SHMF - a dedicated Silent Hunter mods host

[Carotio]

Presentation of Silent Hunter Mods Forum

As some of you are aware of, I have created a hosting site or rather a forum on my host, where I offer hosting for your mods for the SH serie, if you wish. Sofar, I host some mods for SH3 and SH4, but SHMF is open for hosting mods for SH5 too, when the first creative souls appear at that time...

Advantages of SHMF:
1) There's room for all mods made for the entire community to use.
2) Downloads of the most popular mods are fast and free. This includes supermods and radiomods.
3) All versions of Silent Hunter: 3+4+5
4) Both Atlantic and Pacific theater have mods represented.
5) SHMF is multi-lingual: English, Deutsch, Français, Castellano, Italiano & Dansk/Skandinavisk are allowed sofar. By permitting more languages, we'll gain the option of broader perspective of potential users.
6) If mod makers are able to make videos of their mods & upload to youtube, embedding a video in a release post is also an option. One just has to post the youtube url & automatically it's embedded.
7) The name is important too. Just make a google search of "silent hunter mods" and you'll see SHMF is one of the top search results, together with subsim. Using more than one host is never a stupid idea. Subsim offers hosting too. Maybe SHMF should be YOUR optional choice next time...

The site and forum have been prepaid till January 2012 with relative unlimited space and unlimited traffic per month.
And what does relative unlimited space means? It means that the mods hosted now are secured on a fast server, mostly paid out of my own pocket plus a few donations, and thus any future hosting of mods rely on donations. Else the storage will require an external free host such as mediafire or whatelse.
The donations are however stricly volontary, and guests or members are not required to donate in order to download.

Anyone, who wish to have their mods hosted with me, can:
1) get a personal ftp account, permanent or temporary depends how often you'll need it. Any modmaker can get help in a subforum for modmakers.
2) choose if you want your mods guest accessible or for members only. Mods containing music in any way are required to be members only.

For most recent updates to the TOS for SHMF, this is the thread to read:
http://www.silenthuntermods.com/foru....php?topic=6.0

I just ask of you of two simple things:
- Please make your mods JSGME compatible.
- Please upload and maintain your release threads yourself. If user support in another language than English is required, maybe I or another user can be of assistance with some translation; it has worked sofar.

For now, SHMF hosts:

Supermods:
SH5: None yet
SH4: TMO, RSRDC/OM, PE4/RE1, RFB & FOTRS
SH3: LSH3 & WAC

And hopefully more mods, like for SH5, may be on the way...
After all, the url has the right name...

The frontpage entry link is this:
http://www.silenthuntermods.com/
But more importantly, the url for the forum:
http://www.silenthuntermods.com/forum/

Should any of you have signed up to my forum, when it was at the old URL, you don't need to register again.

I have been participating in this game serie since SH1, been part of subsim since 8-21-2005, and I don't intend to go away, just like that. So if you think you can trust Neal with your precious mods, then know you can trust them to me as well.

Hey, I'm bumping this thread to let you SH5 modders know that when you're done with a mod, and it really doesn't need any more work to it, you can have it hosted in SHMF too.

Just head over to:
http://www.silenthuntermods.com/forum/
Sign up if you're not allready and make a copy of your release post(s) there.

If you're very productive and need ftp access to upload mods regularly, that can be arranged too.

\o/ .. had I known I'd have searched you out instead of using filefront.

Then sign up and get your work hosted there. Filefront is okay for WIP, I guess, but as soon as it's REL, then it should have a dedicated place, either here at subsim or in SHMF.
