As I'm sure most of you know, we are extremely hard at work putting the finishing touches on Desura (our game / mod digital distribution solution). But that doesn't mean ModDB misses out on the update love it deserves. If you noticed a few minutes of downtime today, this is why:
Added
- Email verification, so if you change your email - you will need to verify it works
- Shopping cart + purchase history (though this change is for Desura, unless you donate using the job ad system)
Updated
- Streamlined the registration process, so new accounts are made instantly. They are read-only however, until you confirm your email
- Updated the "lightbox" solution to be nicer. Also means when clicking "view original" image in the gallery you see it FULL SIZE and not a minimized version
- Site login is now done via HTTPS for added security
These changes are not that exciting, but we should have some very exciting announcements and changes late next week, so check back in for that. Oh and we just hit 400,000 registered members!
I'd like to think that the "very exciting announcement" next week is a Desura open beta date.
Afraid not, that is still about 4 ~ 6 weeks away if all goes to plan! Could be longer due to the sheer amount of work involved... but it is getting close now
Wow! 4-6 weeks, or a little longer is much closer than I thought it'd be for Desura's release.
yes, that is great! Good luck, looking forward to this!
Desura is proly one of the best things to happen to us, Indie Devs :)
Thanks for listening :)
Thats one click less to worry about
I want a "clear all" featrue for all the updates
yes, this would be cool!
Anyway, nice!
Nice job!
400,000 registered members?
Why are there about 80,000 (80,090 ATM to be exact) ranks?
Very good question. I'm curious about this as well.
you've gotta be an active member to be ranked. so only 80,000 are active.
thats a shame :(
Aye, should be more. Ah well, the rest of this planets fools don't know what they're missing.
true
congrats moddb
Did May have zero mod release? No highlight video yet.
I like the monthly highlight video :)
It's coming! Don't worry.
Dave's just finishing up.
Nice work Moddb. Congratz too.
ModDb kicks ***
Nice ;)
I thought moddb already had 400,000+ members.
It's nice that ModDB is doing logins via HTTPS now. Good to see that some sites care about security!

No security is impenetrable.
The tightest security is making backups, scanning/capturing data, plus your own eyes, intelligence - and above all - awareness. ;-]
It is a lot harder to use data when it has 256bit encryption.
Mhmm, sorry. Too much insolence & pride. That serves me right.
400,000? ... Weird. I'm actually surprised, I thought there was at least a million. Dunno why, just imagined it was bigger, but glad that it's still growing.
Also, these are registered members.
400k registered members in total.
80k active ones.
And the guests not told about - BTW, how many guests do you get now? :-) 2kk a month?
We get about 1.5 million visitors a month. So the vast majority of visitors are guests
As well as me visiting the site at school from about 10 different computers at various times but not logging on. Haha.
Exciting new is the upcoming game from the developers of ZPS :D
good luck with contagion. seems you picked up the last of the best modders for source. :P
Well done ModDB :)
Woow!
Nice to see this awesome mod-providing webpage is growing in it's community, if just all the guests would quickly register, then we would have 1 or 2 million! (Minimum)
GREAT NEWS!
Im glad the site is growing!
Thanks for all the support for the community so far!
Long live moddb! Soon moddb will get on tv(hope plz)/
Feillyne: 2k guests a month?
INtense: 1.5 million guests a month.
Epic. :D
modb is awesome
I must have been close to the 400,000 because I joined on monday
Great Job
This is and has been my absolute favorite site on the internet... yes ModDb is that awesome in my opinion :)
Keep up the great work with ModDb and Desura!
OMG. I am 1 of the 400,000 members on this site!
Congrats on 400,000.
I've been here for almost three years, it's been a great time.
Congrats!

Congratulations by the way.
