JesusIsGonnaOwnSatan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 JOKE. THEY JOKE. this is simply a brilliant productivity increasing stunt to devised by some corporate bigwig's neglected crackpot son to garner love from his failure of a father. no, seriously, after i recovered from the initial shock... March 30: APRIL FOOLS. I have now downloaded ALL the K1 mods, and have them safely backed up. I'm about to start helping DI with the TSL section. but in the case that this was rather masterminded by the crackpot son as a means of ultimate revenge for the neglect from his father, THEN WE LOVE YOU, FETT AND DI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xViiViD Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 thank god we have people like Marius...and im sure every modder out there will with no doubt mind have there mods hosted at another site.

Astor Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I seriously doubt that it is an April Fools joke. Seriously, it's a stupid theory. @Darth Ma3v3n: Yes, people would still need permission to upload anyone else's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you still might need permission? idk. There is a big issue with permissions, with regards putting mods on new or existing sites; it would need the modders permission, most modders will I would of though done what I did, which is host your mods at multiple places... Marius, DI, what about the great reviews? are they going to be saved? Nope.

Marius Fett Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Marius, DI, what about the great reviews? are they going to be saved? The files themselves are the most important, thus they are the main concern for us at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan7 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The files themselves are the most important, thus they are the main concern for us at the moment. I don't see a suitable method of saving the reviews, so they'll be lost TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your talking about your site; No offence, but this really raises a lot of questions... Firstly to my mind, I don't really know you from adam, so while I'm sure your intentions are honourable, how does the community know you can be trusted with modders work? What experience have you got of running a website? Especially a file hosting one? What mod archives do you have? What is your bandwidth limit and the amount of data you can host? What is your website policy regarding permissions, theft of work etc? There are already discussions behind the scenes about existing and new sites among those who have all the above, that is all I can say for now.

In lieu of saying mean things to all of you, I'll just let you know that March 30th is not, in any country, April Fools. Maybe if it was March 31st? Or April 1st? But not March 30th. _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderWiggin Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Also I wanted to tell everyone that if it was an April Fool's joke, it is one from the bigwigs of Ziff Davis, and not from our local Kfiles staff. I've been talking more to our staff - they should have all the files backed up within the next few hours. If it was a joke, I wouldn't be seeing people like MF, DI, Devon, and J7 scurrying about downloading from Kfiles sections at a time. _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewton Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I really don't think there would be a problem if we put all the old files back up on whatever new site we'll use. Just call it KOTOR Files, have the same staff, and everything's the same except for the host. It's not like taking it from PC Game Mods and putting it to KOTOR Files. Also, I'd advise everyone to leave the creation/management of the new main site to the professionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
