MDC full of spam
« on: 28 August 2011, 18:01:36 »
Noticed that Mod Download Center has new entries, none of them being actual mods. Are we keeping the MDC or just leave it for the Wiki?

Well, there's only 1 spam entry, right? http://glestguide.co.cc/mdc/
Still, Omega...don't forget about your site. ;)

Aw, but I did want to forget it... I had a whole revision planned that would store pages in an easily editable SQL database, and totally revamp the MDC to be like a download site, in hopes that mod downloaders would use it, but MG decided to use a different host, and GAE never got around to any type of mod downloader, so it got abandoned. Eventually, we could add all the content to the wiki, but I have less time on my hands than I thought (ya'all are all welcome to go ahead and make a modeling, animating, etc guide).

Never expected spammers to be able to find such a small site, but, eh, removed them.

At any rate, I also removed those annoying firefox ads (at long last!) and turned the mdc and apocalyptic-dawn into sub domains. Thus, the mdc can now be accessed with mdc.glestguide.co.cc and apocalyptic dawn can be apocalyptic-dawn.glestguide.co.cc (same as Military, but renamed for future uses). Note that the old links still work. Also note that the subdomains will take as long as 48 hours to work (so won't be replacing any links yet).
