In 2013 @OneAussieMan777 started the pinned thread Mod advertisements which regrettably fell inactive in 2015 but it was really useful, partly still is.
I always felt that a thread with managed and updated first 2 posts for easy Mod overview would be helpful. I thought each entry could consist of:
1) Name of Mod and Modder
2) Link to forum thread
3) Short description (best by Modder)
4) if approbiate
a) direct link to post with download link and installation description
b) just in case, upto 2 mirror download links (to my or other players' free file sharing spaces), especially in the case of old or inactive mods or in general to avoid loosing mods due to modders inactivity or inactivity/deletion of 1 mirror link... by now we know that we tend to cling to DH and that DH will most likely outlast many of us even as active as we might be at the moment, so some precautions are always helpful in the long run
But since I am no modder and in no way want to step onto any toes of our praised and beloved modders who keep DH alive, active and entertaining... I think it is approbiate to discuss this first. Also, of course, to see wether such an overview thread is rather seen as superfluous or as helpful.
If there is interest, I'd be willing to open such a thread and to offer managing/editing the first posts to keep them updated. But it would be rather a community endevour than a single-person-work. Some threads of mods are more than 100 pages long and only a very few people here are aware that on page 57 might be an hidden but important update link. To find all the tids and bits is definetly out of scope for a single person, will also take quite some time but it would make things easier when those findings could be collected somewhere. Same with old and inactive mods which often enough are still on some players' HD.
Pinning threads: Is that still possible?
