Kendo 2 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Speaking of the ban hammer, some African dude is getting ready to get hammered. He's butting heads with vacant vagrant and that ignorant gash linspuppy in the debate threads. That is forum suicide. Not that it matters. There will be one less person sucking Dark0ne's servers for shit mods.
RitualClarity Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Their downloads have been working fine for a long time now. Their pages load like shit for the past week and a half now. Taking too long I just end up closing it. Though, it could just be Fallout New Vegas site. I haven't experienced the lag on their other nexusmods sites. I haven't really had any problems except when it was publicly announced that server maintenance or was down. Sometimes a bit faster and sometimes a bit slower but functional. People on-line at Nexus right now; 1283 People on-line at LL right now; 1450 Looks like one of Dark0ne's server problems have been solved...he's not using them...there's no traffic. That is one way to solve a problem Yeah, imagine that. He took the applications, getting people's hopes up and then gave the job to someone who didn't apply for it. Typical Dark0ne. And I've heard about that survey and it does ask what game sites you prefer. It would be funny fire shots over the Nexus bow and everyone slam him with Lover'sLab as their prefered site. OF COURSE the people taking that survey are the choir in the Church of Nexus (who else would bother?) and OF COURSE they are singing Nexus's praises....because that is the type of people Dark0ne surrounds himself with. *glittery gif* U R GREAT! *glittery gif* Yea.. that does suck but many businesses do that. If they know someone qualified they usually try to get them even if they aren't applying for the job.. However... was the individual hired because he truly was qualified or was he hired because he was DO friend?
mkprovince Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Yea.. that does suck but many businesses do that. If they know someone qualified they usually try to get them even if they aren't applying for the job.. However... was the individual hired because he truly was qualified or was he hired because he was DO friend? Well, "qualification" on the net is pretty much a blank piece of paper until shown what that person can really do in action. Therefore, I'm waiting to see the "upgrades" coming to fruition on Nexus. I myself agree wholeheartedly that a qualified personnel would beat a whole of long roads but just how qualified he is when compared to the other last-runners are pretty much a debate for the gods. I'm not even sure whether the term of "friend" can land you on D0's good side, to be honest. There must be a fundamentally more basic idea behind the employment somewhere; like he'll listen to whatever D0 has to say? Well, his position would land him in the crossfire between the Nexus users and the staffs. There's really no point of hiring someone who cannot take the flak in your stead now, would it?
DoctaSax Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Apparently after taking applications and getting it down to a few candidates he met with an old friend and gave them the job. Not the same job, apparently.

Dark0ne fucked off $250K of his members' money on server upgrades that didn't work. As long as he has flunkies around him that will bleat and moo everytime he says something he won't change and nietrher will Nexus. In the coming months (say around November) this will be a good thing.
Veladarius Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Apparently after taking applications and getting it down to a few candidates he met with an old friend and gave them the job. Not the same job, apparently. Sorry, I had trouble getting past the middle when he was proclaiming his love for this person. Why he bothered to bring up the other position in the first place is beyond me though.

In the coming months (say around November) this will be a good thing. Mind explaining a bit about the part I bolded? Why would that be a good thing? Fallout 4. The influx of people, new and old hitting the site can equal or surpass the problems they had when Skyrim went on sale at Steam. That is, if they continue having server issues. I wonder if the first FO4 mod will be retextures or hi-res replacers.
Kendo 2 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Mind explaining a bit about the part I bolded? Why would that be a good thing? Look at it this way; in November FO4 will be released. There will not be a GECK or even scripts to open meshes with Blender or 3DMax. That means no real modding until after the first of the year. November will also be when Bethesda.net comes on-line. Its own forums and own community, and exclusive distribution of the FO4 GECK and the software to make monetized mods a reality. That leaves Nexus (the Microsoft of modding) blowing in the wind. Every move Dark0ne has been making to clean up Nexus to make it more politically correct will have been wasted. Bethesda.net is getting ready to take a huge bite out of the modding scene pie, and Steam and Nexus will suffer for it.

