Please update the ModDB Page

<div class="IPBDescription">For the mod's sake</div>I was recently checking the ModDB site for the top 100 Mods of the Year, and I found NS's original award for Mod of the Year back in the day.
I then checked the page for this mod; it's still listed as a Half Life 2 mod. I'm so damn surprised that this hasn't been addressed yet.

Please update it. Please begin adding news bits to the ModDB site again. This is a direct and simple way to rekindle interest in this mod turned game. I love this mod too much to let this sort of thing go.

    I think it hasn't been updated because NS2 is not a mod, but a complete stand alone game with it's own engine.

    Good point. I wish we could automatically cross-post our blogs and news updates there. They get a lot of traffic but it's a pain to manually add each news post when we do it and I know I won't do that every time. Maybe one or two E-Team folks could take over that responsibility as well as keeping the page updated with latest screenshots, info, etc? Any volunteers?

    Does anyone know if you can even add other moderators to a mod/game? I don't see that anywhere.

    If you work out a way to do it I'll help keep it up to date.

    That certainly didn't stop the guys at IsoTX from doing media releases for Warlord.

    It was a guess. Evidently it was the wrong one.

    OK it looks like the best option here is indeed adding one or more ModDB users as admins for our <a href="http://www.moddb.com/games/natural-selection-2" target="_blank">Natural Selection 2 page</a>. The same folks could update our NS1 page every once in awhile as necessary although it probably won't need to change much at this point.

    If you're interested, please write me at charlie@unknownworlds.com, with your forum handle, ModDB handle and anything that might convince me you're passionate and going to do a good job and not fill it with Viagra/Cialis ads...

    Great Idea Flayra, hopefully you get someone good to do that job.

    You need to make a group (e.g. 'NS developers'), make it invite only, and then connect it to the mod using

    <user> > Mods > <mod> > edit mod details (under the 'mod profile' section)

    Then you invite the members you want, edit the group details to make them moderators and change their permissions, and they should be able to post news.

    But it gives us that extra stamina to post long ardurous TLDR topics. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    On a serious note, yes news needs to spread that NS2 isn't a mod and is continually being updated with -----><u><b>Developer</b></u><----- feedback. With the current gaming situation of EA bashing (they desrve it) and Monolith 16:9 PC aspect ratio only (Fear 2 is gonna fail hard), this would be a good time to suck all those players in (without too much trickery) with the most promising FPS game that is not created by Valve.

    Am I to believe all the info on the mod-db page? Is the game actually going to be released on X360?

    Charlie, if you're going to put a nix on Viagra and Cialis ads, you've already doomed your game. Sorry. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    And they even talk about it in their modcast. =] NS2 has come back into the spotlight of moddb regulars.
