Hi all.
I thought it was time I introduced myself. I am the owner of the website. Wanted to reply to a few of the things really.
1) I made the site for fun, and also for the fans who are less savvy and would have a hard time navigating around the forums.
2) I am not the first site linking back to your mods. There are in fact a number of websites that are doing so; I have encountered a number of other non-dedicated forums and websites linking straight to the sources without proper credit given to the author of the mods.
3) The reason the site was made is because I am a fan much like the most of you
4) To sl1982 who asked to link back to the original forum thread, I have linked to the forums a number of times, and mentioned the Qhimm modding community a number of times in some of the tutorial vids I had made. If you also look in the links section and on each Mod section, as well as the main Mod page there are also links to the forums. There is a large paragraph in bold stating that I do not wish to take credit for any of the mods that were created, and where possible, I have accredited the work to it's proper author - so in theory, I don't think you guys have been under handed.
5) I am greatful for all the work and hard efforts you have all put in to these mods, as I have personally enjoyed playing the game. And I'm sure all the fans are appreciative too.
6) In regards to the torrent file available in the section, I am not endorsing illegal activity. I am only stating that as per the EULA - you are allowed to have copies of the game if you own the original game. There are some people with scratched CD's that no longer work, and I don't think everyone is able to afford a new game. That's why I suggested downloading one of the CD's through that torrent. Directly beneath it, there is a link to buy the game through the amazon store. So no, I do not directly endorse illegal file sharing of any sort. If you think that perhaps I should make a clearer statement then I will do so.
7) I used your nicknames when stating who the author was since I do not know all of your real names. It would make more sense to mention your forum id anyhow, since the exit page stats suggest that most of the visitors head to Qhimm forums from that site...
I hope this answers everything and if you have any questions please feel free to do so.
Cheers.
P.S I am British. Be sure to cheer on England if you watch the game today. Good luck to the Germans too
