thanks for the suggestion but this is more for communication and sharing of crossfire mods and a group for modders to join. Yes this could be done on the forums but this way you can avoid requests, help requests, releases, etc and just share ideas without sifting through hundreds of posts. More of a hangout.
This is also an easy way to create mods with many users involved. This way users can collaborate on a single project in one place and not have to go searching for the thread they want.