Every move Dark0ne has been making to clean up Nexus to make it more politically correct will have been wasted. Bethesda.net is getting ready to take a huge bite out of the modding scene pie, and Steam and Nexus will suffer for it. That doesn't sound good at all. Mind calling Nexus the Microsoft of modding is a bit too damning. Yep they have overly authoritarian moderators, but they form a lovely buffer between the hoi polloi and other sites, while still providing a service for 'them' and 'us'. (Also they really haven't changed their model since inception, which Microsoft seems to be doing on a yearly fashion basis now). Edit:- I've belonged to paying professional sites where you get more abuse than this site, (which is free). I suspect that is down to site population and the whole 'don't go there' mystic thing from other sites posters. The problem arises if this is the actual alternative without another site being in between the 'official' site and this.
mkprovince Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Ah, Fallout... Never played a game of that particular series. The very existence of this Bethesda.net is going to affect Nexus' little world for sure. Modders can still aim to produce mods that don't have a price tag on them so whether Nexus is really going to be hung up high and dry is debatable right now with the other game repositories. That really depends on whether Bethesda really wants to eliminate all other modding sites affecting their games. Wait, wouldn't that mean Loverslab is another potential target if that's true? This doesn't really sound good at all...
Guest endgameaddiction Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 It would only count on Fallout 4 and any Bethesda game after that if they do push forward the monetize and want absolute control of the mod community on their web site. I wouldn't include Skyrim and anything that came before since those really have no purpose on Bethesda.net. It's just a waste of bandwidth. But who knows, they could pull a dick move and want control of every mods for all their games and shafting every mod community that supports their games. That would really give them a bad reputation alone by many. But Nexus, LL or any other community shouldn't have a problem continuing to host mods for Fallout 3, Fallout NV, Oblivion and Skyrim. Again, I would blame Robin for trying to be the biggest and baddest mod community for everyone to upload and download mods. Unlike Nexus, LL isn't looking for attention, nor is it trying to be your one stop shop for Bethesda mods. And this is where Bethesda just saw how well established a "community" can be. Not by how it is. They are just looking at the numbers. And Nexus is so eagerly to show how many members they have registered, I can see why Bethesda would want to monetize mods.
Kendo 2 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I'm fairly certain Bethesda.net will have free mods as well as paid modding. Tod Howard said as much when he stated 'free mods for consoles'. Being how corporations are, there must be terms and contracts between Sony, Microsoft and Zenimax to make that happen. In the scheme of things, Nexus and Steam are small potatoes LLC tinker-toy companies. There is no way Sony or Microsoft would agree to give cock-Robbin' Scott or Gabby Gabe access to their software and there is NO WAY Zenimax is going to open a closed market (paid modding) when they don't have to. Steam and Nexus will not be competitors with Zenimax since free mods are nothing to compete for. As far as adult mods go, Bethesda knows about them and I doubt they really care. Unless they change the licensing for the game and the GECK to specifically prohibit it, we have nothing to worry about. The only person who needs to be worried about FO4 is Dark0ne. His pop-up viewing site traffic is getting ready to be split by a multimillion dollar corporation with their own game site that will probably be at the top of any search done on Google or Yahoo for FO4 modding. What's really going to zap his queer ass is when the service provider slot he drooled over doesn't get offered again. Bethesda won't need him of Gabe's Steam. They'll have their own site, and it won't be the stupidity of Nexus or Steam. And to Dark0ne (who I know reads things on Lover's Lab); FUCK.YOU.

"zap his queer ass" I assume you are meaning that in a flippant post neo-nazi homophobic ironic jokey way, because otherwise... You are a very bad person
Kendo 2 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I wonder if the first FO4 mod will be retextures or hi-res replacers. Of course. Nexus users love super-duper resized vanilla textures that use the same normal maps the game comes with. I guess people are too stupid to know a 512x512 blurry texture is still a low rez 52x512 blurry mess when it gets resized to 4096x4096. Nexus is FULL of mods like that. They do nothing and have thousands of endorsements because Nexus users are morons. That doesn't sound good at all. Mind calling Nexus the Microsoft of modding is a bit too damning. Okay, how about the FaceBook of modding. I assume you are meaning that in a flippant post neo-nazi homophobic ironic jokey way, because otherwise... You are a very bad person What gave you the impression I'm a nice person? And I'm certainly not PC. Anyway, I disparage Dark0ne's masculinity because I know it irks to him no fucking end. I didn't mean to insult anyone who might be gay by comparing them to Dark0ne.

It's totally up to him/her/they what they allow on it. I don't really see why any sort of abuse should be leveled at them regarding their policies, (specifically personal abuse). The internet is totally open, (at the time of writing this). If you think you can do a better job, set up your own website.

