For me, the only way of getting more visitors is making FS a mod hostee like Moddb. Not like, but with forums for new mods and modders (like Revora).

Am I missing something here?

*wonders what we're doing now*

what do you mean?

In my personal opnion, your mod "hosting guide" isn't helpfull for new guys that need a handy. Also if you look to SWR's you'll see that their policys about hosting are much better for new mods.

Sorry, but I'd like further clarification on that point. I don't understand how you think their hosting policy is more beneficial to new modifications. At all.

The only difference is there is that they 'require' a beta. We do not, however we do reserve the right to ask for one.

They don't ask. Here FS ask.

"SWR" said:

What is required of a modification or total conversion before it will be hosted here at SWR Productions:

-A solid design plan, with accompanying documentation, showing what your modification or total conversion is intended to be like.

Details are always subject to change so in this case a draft does suffice.

-Members on the team who have a proven history. This can be anything from renders or a gallery that showcase the team members' work.

If the modification or total conversion does not have any of the above the following may be accepted as an alternative:

-A working beta that shows the mod to be in a playable or, at least, in a release worthy state. An alpha with untextured models does not suffice.

And to that, I raise you:

If possible, a working testing version (alpha) of the project.

We don't require an alpha, but it is obviously a bonus if someone can present us with a little bit of work.

They say exactly the same thing we do. If the documentation and other such work is not available (or at an acceptable stage) then a beta is required. As do we.

I'd like to add that a HUGE difference is that SWR hosts mods only, while FS hosts any game-related project.

Since you are already considering changing member titles, why not change the forum/ subforum names to more suit the site's new theme? Like change "General discussion" to "The Core" or SYD to "The Cooling Tower" or something like that.

Also, these.

I personally think SYD's name itself is just too significant
