Yes, BtS is back !!!!!!!!!!

Back in January of 2007, -SWCowboy, Capzap1970, and Koondawg started the original BtS-Mods.com. BtS is short for Beyond the Shadows, and is the sister site to BtS-Gaming.com which is a online gaming community for America's Army and Call of Duty.

Due to some problems with Spammers hyjacking a database, and software issues, the old site had to be closed. Basically the server host was not built for what we use the database for. Russ (-SWCowboy) had no choice in the matter, he even received some penalty fees which were outrageous. This all happened at a bad time also, because Russ was busy transferring to a new unit in the Navy, looking for a new house for his wonderful wife and baby girl, and working hard with another website.

Capzap1970 and myself were the current Admins for the site, and we enjoyed it so much, we put our heads together to come up with a plan to get BtS back up and running. Capzap suggested to me over an MSN chat, that maybe we could take over the site with Russ' blessing. After Russ returned from a deployment, he graciously gave us permission and the rights to use the BtS name.

Thankfully, just before the "crash", I created a full website backup, and preserved all mod files along with their thumbnails. Unfortunately, all posts made from the day BtS-Mods opened until July of 2009 were lost. Even though we have to start over from scratch, we will provide all the same services as before, and more. We currently have U-boat Skins, Ships, Intro Screens, Supermods (GWX and WAC), Maps, Utilities, and much more. At the moment, we are still uploading all the files, so it will still take a bit of time to get them all transferred and put up on download pages. We will carry as many SH3, SH4, and SH5 mods as we can cram into 1TB of disk space. Eventually, we will also start setting up downloads for other games as well, like IL2, Flight Simulator X, and any other requests we might get.

Myself and Capzap would like to thank Russ for teaching us everything about running a download site, and setting the platform to run it with a friendly and helpful atmosphere. We also want to thank Neal for allowing us to post this sticky here, and hope we can work together to keep our Silent Hunter experience the best it can be, and continue to make it better.

Thank you everyone,
The BtS Team

The day has finally arrived. Come one, come all !!!!!

I've turned my Spam Filter up a notch, I'm not in the mood to sell Viagra and KY Jelly.

The following registration questions are as follows :

1) The Tower of London is in which city ? .... london
2) The SH Series is made by which company ? .... ubisoft

Excuse the mess, but we are still under construction, and uploading our files. Most importantly, we're back.
