The community's activity also dwindled due to how Fallout 4 turned out to be less than desired, let alone with the release of Fallout 76.
Yeah, honestly that's my main (light) concern really. The brand really has taken a nasty beating over the last few years, and it's looking to be around a decade until the next entry. Maybe we could look at Cyberpunk in articles as it's release draws nearer? Starfield will hopefully be something be can also use as a springboard as it aligns pretty nicely with the scifi interest a lot of posters and modders alike here share. Personally, I was always really suprised that Skyrim never took off here. Even though GUN IS Fallout focused, the modding scenes overlap quite a bit and Skyrim modding is pretty much the biggest modding scene. Hopefully Cyberpunk is mod-friendly, though as that would most definitely attract newcomers _________________  |

| Personally, I feel like Skyrim never really "took off" here because while there is some overlap. There isn't much to port over to Skyrim other than armor mods really, and eventually you run out of things to port that can fit. Fallout is lot more forgiving with what ends up looking good in-game in that sense.
On top of that, there are a lot of people that just don't like Elder Scrolls that much. I've played a good bit of the elder scrolls games, but I always go back to Fallout. It's just my default, and I assume that's similar for a lot of people here. Skyrim just doesn't hit the same feelings that Fallout does.
(also I cant stand the majority of the Skyrim modding scene. Too many skimpy armor mods for the sake of skimpy armor. Too many bland, dialog-less anime waifu companion mods. I know that's not all of it, but it's a good majority of it and it's just personally not my taste)
Also. I'm not going to lie, but I don't entirely understand this statement. "So with this we've decided to lock off the entire Colonial section, the colonials special access will be lifted and the mod creators will be able to decide for themselves to let their mods be locked off or put out for every member to access."
So the colonial rank is gone? Or the wall behind mods is gone? And what exactly has happened to the roles? I read another post saying that the new ones were down below but I don't understand the meaning of them at this point. Basically, I don't know how my role has changed, what I've gained or lost access to, or really what it means, and I've read over it a few times. Maybe I'm just misreading it but if anyone could clarify the new role meaning a bit that would be nice. |

| @TastyHands well fallout 4 is just armours and guns and big boob mods. Ocassionally Skyrim brings out good stuff more frequent than Fallout 4 has, true I'm sick of the dialogue less companions. Yet I always look at new medieval games and think boy this would be great to have in Skyrim. As I had hoped to see more Dark Souls/Witcher stuff incorperated in Skyrim. As for the Colonial rank as I've said in this topic before: The wall behind the mods is gone, it's up to the modders if they want to release them publicly or not. The rank is there as a title as the rest are with exceptions to Paladin, Purple Hearts and Overseer. @Alixen I hope Cyberpunk will give the modding scene a new playground to go around with, but that remains to be seen. Seeing as Starfield runs on basically the same engine as the Fallout/Elder Scrolls it could be moddable. Yet as I noticed with Fallout 4 it could be they're going to hinder us in the process. F4 required a basic few things for mods to work, which if I recall wasn't present with NV. Maybe with the steam release of The Outer World we might see mods coming out for that too. |

| I respect the decision of the staff i feel the Colonial rank was abused far too much as it was with downloads of gun stuff showing up all over the place against modders wishes. In the End of the day respect the modders an they will keep modding an releasing. I for one never uploaded any mods here as ive seen other peoples work get abused  |

I think that was more the case with a few people getting angry and "mod-dumping' before leaving the site rather than a bunch of people slowly leaking mods. _________________  |

| Wow. Real life hit me hard these last couple of months and I completely missed these huge changes. I'm a bit sad to see Colonial go (as it was) but I definitely see where staff is coming from. (I miss the old color for my name, haha) Too many folks came along only for that and not for the community.
The rep change is also a mixed one, but anything to make staff's job easier is important, I was an admin back in the day for a (much smaller) forum and it was terrible.
Been here since 2014 and I don't see any reason to leave. This place is so welcoming and friendly compared to other forums and I have many fond memories here. Hopefully the modding scene can pick up more when titles like Starfield and the next Elder Scrolls come out? I know I'll try to return to my old projects when life lets me. _________________ Mods I'm working on:[FO4] Halo UNSC Flags and Symbols[FO4] Halo: ONI Nightfall Suit[WIP][FO4] Halo: Covenant Armory XPS 9560: 32GB RAM, i7, 1TB SX8200 Pro SSD, Akitio Node Pro w/ RTX 2080 TI FE DanCase A4 V4.1: 32GB 3600Mhz G.Skill RAM, Ryzen 3800x, RTX 2080 TI FE, 1TB SX8200 Pro SSD, 1TB Sabrent Rocket 4.0, 4TB WD Blue. |

| Interesting, the site has changed a bit since I was last on here, I wonder how this will affect the site in the long run. There probably won't be another big injection of users on here until the next singleplayer Fallout game. _________________ Hee to the ho. |

| Though I rarely come here - I don't really play Fallout that much - but it's very sad to see this site slowly fading away... It brings so many memories of the good old modding days, communicating and cooperating with other modders, bringing some beauty to the game which modders liked more then the developers. But I believe that if the new Fallout game comes out and it's not another F76, this site and community will rise like a phoenix! Hope to see those days sooner then later! _________________ There will allways be an Unknown Soldier to save the world and fade away  |

| Not sure where else to ask this, so I will do so here: I haven't been here for a while, and I noticed some changes. Have the "GUN Exclusive" Mods been merged with the public ones, or have they been further hidden away? _________________ http://z0r.de/?id=293

| I think, all mods of private section have been hidden; for example there is not a single one of the 31 dtragbody packs aviable.. And the current public mods are the same that were available a long time ago in the public section. |

| Wow I have not been able to fully get back on my feet, I had moved from Florida back to Louisiana after not being able to keep my house... So technically I'm kinda homeless living with my inlaws... But I am currently working over nights as a Security Officer and just was able to get my personal computer back up and running. My time is still not what is was due to other issues going on but enough about me. I still love the Gun Community and still want to see it strive and grow and do well. I miss the friends I made on here and wish only the best. I hope the changes implemented work out. I liked how Gun was and is still unique with some of the best Modders and Mods around. Good Luck to everyone and when I am able to I hope to be back on here a hell of a lot more! _________________  |

| It's good to know, I didn't know that people could do this with such a friendly community. I hope the people who shared the private mods have suffered their deserved punishment |
