Removed .esp and .esm Support
I have removed support for .esp and .esm direct uploads to the site in the hope that, in forcing people to archive their files in zip, rar or 7z formats, they'll also add a readme for their file.

Ah great!

I suppose the existing mods with these extensions will stay?

This a really good idea. Theres almost nothing worse than getting a great sounding mod, but not knowing how or what to do to make use of it.

For example:
20 all new weapons meshes and textures mod, spears throwing stars, etc.

then you install it, and it's like, "where?!" how do i get them, but there is no readME.

That sucks.

good move IMHO. I like readme files, and also the zip compression saves bandwidth and time.

Hopefully people will include readme files, and name them something unique, not just README.

[modname]README.txt

is better.
