Why not? A free file-hosting service with no wait times? Most other hosting services charge or have low limits.
And most also have wait times, which SUCK!!!
Yes, I have to agree and why I have decided to start hosting Mod files on my own site server. Nice fast pipeline running on a fairly fast server, leading me to the mentioning of us adding a brand new server this summer with 4-8 tb available, quad core 3 gig CPU, 4 gig of ram with RAID backup never worry about files being lost.
No worries about your file service shutting down, unless I die, GFV is going to be online forever.
Game Fanatics Vault name was inspired by Thunderfall site to be honest. We will provide you with FTP access for faster uploading of those large Mods, support forum, redirect to another support forum if you like.
We will create a category for mods in the downloads, images in our gallery, built in requests manager, for users to easily make requests on any file. Keeping all your files organized in one place.
About GFV: Fast free no hassle downloads, for game patches, mods, demos, beta clients, any unique game content available, the staff writes reviews, previews, find good videos, trailers, screen shots, images, content etc.
Note:The site is under major construction moving 500 download files from old site to the new one. Ignore the member count we have over 1500 members, the messages and members we had problems importing. Still trying to fix this problems, msgs posted by no one is spooky & unacceptable. Bare with the looks currently, wanted to be sure to explain about the looks.
Thanks Thunderfall, I see you re-posted my PM to you in this thread
I noticed AFTER I posted this reply.
My site is here to help Mod designers and provide a place for gamers to find what they need with the least amount of hassle possible. We don't want to be the biggest website out there, we simply want to provide the best services for all the talented Mod Desigers in the world! CFC & Apolton can have the large website, creation forums, I will stick with what I do.
Hope to hear from some of you! All of you designers keep on with the fantastic Mod work, I have not been able to play Civ 4 for 2yrs now due to switching to Vista owning the very first copy of Civ 4.
I was given the Gold Edition for my birthday, I immediately went out bought BtS 3 days later. I'm utterly shocked the quality of the Mods out for Warlords and BtS, most of them could be sold outright as its own expansion to Civ 4. High five to everyone of you!!
