Hi All,

I have noticed almost no one uploads any files to our downloads section.  Is there anything I can do to encourage using our site instead of filefront or what ever?

We have this site until *at least* 2014 and more if I renew (which really doesn't cost that much, in the scheme of things).  Filefront seems to delete files too soon, in my opinion.

Let me know what you think!

Don't believe everything you read on the internet

I'll be uploading any maps/mods that I make to the Downloads section I just have not finished any yet.

Some of the descriptions are kinda lacking in specifics and are pretty vague, I'll add some map summaries to them in the comments. We could also link this archive to the "holy map review thread", as many of the links on there are dead or go to the non-existent MPC links.
Both of those things would help gain an edge "against" file front, and ultimately encourage others to use this site.

For the preexisting files, I've fixed about 25% of the MPC links.  We have the files, but the link format is slightly different and uses SWBFgamers instead.

But any newly uploaded files will have the proper formatting for SWBFgamers and so it should not be a discouragement to modders uploading files here.

I just thought of something a Released Assets section in the Downloads section would be nice.

OK, i made a new downloads section--let me know if there are any permissions issues or other issues with it.

Thanks for the suggestion!

This is off-topic and the link on the home page of SWBFgamers does work.
