Hey guys. Love the forums and just a quick question: What warrants a specific mod to be "Hosted"? I see that nearly all of the hosted mods are total conversions, and I'm curious because I'm working on a total conversion for IV and it kept bugging me all last night about if it would be hosted, if it shouldn't, etc.

Mods are pretty much only hosted if it's a massive community project with a big team. Something with 5, 6, even 7 people, and especially where the mod leader approves new members, is an individual mod. On the other hand, a community project like Myriad where there were lots of people involved and anybody could submit content (you just had to reserve a lot) are community mods and as such are officially hosted.

So, would it be possible if my "Our Ugly World" mod to be hosted? Not only there's a lot of people working on it (a link to it is in my signature), but its also a pretty big conversion. Sorry if I sound like an egotistical asshole saying this, but there's a good amount of stuff that could warrant a host

You posted this a month ago. If they wanted to host it, they likely would have done so by now. Your mod isn't any different than anyone else's so if you get a forum for yours than everyone else is going to want one which is an issue we don't really need to deal with.

Ok, sorry to bug you. Just didn't want to make a new topic though, doing that kinda seems to be a "grey area" around here.

IV:SA didn't even get it, so how would you expect this to get it?

IV:SA's simply a conversion, as far as I know though.

Yeah but they had put their blood and sweat together to get it successful.

As far as I know, I think Hosted Mods are for those sections where Mods like DYOM, GTA:SOL, etc. need a specific forum for themselves so that everyone can post their doubts, feedback and suggestions separately.

I'd like to think everybody who makes a mod does that.

The difference is that theirs is a closed team where each member must be approved to join, and a mod is not running it.
