Oblivion

Files of the month launched

  • Comment
The original File of the Month feature at TESSource has now been relaunched as the Files of the Month. The system is simple; every member of the site has a single vote they can cast for the file of their choice each month. This vote can be changed at any time and the highest voted mods each month enter the "Hall of Fame" of sorts on the site.

I will decide on exactly how many files enter the Hall of Fame each month depending on the turn-out of votes for the month of February. I'm guessing it'll probably be the top 2 or 3 files.

The original winners of the monthly competition are already on the page and winners cannot be voted for again in order to help publicise as many files as possible.

To help facilitate user knowledge of this feature, as well as the "Report file" feature on the site I have removed the "Options" tab on file pages and there is now an options pane above the main content area. The hope is users will make use of these two features more now that they're right infront of them.

    I believe it would be better if Texnexus had a section that covered the Best of Categories ie- Best Companion Mod, Quest, House, Armor/Weapon Set, etc. Similar to a Hall of Fame idea but makes sure a variety of mod types are highlighted for the community.


    Agreed. Also, I'm new to TESNexus so I'm not entirely sure what the focus is or how it's laid out (Morrowind, Oblivion, both?), but... are the top files overall or per-game?

    I'm curious...What happened to the "Other files uploaded by author" feature?

    I think it is a great idea because it will bring attention to different files each new month, whereas the files in the Hall of Fame are likely always the same (I assume nothing is ever removed from the HoF?).

    It's not hall of fame, but it's better than nothing
