hellanios Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 On a side note, I love this forum. I view this place as a little safe haven for posting and reading legitimate concerns within the community without worrying about the storm outside :)Yes, I was thining about this, too. Maybe we could do something like contact chesko, isoku and other modders who get hammered and tell them that they could always come here and continue their work. Both the stuff and the members could provide valuable help and info.
Guest Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Ok. What I replied is to perhaps update WATER (obviously it is still free) and remove the rest of the mods. The rest like Better Dynamic snow have too many options for Steam and are better suited to the Nexus. Now I hope I can get a reply from him. How much hate is there by the way? There are petitions and stuff then? Are people snubbing the paid mods really badly?
oqhansoloqo Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 On a sidenote, people are already posting the paid mods for free all over the internet. I won't give links for obvious reasons but any 5 year old could find them.I must be retarded then... I actually tried a couple times to find these said pirated copies just to see what people are talking about with them being available around the internet. I haven't seen one anywhere. I obviously don't know how to search for warez I guess...
TehKaoZ Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) @SparrowPrince Just browse through Isoku's threads both on Steam and Nexus (Steam is much worse). I personally haven't seen much worse than profanity and name calling, but many have said threats even occurred.

keithinhanoi Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Alright, another bit of news. Welcome to the first mod with actual ad popups in it. Midas Magic has a 4% chance upon casting a spell of triggering a popup advertising the paid version of the mod. On a sidenote, people are already posting the paid mods for free all over the internet. I won't give links for obvious reasons but any 5 year old could find them. Ad popup? It's nagware, or perhaps nagmod, to coin a new term. Your link is to a html snapshot of the comments thread for that mod, which is now unavailable on Steam Workshop. I'm seeing this all over the place - posts that I read and when I go back they've been edited, or worse the thread or the whole mod is gone. Very volatile, and confusing. 1
Nozzer66 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 'I think back to a couple months ago when there was the memorial for that poor kid who died, Taylor. I felt like we all came together as a community to grieve. But now we've been torn apart.' Had forgotten about that, They refer to this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/63583/? And now look what's going on. It's very sad, really.

Guest Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Thanks Kaos. I put my stance at the top of my Ruffled Feather mod. I always said that to people, so why not keep it permanent? I don't hate people for wanting more money, I hate these sly things people can add to their mods. I also hate Valve for trying to split the community again (although I hate their waste of time DRM anyway, which is why I bought from GoG a lot). I don't get 'why now' too. It is too late to introduce this now.

Very volatile, and confusing.That's why I used a html snapshot, with everyone's comments being deleted these last 2 days, it's better to take preemptive measures.
Guest Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) I just noticed my downloads have had a jump in the last few days. 2.5k a day just over. That only usually happens after a massive update, but it wasn't. Before it was 2.5k in 3 days. Edit: Nice post by Emma. Edited April 25, 2015 by Guest
Nozzer66 Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Maybe people who were using RWT and have deserted Isoku's mods looking for a replacement in WATER? Cause that's what I'd have done. Edited April 25, 2015 by Nozzer66

CJ2311 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Posted April 25, 2015 Maybe they're worried you'd put your mods behind a paywall and are downloading them just in case that happens
Marthenil Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Just nitpicking here but since this is a relatively unknown forum with not many people attending it, and possibly the best way to reach you: I ALSO DO NOT TAKE DONATIONS, BUT I DO NOT CONDONE DONATIONS! Do you hate donations or do you mean "condemn" ?? :P Edited April 25, 2015 by Marthenil
