The bane of keeping this list up to date is keeping track of who is still actually around and doing modding.
When the list was at TBG, I was toying with the idea of making a php script - the user would enter their name + prefix, and it would be auto-added to the list. After 6 months it would be deleted (or an e-mail sent asking if it should be kept).

While you're re-organising, would it be more convenient to list the prefixes first rather than the authors? For instance, it matters not to me that InsertModderHere uses X!, but if I want to use X!, I'd like to be able to look it up quickly by scanning the list, then curse InsertModderHere.

A .php script should be able to handle displaying the list using modder name vs modder prefix. smile.gif

(And yes, I know that 'Ctrl-F' works, but I'm lazy.)

Ps - I have used WW in the past for UB, but now generally use CLF. And I don't want to use X! biggrin.gif

I believe Ms. Ette has a good point.

Your prefix is now registered! smile.gif


For everyone's information: reorganizing the prefix list takes a lot of time. It will happen sooner or later, but if someone who knows well which the active prefixes are etc. created a new list (e.g. in a .txt or .doc file) based on this list and sent it to us, everything would be much faster. The Council would check and change the list where needed (or just me, and then get it approved by the Council - with modifications if needed - during the upcoming meeting of the Council). Just a possibility...

Hi everyone,
I didn't get what changes to the prefix list you are planning now exactly, but if you are really planning to part the list into "activ" and "inactive / no longer in use" prefixes, please be careful. I think it is quite inappropriate to put prefixes into a "inactive/ no longer in use" corner just because the modder didn't show up for a longer time. There are quite a few modding communities not active in the English speaking community yet they are active in writing mods in their native tongue and are anxious to make their mods compatible with the others available, planning a translation at some point. That is also the reason why I don't think anyone does really have the knowledge of creating such a "active prefixes" list, at least not internationally. The saying of the original list at teamBG was, that you should reconfirm your prefix after one year if you are not active in the community in the meantime and I gues that's what those people will do. I have to admit I don't understand this "what prefixes are still active" discussion anyway, because even if a prefix is not used any longer - It still was used for a mod sometimes, so it's not a good joice if someone else starts using this prefix for his mods, then, incidentally giving a similar name to some file.
I second the idea of cliffette: Putting the prefix in front (and sort them alphabetically) would simplify the checking. Maybe it's possible to have both lists (which, of course, means again more work or updating.)

Yeah the alphabethical list seems to be the best.
Prefix conflicts will still be indicated, it's an important information. Additionally, the registration date of the prefix is recorded (but, of course, the prefixes do not expire).

hmm... i had my samurai kit hosted over at lunaticgaming, and now icelus is hosting my mods. but on the kit at lunaticgaming the prefix is still A$ i tried to get a hold of DevilishPope/Korthing, but i can't. So until i can, you might want to add that prefix.

I'd like to register BSM on behalf of Blacksheep Mods, if I could, please? I'm still trying to decide what to use for my own Morgan, since the M# I'm coding with is taken not once, but twice on this list *chuckle*

Thanks!

LOL, sorry about that Tsuru (and Morrow)!

Why would you not take T#? You could use it with all you future projects instead of figuring out a new one for each. smile.gif
