The bloodthirst mod, where I participate in forum debate, just had an interresting post.
The forum members more or less demanded of the dev team to release some news, as the last news post was in November, resulting in very few new faces on the forum.

I know it is not that bad here, last news were first Janurary, but I think we should aim for releasing news every month, to let people know we are still alive. I think Chrome has told me before that he didn't want to post news too often, but once a month would definately not be too often, and I know we have a lot of model-in-progress shots we could release.

Also, could we have one of the 'vote for this mod on moddb'-buttons on the site? Even if we just got to the HL2 top 100, it would give us more attention than the 400 mods that are not.  :wink:

migb is right. More News and perhaps more PR can make the Mod attractive for people who hasn´t heared of RS2 yet.

We are currently working toward a specific newsworthy goal for Febuary, which our IRC idlers have already had a taster of.  Shouldnt take too long now.  When it's ready you'll see (and I hope, like)  :wink:

Nice  Cheesy
Remember to inform moddb of the updates

Another thing: We should exchange banners with other HL2 mods/community sites, to attract more people.

To save Tyhp some time, here is a banner exchange invitation from the Bloodthirst mod:
Quote
We believe that the Half-Life 2 Community should co-operate and that the different modifications and sites should help each other out in order to give you, the Half-Life 2 gamer, the very best experience possible. We don't believe in meaningless rivalries or competition. Instead, we like to promote others mods and sites so that they all have a better chance of growing and developing.

This is why, like so many other Half-Life 2 sites, we're running an affiliation initiative. This is a simple button banner link exchange between sites in order to manipulate and share the incoming traffic. What this is all about is simply this: We'll put a little button banner linking back to your website into our Affiliates box, and in return you would do the same for us. So, if you wish to become our affiliate, please drop me an e-mail to dmitrif@bloodthirst.org with your site button banner and link details. Hope to hear back from you!


Added: Hey, are we even on moddatabase any more?
I did a search to see what we had there, but I couldn't find our mod...

OK, seems good.
But it annoys me that you can't find it by searching for either 40k or rival species  :?

Remember to update the info now that the gameplay pool have closed.
