Arthmoor Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The forum is officially locked down now. No more new posts. The first shoe has fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmstearn Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yes. One can still login, but there is a "You cannot reply this topic" at the top of every thread to remind us of our predicament! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightStar Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Well don't expect to see me on the new forums as I can't stand them. I really will miss the old forums, they were fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 What the hell is going on Bethesda.net? Has Bethesda a hacker attack in progress? Just after I had submitted a post I got a message pop up saying that the forum had just been updated, click here to update to the latest version. Which I did and now I get a 502 Bad Gateway error. WTF? A few minutes before this happen I got a couple of server errors e.g 502, 503 to mention those errors I got. Is there anyone here who have no problem visiting Bethesda.net without getting an error for various reasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Site's working fine for me. I am amused every time they say it was updated though because nothing ever seems to change and they don't tell us what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 I know I use "Bethesda.net is now live, forums coming soon" for the topic tiitle, but after a quick visit there I must say even if Bethesda.net is online and running it seems pretty much lifeless to me. So what's the point to even bother visiting Bethesda.net. I miss the old forum even if IPS 3.x had bugs I do miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egocarib Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 So... Where is everyone now? Really sad to see the old forums gone. The new ones feel very commercialized and there seems to be very little activity there. I have been out of the loop for a while because my computer died, and after that I had a trash computer that couldn't run Skyrim. Finally got a nice new top-end rig, but now I can't find any of the old modding crew. Did everyone just give up? Or did they all regroup on some forum somewhere? I do hope the latter...

I think some of the old veteran modders thought that this is it, "I will probably take a hitaus for the time being" or they just finish their modding project. But like you I think that most modders and mod users become more active on other forums like Nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hana Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Lots still hang here, or perhaps moved back to Nexus. Pretty much scattered, I'm not aware of one specific place everyone went. Feel free to find us on our Discord channel (link on main page) for random chats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Yep, we all more or less scattered. Those of us with sites up already have likely just gone there, as we mostly did here. I'm actually not aware of anyone prominent who's using Nexus or Reddit as a primary discussion area for their work. I really don't think Bethesda has any idea just how much people valued the old forum with the old IPB software and how much those same people simply can't stand the new garbage. It's fractured the community in ways that hasn't been seen since the Morrowind days when the major modding site of the time collapsed and send everyone scattering.

egocarib Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Thanks for the insights, folks. I suppose I'll have to find some new niches. Have to say I'm also disappointed to see that no one ever fixed the long-broken search functionality on the old forum... which is so sad, because there are years and years of incredibly helpful stuff on that forum, that are now lost to modders. It's basically like wiping out 5+ years of modding insights and discoveries. I wish they'd at least allow Google to crawl through that stuff or something..

Bethesdas doesn't seem to care about their community, espcially not now since spammers has started to appear on Bethesda.net. I've already reported 3-4 posts and I bet this spamming thing aren't going away easily not without a fight from Bethesda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonardo Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Has anyone visit Bethesda.net lately and in particular the mods section and reading the comments for a mod? I just did and notice that Bethesda recently added a few useful moderation tools for the author (login and see it for yourself) to use. Although, I dare not to find out by trying a feture myself.

Arthmoor Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'm assuming you mean the "Like", "Flag", and "Post Tools" buttons now appearing under comments. If so, those don't do anything the forums themselves didn't already allow. So no, we don't have comment deletion rights yet. Hopefully this is a sign they're about to give that back to us though.

Leonardo Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yep, I do mean the "Like", "Flag", and "Post Tools" buttons. I think you're right, they might give it back to us in the near future and I hope they do that it is the least they can do if they want to make Bethesda.net equally attracted as Nexus.

Arthmoor Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 One thing that did show up is a menu to disable comments on a mod. So yes, it looks like they're finally working on adding our missing moderation features again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 So things has started to look a little better for modders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Whatever Bethesda did yesterday it looks like they have brought back the annoying orange "Forum is updated to the latest version. Click to refresh the page." message or similar. Some people also get a message about what language he/she recently used in a discussion regardless if they can speak the langauge or not. I haven't seen the langauge message yet, but if I do get that message I wonder what langauge I may have used. Perhaps the forum software decides that I speak the assembler lanaguage.

Arthmoor Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The orange message happens whenever they change something so you should expect to see that regularly. Whatever they last did though, they wrecked the dark theme because the topic lists in each forum are all white again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I don't see that and to me it is normal, I mean un-read topic is dark green or similar and read topics is white as it has been for a long time now.

Arthmoor Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The whole page is white background though. The ugly Jive colors. Unless they've already fixed it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 They have fixed everything (the orange Forum updated message is no more), even the dark theme is fixed and it's working just fine on my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
