Just ribbing you a bit.

We pronounce that Russ

[-SWCowboy.]

hehehe or as my neice Kharma calls me, Uncle Wuss seems to work too these days

[onelifecrisis]

BTW, how come this isn't also stickied in the SH4 mods forum? :hmm:

[-SWCowboy.]

It used to be but it was removed long ago

Our experience has taught us the best way to let people know about us is to uphold a good reputation on other community sites, be as helpful as possible and display something in our sig linking back to BtS It's worked pretty good for us with 401 members to day since January

Might wanna update Russ...

[-SWCowboy.]

The update is that there is no update yet....we've got everything setup but Phantom's got lots of other sites to finish before he can work on ours again so whenever I can persuade him to just link things together then we'll be back in business.


I am, however, tossing around the idea that registration may not be required unless you're planning on hosting files. Just an idea since our bandwidth still remains relatively low at this point... :hmm:

Account banned without even an issued warning, just because I refused to log back into the forum as a result of a change in the chain of command.

BtS FAQ: http://www.bts-mods.com/?page=faq

Why should I have my mods hosted on BtS-Mods.com?
There are a number of reasons you should have your mods hosted with us. For starters:
-We are more reliable than FileFront or RapidShare
-Your mods never get deleted for any reason

Hollow words...

My mods, at least, are no longer available at BtS.

[-SWCowboy.]

Ok here's the latest scoop:

I huge sigh of relief coming from the homefront, I won't be deploying anytime soon. That was one of the many reasons why I haven't been around as much due to work being so hectic.

Now the better news, the files are once again available for download on our site:
http://www.bts-mods.com/?page=files

For now you won't have to register to download them, but you'll have to be sure of what you want because the library is still in it's infancy and has some more growing pains to do, but at least you now have file access!

More to come - stay tuned!

Long time huh bros?


Been a little busy getting ready for a new addition to my family and haven't had much time to mod or work on the site. That's changing. Last month I got a PM from Sailor Steve, and I regret not knowing my password because I would've started this sooner had I read it when he sent it to me.

I get the vibe that there's something not 'centralized' about BtS-Mods.com
That's my fault and if it truly is the case then I apologize.

Me and Tuddley are going to start reworking the site. It started today, I tore down our old files page and building a new layout from scratch. It's going to be organized by username. Once you click on say...Tuddley's page, you'll see icons of his mods. I'll organize them by either SH3 or SH4, and once you click on the icon you'll get a new page showing you the details, size, and description along with a bigger picture.

I'm doing this by hand, it'll take us a while so please be patient with us!! We'll get through each modder as we progress along.

I encourage people to come check us out and get their mods hosted with us. By and far, we're still the best site to have your work hosted with. In the year we've been doing mod hosting I haven't deleted a single mod yet, and won't delete one ever. Our server still has space for millions more mods, and we're always ready to host more for the community!

I realize some changes we've made in the past were erratic at best, especially when we switched our files from site to forums and back again etc. For that, I apologize.

Standby, got some great changes coming to a computer screen near you!

[-SWCowboy.]

I've spent the last hour and a half working on this new layout for BtS-Mods, this is gonna be the new look for us for a very long time. Hand-typing this code sure isn't a walk in the park but it does look pretty dang good!

http://www.bts-mods.com/?page=sh3-skins

We'll be doing this for all of our categories, each page will have 30 downloads and I expect to have my modifications for this site completed by at least the New Year. 26 mods down, about 400 left to go.

I sincerely hope you guys like what we're working on, as always I'm open to suggestion so please, don't be scared, I won't bite - I'd love to know what you guys want so I can improve it for everyone!

Nice job! I think alternative download sites are very important for us living in eastern europe. (eg: Turkey) getting a file from Filefront is a PITA, goes through after trying for an hour or two. So thanks for the effort! and sorry if i'm beating a dead horse

[-SWCowboy.]

I took down the old site for BtS-Mods today; our old blue layout. Instead of what you remember we now have a shiny new green colored site with a few new toys to play with:

-horizontal CSS menu with drop-down links
-scrolling news blocks with link bar on the left hand side

I still need to add all the links to the menu, and I still need to fix all the tables surrounding the download links, but overall I'm pretty impressed with how this turned out, I hope you guys are too!


...back to work now

[Sailor Steve]

Looks good so far!

[-SWCowboy.]

This is the absolute last time I decide to take on a complete overhaul of my site, I think it looks pretty good too, glad you like it Steve!
