I am new to Vb, so can't speak for previous versions.
I would say that there needs to be some organization implemented for the mods. Generally, doing a search for a mod or almost any topic, is a waste of time, perhaps because of the number of posts on this board I'm not sure. So unless a member takes the time to scroll through pages and pages of threads in the mod section, yyou won't find the mod you are looking for.
Could they be indexed better, perhaps by category. The current system of mods being released in a thread to me isn't working when it comes to finding them. Or, a better search function, but again, I don't know what you could do there because its the number of pages and threads on this board that make searching hard.
I have come across some great mods here and am always amazed at how coders come up with some of the stuff, keep it up. Now lets get the organization part fixed, lets all put our heads together.
