are you satisfied with modDB? Thread

Answer with YES or NO, and then tell why.

ModDB is a great site with great potencial but it is underutilized. It have a lot of information in it, but if it can't be easily navigated the result is that you are not informed.

I'm not satisfied with ModDB because:

I think that modDB should be a place where find people to work with.
The site don't foster that.
You can post your "HELP WANTED REQUEST" or get acces to the massive data base about it. But it don't solve the problem about that people who wants to join in a mod team, needs to look quick and easy lots of request and select the most attractive, the mods that are closer to the project that they want to collaborate.
Also the Teams have to recruit and then select the Suitable candidates.
So this area should be more visible on the site.
Then for that should be good that the site create the feeling of community where people is cooperating to have succes on their goals.

ModDB should be a place where people could easily learn what are, what he needs, where to find, and How to do, whatever he want about Mods.
Tell if you can find a game or mod that you don't know nothing about and get it into your computer or if you can know how to start modding a game in a short period of time. And of course, if you can do that only using mod data base.

About information and the learning process. Feedback is needed.
When you are trying to learn something is necesary to have a channel to solve the questions that the Apprentice have. ModDB allows you to have acces to a bunch of tutorials but don't allow you to find any solutions to the problems that appear through the learning process. So my intuition tells me that nobody uses the modDB tutorials.

ModDB should allow modders to get attention about their work.
Yes, the site let modders have acces to a site with lot of visits, so people can get noticed that his mod is out there.

modDB has never been about your number one point help wanted, its been at database of mods, the site is moving more into showing the developers where to find modders , modders to find other modders and keep you up to date with all the information you need.
if you want to find people to work on your mod you need to focus on specific sites, game dev for coders, game artist for 3d modelers, deviant art for concept artists and so on.

As for your 2nd point we don't make the mods, so if they don't come with instructions its the developers fault we simply list the mods we don't control them.

Your 3rd point is baffling if you have issue or questions after using a tut, most people would ask the writer or post on the forums, not a tough one to solve, we are putting more focus on developer tutorials but again these are community written not written by staff or just for moddb.
Lots of people use the moddb tutorials, I have had many people contact me over one tutorial saying how it rocked and where can they learn more and it wasn't even any good.

moddb does allow members to get noticed for there work infact, this is something of a passion to INtense... bringing people together to moddb.
expect lots to come and change.
