Mod Gallery / Ad Submission Thread

Post by SHOUTrvb »

Hello friends and colleagues! Shout here officially announcing a feature you guys may have noticed about the home page in your time here over the last few days, the Modder Gallery. While I was redesigning the front page of this site, I decided that HaloMods needed some more user-interactivity with its home page. The old one was just built for news, and barely flowed with even that. The users didn't have much say with what was posted, and the people who did rarely posted anything. After a while, people simply stopped going to the front page and skipped straight the forums. So the feature I'm announcing today, the Modder Gallery, is one of the many ways I hope to change that. Got a mod that you worked hard on, but simply isn't getting the attention you feel it deserves? Or what about a Forge map that you spent days on learning all the cool tricks in an effort to build a unique map for your friends? Or maybe you're the programmer type and think you've made something revolutionary for the community, and you need to get the word out? Guess what, The Modder Gallery is here for you now. HaloMods is now allowing you guys, the loyal community, to submit your mods/maps/programs for active display. How long it's displayed will usually depend on how many items we have waiting in the queue for rotation, and how popular the item becomes after being added into rotation. To keep everyone happy, we have to have priorities. ;) Now the fun part, you are now officially allowed to start posting here to have your item added to the queue. I've included some rules/instructions below that must be followed before being added, otherwise your post will simply be removed in order to preserve neatness.

And here they are:
  • Must include Prefix pertaining to the style of item. i.e. [APP]/[MOD]/[MAP]/etc
  • You must include a thumbnail to be displayed in the gallery. Size: 545h x 215w.
  • Image must also be hosted off-site. We'll upload it ourselves here.
  • If you're a friend recommending a mod for someone else, you must include who the author is.
  • A link to the item must be included in post. Full url, please.
  • Must link to on-site items.
  • Please include a very brief description of the item. We will, however provide one if you don't.
Take note of this format:

Code: Select all

[b]Item Title[/b]
[i]Brief Description[/i]
[img]url to item thumbnail[/img]
[url]http://halomods.com/forums/etcetera[/url]
-

As I said, format must be followed for your item to be considered. As far as mods go, we're allowing most things right now, but we will not permit thrown-together or learner-mods. Currently, we're only allowing 5 items into rotation at a time, and the format of how each item is rotated in and out will vary per-item. This is still a very new addition to the site, so rules and format is subject to change later on, but let's try to give this a shot for now. I'm very excited to see some new mods come of this, and we may even have Contests later on for even larger forms of advertising on the site -- but those details are still in the works. :D
