Wow

Yes I see what you mean, I barely got to the end of that page, I started to fall asleep. When he started talking about mushrooms and lists I kind of lost interest.

I have to say I voted for the Steam Workshop as I hate the way Nexus treats it's users so badly, but I have to say(or hope at least) it will work against them eventually.

In all honesty, the Nexus may be able to suppress bigger files on there, as Steam's workshop lacks it's own, but if there was a third alternative, I would choose this site. :)

lol, but I'll vote for Steam workshop anyway. :Ton:

Wow thank you Slyther! :smile:

I think if I made a popular mod and had to choose between Steam and here I would probably opt for Steam. Steam just gets way more traffic than we do. Perhaps its just my low self esteem. I do plan on adding a whole bunch of new features soon. I am very dis-satisfied with the site in its current state. Too many bugs and discrepancies. :dumb:

No, I'm afraid I can't take anything from him seriously. Edit: Another reference. http://www.skyrimforge.com/forums/other ... ur-opinion

As far as the topic goes, I chose not to vote, but if I had to choose I suppose I choose the Nexus because I am not forced to use any software (Nexus Mod Manager). The day they make that mandatory is the day I quit using their site.

I went through the content you linked to about Giskard, and I must say that he makes VERY unreasonable demands... Saying someone cannot edit his work is idiocy. The same concept of "I bought the hardware, so why can't I do what I want with it???" applies to software, regardless of whether it was free or not. also, the "Mushroom List" makes no sense, and is downright disrespectful to Bethesda.

Anyways, I tend to prefer the Nexus, as it has far more content, including utilities like Wrye Bash and Boss, hosted on the site. I only use it for downloading mods and giving constructive feedback for them. As for the Steam Workshop, I don't like how you cannot manage the mods themselves, as they are automatically installed upon download. It might be handy for the modder who posted it, as it makes it a lot harder to re-upload them, but from an advanced user's perspective, it is really very annoying. I prefer to not have to re-download a mod all the time. I only use it for content that it Steam Workshop exclusive. I will probably end up putting the mods I make (when I get around to working on them) here, linking them to the Nexus with a preview, or even better, a savegame that is focused on showing off the mod, with the real mod in the content.

@loder
Don't change too much! I love the style of the site! ^^ It's far more beautiful than the Nexus or Steam Workshop. I really hope this site can grab some users from the Nexus and Steam, as the moderators seem very nice so far! Much nicer than the ones on Nexus...
