The main benefits having a moddb group for Ireland in particular:
-Timezone- This is probably the most obvious of all the benefits, having a group of people that will generally be availiable around the same time of the day leads to more interest and use of the group. In terms of modders it leads to increased production and efficency in terms of modding overall.
-Community- It can be daunting for new users to join an entire internet community at first thus leading to alot of people being overwhelmed and turned of the idea. The Irish Groups allows for a gateway to the larger community for Irish users, this is great for helping more Irish moddb users become regular using. Once this cycle starts it boosts and can generate a brilliant community for all us Irish mod enthusiasts.

Well this could be just what they need! This allows for a great aspect on playing mods and creating mods, in person team work! When creating a mod this can add a whole new perspective on the mod in progress and for playing mods it can add an entire new dimension of fun for all involved.

I will add more benefits to this list in the next news update. Feel free to email any benefits or ideas to moddb@ireland.com
The main aims of the group are as follows:

-To help boost the gaming industry in Ireland
-To showcase work done by Irish gamers, of any kind.
-To help all Irish moddb users
-To, perhaps, get a mod/development group going in Ireland.
More aim's will also be added in the next news.
Happy modding!
