ghastley mods, hosting my own. Options

[ghastley]

Since I've pulled all my mods off the Nexus, as I don't agree with their new TOS, I'm hosting them on my own site, just like I've always done for beta tests. This thread is for discussion of the site, which I won't post a link to here, but will provide one via PM. That will hopefully stop it being made public via google before I'm ready. It's under "Other" as there are mods for everything in the Elder Scrolls series but Arena.

I could keep all the discussion in PM's, but then you won't see each others' comments, and I'll have to act as mailman all the time.

Once it's all there, then the URL will be made public and this thread can keep running.

Just a quick clarification:

The mod documentation in mock UESP format that I ship with my mods has been visible for a long time, and was linked to by the old Nexus descriptions. Those have been indexed by google for a long time. They also don't include any download links, or ones back up to hidden pages.

What is under construction is the part that Nexus was doing for me, with the mod overview blurb, pictures, and download links. Each of the mods needs re-packaging, as every readme text says that they're exclusively on Nexus and contact me there. Until I finish all that, I'd just get complaints about what's broken, so I'm laying low for a while.

I'm also not worried about the links scattered around to beta versions. It's clear what they were, and nobody's going to care if anyone downloads obsolete stuff using those.
