What Happened? Options

[KingByng]

There was a resurgence of activity here when the forums got back up and running, now it seems to be as desolate as right before it went down.

Has this forum died?

[jadems]

Heh, I'm still patrolling it, but I don't think TS modding is appealing to many people nowadays.
Companies are making it too easy, like GECK for Fallout 3

[Orac]

maybe TS modding has come to its logical (no pun intended) end?
Without EXE fuggling, there seems very little to do to advance TS modding.

However, we should really do some more TW modding...

Hah, I was just thinking that.

sry to say but yes

tibweb, has outlived its usefulness.

[Rampastring]

Yeah, I've also noticed that this forum is dying..

People still actively mod TS in PPM.. however, all the big mods are there (like Twisted Insurrection and Tiberian Odyssey).

I still love TS and would like to make maps for it, however I got bored because of it's instability (mainly Reconnection errors). I'm also learning Visual Basic and C#, although if someone requests help with modding I'll try to offer help as well as I can.

I think we would just need some TW mods.. or some big TS mod to make this place active again.

I think Jadems and Orac said it very well. TS modding is getting less and less interesting. I mean, TS is over 10 years old and might not even work when Windows 7 is released and everybody flocks to it. Who knows though we'll have to wait and see.

I'm still here though, checking in just about every day.

[Roani52]

Same here...

[Rampastring]

I don't think so. People still mod TS, however the problem is that all the big mods / most experienced members are on other forums. The only active mod we have is The Dawn of the Tiberium Age, which is hosted not only here but also at PPM. It's not that people don't mod TS; it's just that this community doesn't mod TS (and never hosted mods enough).

Tiberium Wars never really got people interested enough to mod it. The only mods I've seen talked about so far are Mideast Crisis 2 (which has it's own homepage) and Tiberium Essence (hosted at PPM).

Btw, I still check these forums daily.

I used to be really active here back in the day up until a certain little incident which I wont go into detail about. It's a shame really, a lot of the oldies don't visit here anymore (including myself) and a lot of people are too busy now-a-days. The majority of members here have moved onto places like PPM and ModDB in search for more active forums (which they are). The reason PPM is more active is because as Rampy said it hosts a lot of mods, TS, RA2 and Generals alike.
I don't come here as often as I used to and from what I see, neither do a lot of the oldies (I haven't seen LKO on here for a while either), but I still check the place from time to time, despite the lack of interesting topics these days. TS and RA2 modding has not died, it's just that TiberiumWeb isn't as popular as it used to be. If you're looking for active TS forums, I highly recommend checking out PPM as it's one of the few active TS / RA2 modding forums around these days.
By the way, it's cool to see some of you still here.

I used to mod a lot when I still had my old crappy computer. Since I have my "Nuclear Reactor" (as some people call it... I'd say it's still... meh...) I play more modern games.

[daTSchikinhed]

i still visit just because TumSun was my home, and this is the incarnation of that. I don't post, because my time is limited, but i still love it.

[jadems]

Heh, I try pop in about once a day.

Lets have a competition! That's always fun!
I'll boot up my old computer dedicated to modding TS!

[SMIFFGIG]

We need some TibWars active staff, which could ask around at Moddb or something and see if anyone needs hosting, at least that would attract a few more visitors
Thats all I can think of ?

[Team Black]

Well tibweb would be loads better without the Felix incident with tibsun, and if EA had any cares about the old C&Cs.

Even despite that though, TS modding is still awesome enough to keep us fans interested in it.

[Orac]

I should release my unused voxels. The ones which I decided not to release on PPM...

[Aro]

I've donated so much to this community, yet no boost in life. These are actually the only topics that get real attention here any more.

[Orac]

Maybe a funeral is in order?

[Team Black]

let's do with it what we can. We're still a great bunch, and we have this hobby in common.
Sure it's not the newest thing around, but it's still fun to do

[Rampastring]

The only reason why I've released my maps only here is that I want this community to stay alive. However if it dies I might consider releasing them at PPM.

However.. like I already said, I got bored because I received reconnection errors all the time in LAN.. and I don't make multiplayer maps anymore.

[Aztek985]

I think I know exactly what needs to be done ...

[Clazzy]

The TS community is so small now that everyone has basically just confined themselves to one website. What's the point of two websites which will effectively mirror exactly the same information just with different css files and different forum layouts? Besides, Banshee is actually active.

[Rampastring]

Well, there are some tutorials, research etc. which aren't on PPM.. and I like this forum more, the layouts and the feel created by the gray background and the neon-green text (although I think it was much cooler before the attack in December 2007).

I think I could do some epic singleplayer map someday with TiberiumWeb advertising billboards and other foolish things, however I'm not sure if I have the time for detailing terrain (the most time consuming part). I still like singleplayer mapping and have a few ideas for SP maps.

However, I'm wondering what Python is thinking with that statement.. If it means closing or something similar I'd like to have some 2-3 days to save all important research/tutorials and some spotlighted maps (some which are not at PPM).

[Uufje]

I'm still here, only I don't post very much. That's because I'm not interested in Tiberian Sun anymore, the only C&C game I currently play is Renegade. Besides, this message board isn't as active anymore as it was in the beginning.

I hope something can be done to make it alive again, I really liked it when it was still active!

[jadems]

Heh, this thread is HOT!

I have an shp idea in the making!

[Rampastring]

Well, the problem is, how do we get active modders from other sites to know about your shp? As you can see by reading this topic, this place has only a few active modders.

[jadems]

Heh, doesn't matter.
If I make one, I'll post it here. That is all.

[Aro]

As said above, it would be a shame if this place was to be buried because there is a fair amount of research and material on this forum that isn't on any other forums.

[Corsair]

I've been really busy. My finals are this week.

[Crash]

It's not dead, people are just being busy with their lives. We should have some event to get it flowing again, that'd be interesting.

We'll sometime realize that the forums are gonna die, but it's not today, mister.

And yes, I will NOT like it if this forum is burried without the chance to take several backups of EVERYTHING. It happened with tiberiumsun.com and, well, I wish a backup was around (I know about the internet archive but it's really not that much).