I guess if I could make $42.50 an hour and get 10 hours of overtime each week then I could quit my grown up man job and do something any high school chick can do. But I have more self respect than that. If you're the social justice type or sensitive then you might want to consider adding me to your ignore list.

Bethesda.net is getting ready to take a huge bite out of the modding scene pie, and Steam and Nexus will suffer for it. DO needs to do much more to be PC. Alot more however it does seem as if he is at least aware that something is wrong. However I agree the amount of traffic going to Steam and Nexus will likely diminish when BesNet goes on line. It will likely suck up many of the mods however only for FO4. Will it be a good thing. Not sure. however being "in house" they can respond more quickly to issues as they arise. Might be good in the long run. Also maybe more monies will be offered for the split since Steam isn't part of it? Ah, Fallout... Never played a game of that particular series.

This doesn't really sound good at all... BesNet wouldn't want to eliminate other modding sites. There will be mods for the community that they wouldn't want present on their page. They want a piece (of the paid moddding) pie. That is all. It is what they thought of all those years ago when they wrote the EULA of GECK or any other modding tools that they released. (besides to protect their assets) Keep in mind that many mods that have been created are hosted on multiple sites. Likely will continue (free versions) to happen. The key is if they was forward thinking and focused on creating tools and equipment that aids in the development of mods not hinder them as some of their moves in the past has done. I'm fairly certain Bethesda.net will have free mods as well as paid modding. Tod Howard said as much when he stated 'free mods for consoles'.

They'll have their own site, and it won't be the stupidity of Nexus or Steam. And to Dark0ne (who I know reads things on Lover's Lab); FUCK.YOU. I am also confident that BesNet will have free mods. It is a must. Something for someone to join and obtain as an entrance way to paid modding. They are just creating an environment that they can control and make some added $$$ off of. Being that it is their site they can pull mods or make changes as needed quickly and effectively. Something that wasn't able to be done before with Steam paid modding issue. Those crappy mods that poked fun at paid mods etc for example. When it comes to game and modding.. BesNet is the company. Nexus and Steam.. not so much. Not because of size etc but because of power. Bethesda can shut down almost anything pretty quickly if they intended and put large pressure where they can't. Not a company you want to fuck with fortunately it is to their advantage to have a reputation for modding games so they can't be asses too much.. Besthesda knows about adult mods but I believe just want to ignore it. I am sure they don't like some of the rep that they get for having games that can do .. some of the things that .. well .. Lovers lab mods can do . If you get my point. I agree DO will be hurt on traffic however how much.. that is where I am not sure. It will suck for him not to be given the Service Provider slot.. but who knows it might happen later after things settle down. Bethesda is anything but stupid. If there is a wayto make money for "free" than they will be more than willing to do so. If DO is able to get his "shit" together and improve his site and willing to follow Bethesda's rules he might be given it later. This is all still liquid for the most part. Time will tell where and how much trouble it will be. And to Dark0ne (who I know reads things on Lover's Lab); FUCK.YOU. Kendo's mantra..
Jack of All Trades Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 I wonder if Dark0ne even plays games like the TES series and Fallout, if he does I'd love to know what mods he uses XD
RitualClarity Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 It is likely that he does. What he plays is a different matter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NexusMods
Kendo 2 Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 I wonder if Dark0ne even plays games like the TES series and Fallout, if he does I'd love to know what mods he uses XD He plays. I remember him bitching about Nexus members doing something that interfered with him playing Skyrim. He doesn't mod though. Nexus is owned by a fanboy. Go figure.

Having caught a number of your posts here on these forums, your wit and cynicism makes me want a highlight feature for whenever you post. At the WORST your funny, but I can't think of a time when you didn't at least say something worth giving a thought.

Wait, he's not playing on the Nexus master computer, is he? Could it be all the downtime on Nexus (the maintenance periods) are actually just D0 cutting off all access so that he can play?
Kendo 2 Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 I don't remember the specifics, just him acting like 9 yr old and people posting the sarcastic 'Really?' as a response. This was back in 2011 when he was doing all of those ignorant server changes. It never occurred to me that he might be using his own PC to manage Nexus or that he uses a dedicated master for something other than running the site. Nothing about him surprises me anymore. Someone could say 'Dark0ne started WW2, is responsible for climate change and he killed Jesus.' and I would think 'Probably so'.
