File Hosting - Link to original File Hosting Thread

Please don´t use Rapidshare to host your files, many people can´t download from there due to the way Rapidshare works, also they delete files that haven´t been downloaded for 30 days.

Filefront allows files up to 1GB and they don´t automatically delete old files.

MediaFire allows files up 100MB, supports download managers and currently holds files for an unlimited time.

File Hosting for the SH Community by SWCowboy.

If you wanna make sure that your files are always available for download, upload them to at least two different file sharing services.

Thread Tags - Link to original thread tags post

Please use the following tags when you start a new thread:

[WIP] for work-in-progress mods
[REL] for released mods
[REQ] for mod requests
[TEC] for technical discussions

A few examples:
[TEC] How can I edit .sim files?
[REQ] More deck gun ammo
[WIP] Skin repaint for Gato class

One advantage is that you can search for those tags using the forum search, this make it possible to, for example, get a list of all released or WIP mods.
