Rejoice fellow haters!
I will be closing up shop! Now? no. Tomorrow? no. Next week? Doubtable. In A month? More than likely.
There is no solid proof, but I recieved a comment here on the forum from DesuChan. I do not 100% believe it is, but I can say about 85% of me believes it is and she gave word she will be reuploading the mods in about a month. So until that time comes my little business here will be open, but once I get confirmation those mods are up, I will remove her mods from my mediafire.
Don't go getting a big head now, however, it's not because all the flaming and the "moderator" who came here is the reason I am closing down. No, quite the contrary, the words you guys said motivated me to keep it open longer quite frankly. When you fight fire with fire, you only get worst results: keep that in mind children.
No, instead I talked to a fellow friend of mine on the Official forums. They're open expression of their thoughts on mod exploitation gave me full closure on accepting that it is time to close down. Surprisingly the conversation wasn't up in flames, it was peaceful and calm - no hate. He understood my side of the story, understood my intentions, ect. He disagreed with what I did, but he did not think it is entirely this terrible thing.
It is true, there is no real law that protects modders work. Technically your work that you make is owned by Bethesda, if you want to be technical about ownership. It is just a courtesy to not steal. Atleast I wasn't making new mods by ripping Desu's stuff from her mods and putting it in my mod without permission and without credit: I still credited her, and I didn't even touch the mod. I did repackage them a little differently so people can also view the "Redistribution Readme" so people understood full and well what they were doing.
Also, a fellow follower said a beautiful line that really sums up this whole situation.
""Please stop distributing mods without permission of the author. Not only is it rude to the author, but stuff like this usually ends up causing modders to leave the community entirely because of inconsiderate jerks like yourself."
This part of your quote is so backwards, I can't believe you actually think like that. IF a mod must be hosted elsewhere outside of the authors preferred methods, it means the author doesn't want it released... which in turn means people already don't have access to the authors mods. Distributing elsewhere shows the author that there is a demand for the mods and people are willing to go through extremes to use said mod. At this point, it is the AUTHOR ruining the community by being so secretive with regards to free mods on a GAME that people simply want to enjoy. People appreciate the work of good authors and want to be able to use their mods, it is retarded to create private mods." ~Accordian
I would wish this could have been handled slightly more civilaly though, nonetheless, it is over.
For those of you who put in a request:
To the anonymous user on post: "A Boost In Popularity"
I am sorry, I am not familiar with the mods in the picture, though the sky looks beautiful. Ask around on the forums, you'll find answers, or I am sure some people here who stalk my blog would be capable of answering.
To Zero who commented on the post: "On The Search"
I did find Friends And Lovers 1.51 in english, however, I am not 100% certain, but I do believe that the original author is still active. The work I do (did) was finding dead mods that are no longer easily accesible due to the original author removing them, and I reupload them.
Lastly, I remember someone mentioning somewhere that reuploading these mods are bad because if the original author updated them the reuploads won't be updated properly.
Yes, well, as mentioned in the above paragraph, I don't take active modders work. DesuChan was no longer an active modder. She removed all her files, and people loved her work. So, I reuploaded them.
So I hope you guys enjoy. I will continue to answer your emails. As for you "LHammond", I would expect more professionalism out of the Nexus to actually take the time to communicate through a more private means. Since this blog is open to anyone being able to post, even if not a blogspot user, I do not believe you are a real moderator. No matter the offense a user has done (unless that person has literally killed your staff) then there is no excuse for a lack of professionalism. Even when I am frustrated at customers I don't retaliate at them with anger. I calmly express my thoughts. Though in this case there is no real means of telling your emotions you put in, as text does not properly convey these emotions entirely. However, in this case I would expect the Nexus to take the time to write an email and send it to me. If you have the ability to know that I have two profiles there is no excuse for you not to know my email that I signed up with to the Nexus.
Please, children, be professional about things!
I will be contacting you, Nexus, to get a real response. I expect it to be done civilized and professional. My response will be as professional as your response should be. And believe me, I don't just say this out of my own frustration. I can tell you that a lack of a professionalism is a good way to loose business and you risk getting a law suit.
Oh, and seriously: This is th elast thing, but people who wish to try to communicate to me about serious matters on my choices who are directly affected by my actions: Please realize this blog is open to anyone to respond; meaning anyone could pose as anyone. So communicate with me in a proper way to show proof it is not a fake so I can either read your words or just fluff you off because I don't believe you are the real person. Remember, on the internet others cannot see your face (unless you are using a webcam).
Take care all and remember to send those emails!
