as long that link is working then perhaps some old mods can be saved.



As for saving TES mods that's hosted on GameFront http://www.fliggerty.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=99276#p99276 post has more information about saving TES mods on GameFront.

Sounds like Robin is having some success saving File Front mods. Not to sound ignorant, is Game Front the same? Should Fliggerty try to coordinate with Robin's efforts?
