As many of you who know me are aware, I have just returned from a month long absence and have had some catching up to do. This morning I caught up on the last month's articles at the Bethesda Blog. I was very pleased to see The Nexus sharing equal ground with Planet Elder Scrolls and finally being recognized as a strong force in the TES modding community. As many of you are aware, this is no small feat considering the Dark0ne's sites are not official fan sites and never will be without the display of official trademark and copyright disclaimers as well as links to the official sites. Congrats to the Dark0ne for achieving the level of recognition we now enjoy without the aforementioned stipulations. I'm sure that his compliance with their mod removal request has got a lot to do with that.

On another note, Congrats to LHammonds as well for making the latest round of interviewees. Also notable is Shezrie's interview. For those of you that are not familiar with Shezrie, she is the creator and driving force behind Oblivion Real Estate.

Though I am creating two sites of my own, I will always call The Nexus my home and I am proud to say that I reside here. I really love this community and the people in it. I can see great things in the future for us all, especially as Bethesda becomes more and more open and supportive of that which they have created.

So I pose a question to you Dark, If Fallout 3 is given the mod treatment will you support it here at The Nexus?

Woot! Go TES Nexus!

When I first came here (in the Spring of 06') I was just a "young" chap, looking to download Oblivion mods. I saw all of the mods that were here, and I wanted to download some that I liked. Except there was one problem: The 2kb DL limit without registering. But, I was younger, and I was hesitant about things like that, because of stories I'd heard about hidden fees and spam (not the food kind ) and such. So I left the site and never looked back. But then, in the Summer of 06', I stumbled across the site again, and it had nearly doubled in size! So then I decided, "Hey, why not register with an email address I rarely use?" So that's exactly what I did, and I have not regreted it.

At first I just used my account to download mods for Oblivion. But then after about a month or so, I started commenting on images. Then I learned about the forums. So, I tried them out. I seem to remember my first post being something along the lines of, "Shut up and quit complaining. If you don't like his idea for a mod, then don't post anything at all. Saying 'your idea sucks,' is really immature. Seriously. Grow up ."

That was when I learned how to deal with people here. I have also made several friends here, and have seen several incredible things.

So, I would like to end by saying this: Great Job DarkOne! Thank you very much!


I have also introduced several people to The Forums because they (The Forums) are so awesome.

Once again, thank you very much!

A newbie here,hello to everybody.Who cares about fallout 3?Oblivion has endless modding potential.We'll might even try to run the game under a more advanced engine,like cryengine.

My experience with tes nexus has been extremely similar to gman's. Nexus has been a part of my life for the last few years- to an extent it HAS been my life. I may be deflecting the topic and certainly do not want this to end up as an Oscars thank you speech/thread- but thank you, and am delighted that nexus is getting recognized, and wish the site all the more success.

In the long term the nexus may need to branch out. In recent months I have started playing Eve Online and I feel my interest in Oblivion waning, and I have visited the nexus less and less and I do not like this- as I also think of nexus as my home.

Edit: though reading frouteboras post- I may be in the minority- and certainly the oblivion community is large enough to support many such sites...

Hey, I just now saw this. Thanks.

I hope your sites are going well.

Glad to see that the Nexus is getting some good press, it's one one the best Oblivion sites available, no question.

Long live the NeXuS.

I have been a member here for a while. I think the responsiveness of Our Dark Lord DarkOne to the needs of the community and his innovations have made this site IMHO the Best TES Mod sight on the web.

Planet Elder Scrolls has a High standard for mods that they allow to be posted and that some times limits what content they allow. Here at the NeXuS a NewBie will get his mod out there with all the rough edges and I have see this community help them and I have seen great work come from this Community.

So my little gif above is for the NeXuS Community.

And to worm82075 for this good news.

GOOD WORK DarkONE
THE NEXUS IS THE BEST SITE FOR OBLIVION

Good for you, Darkone .. I too have been here a while. I was still in college when I became a member. I always come to The Nexus when looking for a Mod, and I make sure to upload my mods only at The Nexus.

for being here!!

Great news for TESNexus.

I'm fairly new to the site only been using it for about 3 1/2 months but have really grown to love this site. The mod listings are easy to search through using the various sorting methods. I love the comments and ratings sections for each mod (I won't DL a mod if it didn't get good feed back). And the discussions and help given in the forums are top notch and awesome. I've posted quite a few questions and have always gotten great feedback, and now I'm in a position to help out others with some of their problems. I always DL my mods from here, & love this community. Keep up the great work.

Hooray for the Nexus!

I much much prefer this site to Planet Elder Scrolls. I feel DarkOne has set up a beautiful site that's easy to navigate, and the modders here are top notch.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks.

Here are the two kudos points we agreed to for saying that. Nobody can see this right?

I will say i have been on here for while much like Gman, I download mods and I am getting into more other side of the Nexus the forums. Darkone you run a great site, better than most that deal with games. Its user friendly site and user for most part are friendly as well. Bethesda, needs to do much research on here. To get a feel on just how the game might change, to make better game....


As major Fallout fan, I hope that bethesda stay within the lore so speak of that game. I hope that the Nexus or maybe another site under Nexus realm of control will help as they did on Oblivion.

I just love this site for the community spirit and the wealth of Mods available, my favourite part "Updates Recently" Every day I need to visit this part to see what new offerings you peeps offer.

Well done DarkOne and everyone here to make this site a great place to visit.

I've been a member of this site since October, 2004 when the site name was different and Oblivion was not quite released yet. I recognized then that this is the place to be if you want good mods and a site that's easy to navigate. I'm still here.

Good job, Darkone!!

This place is basically my home-away-from-home. Thanks DarkOne... again. Also, thanks to all the modders out there who made TES Nexus so HUGE. And, of course, how can we forget the moderators of this site, especially keeping files (LHammonds and AlienSlof) and everything in general (buddah) clean, organized, and civilized (to a degree, anyways ). Thanks to all of the other modderators out there as well. Let's see if I can name all of you guys off:

LHammonds

buddah

AlienSlof

bben46

Malchik

Switch

Povuholo

Stampede


(Those ^ are the only modderators I know by heart, please forgive me if I did not put you in. Trust me, it's nothing personal ).

Thanks again to everyone who helped make this site possible!
