Sins Modding Community

from Sins Forums
I just purchased a domain for a new fan-owned modding community, once my usual host sorts out a problem with his billing procedure I'll have a host setup and throw a quick design up so it can be used right away. Everyone is welcome to join of course. :)

The reasoning behind this is that when these forums are having problems, it's hard to stay in touch with the rest of the community. In light of that, I figured it's the least I could do. :)

Once the forums are up and running, registration will be open for the first few days, then I'll put some precautions in place to get rid of the spam bots that plague forums. Just the simple e-mail verificaiton!

If any Stardock/Ironclad employees venture over and register, please send me a PM on these forums and I'll give you a special rank so we know who you are... if you want, that is. ^_^

For established modders such as Uzii, you get your own rank too. :P

The system was attacked last weekend. They are taking corrective messures to fix it.. so yes they can have decent fourms, sorry they were not perfect.

To OP: You use godadddy??? you poor thing you..

I'm in! :P :D

Seriously though, a good idea. Last week I was out of the proverbial loop for over a day because the forums just refused to load. And I'd just updated to 1.2b and wasn't even sure if the new links had showed up, very frustrating.

Haha, yeah I use GoDaddy for domain services only. I haven't had any problems with them in the 6 years I've used them. :P

Edit: Yep, that's my point Uzii! Once my buddy gets his hosting stuff worked out, it'll be up. Hopefully that'll be today, if he doesn't get it fixed I may have to go host hunting, and man I hate that.. lol.

Anyone got 6 more arms and 3 heads (preferrably with decently smart brains still inside) for sale cheap?

Maybe then I'll be able to do everything I'd like to do with this game :P

That'd be pretty hot SpacePony, right now I was looking into getting one of the 15TB bandwidth plans so there'll be no problems with people downloading mods and such. Just can't find any companies I like. That and I don't feel like paying for a full year up-front. 8)

Although, 15TB/mo might be going overboard, lol. What do you think? Also - do you have a site I can check into your plans if I need a more permanent solution?

Lmao, I was bored waiting on my lunch to get done and I decided to see how time consuming it would be to throw up a simple 'Mod Maker' using PHP. After 5 minutes I can change the Max Hull, Max Shield and Base Squadrons for the Kortul Devastator and have my script render a new .entity file.

Just goes to show how easy it is to make the simple modifications for this game, and that's just awesome. I think I found my new project for when I get the site up and running... A ship stat modifier will be the first on the list!
