Who dosnt want their mods hosted on WoWUI?

[tinyu]

To whom it may concern.

For those of you who dont know I am Lothaer, one of the Admins on the WoWUI website and also a moderator of the forums hosted there.

It has been brought to my attention that some Authors do not wish to have their mods hosted on WoWUI either on their as they are or as part of a compilation.

Don't worry im not here to try and convince you to change your minds, they are your mods and you are free to decide where you want them hosted .

What this thread is all about is I would like any of you authors out there that do not want your mods hosted at WoWUI to please post in this thread listing the names of your mods or provide a link to your mods and if at all your mods are uploaded to WoWUI either under a false identity or in a compilation it will be a lot easier for me to check and either deny the upload completely or request that your mod be removed from a upload before it gets approved.

Also if anyone knows of a compilation that is hosted on WoWUI please post a link to it and ill will see that your mods are removed.

I will be checking this thread at least once a day for any new posts.

Thank you for your time

PS, could any of the moderators of WoWInterface please sticky this thread if you see fit thank you.

Why don't people want their addons hosted there?

People over there hosting old versions, coming here whining and posting bugs.

Some people (not the authors of the addons) have been uploading old versions, as p3lim said. tinyu/Lothaer wishes to remedy that. Others prefer to just host at one or two sites and wish for users not to come across older versions on that site that they are no longer keeping track of.

Ah, I see. Yeah, no one should host addons except the author who created them.

Hey Loth, has the info Kaelten been supplying you guys enough, or do you want/need to talk to Dolby and/or Shirik as well? Remember, our implementation is slightly different.

In particular, I see unathorized "fan updates" of Titan Factions pop up fairly frequently, and the ancient original version from Corgi can be removed as well, as I took it over (with his permission) years ago. I'm actually not sure why that version is still on WoWUI, as when I took over the addon I had ownership of the project transferred to me. It seems to have reappeared at some point since I removed all of my addons from WoWUI about a year ago.

As to why I stopped hosting my addons on WoWUI, keeping up with comments, bug reports, feature requests, and updating on three different sites was just too much. Since WoWUI was by far the least usable site (the dim greenish color scheme, tiny font sizes, and extremely cramped layout on the update page made it difficult and uncomfortable to use with visual impairments) and had the lowest download counts, it was the logical choice to cut.
