Community: nukemods.com is Closed!

You can thank all the leeching, bandwidth and file stealing webmaster scum out there for this. We refuse to give other websites a free-ride.They can go mooch off of someone else now, like they aren't already...HAHA. Anybody know what's going on? If I can't access one of the best nuke site's on the 'net (after nc, of course), I don't know what I'll do!!

I am REALLY saddened by this! Mike did some great things for this community and YES I know who was leeching off of him. The Nuke community lost ANOTHER valuable member!

The guy who was doing it has become a real piece of crap even after the entire community asked him to stop the leeching. Mike tried everything possible to no avail and I feel really really bad he decided to leave the community. He will be missed and so will his site.

Well people, I hope this teaches some of you out there, to either create your own work, host your own files, and be respected. Or you can fall into the alternative category of being a jerk and driving everyone away or banning you.

I wish you all the best Mike and hope you return.

I was following post on nuke mods and he contacted webmaster to become a partner and he refused. He refused to remove files. The hosting company refused to remove the site. I do hope Mike does come back to the community. He has always done for the community. Please respect the choices Mike makes.

Everyone has a bad day, and even though their official stance has been posted, there can sometimes be more to than story than meets the eye. One thing I certainly don't want to see is someone like Nuke Mods obtain a bad rep over this incident. Nuke has brought together a huge multicultural setting. Folks won't always agree on how certain actions are executed etc. That's fine. But lets not discount all the work that was done while they were online. Perhaps its time for them to move on, because they no longer found this fun.

Hey it happens. I'd like to thank MikeM for everything he's done. He'll always be my friend.

This is sad if its completely true, some of the best new themes come from that site.

That's a pitty. There are things that can be done server side that can keep leeching from happening. It's sad to see this type of thing happen, but on the other hand, I am shocked at nukemods at their response to the matter. They developed a community where they hosted many great themes, and overnight, they take it offline. And by reading the message posted at their URL, its a slap in the face to followers.


Don't get me wrong here, this was an issue that needed attention and should have been followed up with the hosting provder(s) of nukemods as well as the provider(s) that hosted the leech sites. I have had nothing but success from ISP and Hosting sites against users or site that break their own TOS (Terms of service), but with this type of response from NukeMods, the faithful majority will go elsewhere in fear that the site will go away overnight again if it ever does re-surface. And then again, maybe that was the intention all along, is to simply disappear.



Very disappointing.

Haven't any of you people ever heard of .htaccess files?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*.(gif||jpg|jpeg|zip|gz)$

Boom, done.

Maybe this is just a joke or something. Scenario: guy goes on vacation. His site is a one-man operation. He's afraid he'll get file-raped while he's at the beach for 2 weeks. So, he just shuts it down while he's away, leaving everyone to scratch their collective head, searching for an answer to a non-existant problem.

Who knows?

Yes, I do respect Mikes desicion on this one. But I just don't think it's worth quitting for some stupid, lame-azz leecher. There might be other reasons for this; maybe he's tired of doing what he's doing, maybe he doesn't have time anymore, etc.

Although I do wish mikem the best, and yes I will check nukemods website everyday to see if this is a joke. :)

:(

Good bye mikem. :-/

You know, there's so many ways around a problem like this, it isn't even funny...

If the issue was simply a matter of bandwidth theft, he could have setup two accounts --- one account for the regular business on the site, and other one as a download site, accessible only through file requests from site #1. When the bandwidth ran out on the download site --- oh, well --- you guys gotta wait 'til next month because 'so-and-so' used up all my bandwidth. The loyal users would have covered his back, I'm sure...

Anyway, I suspect something else is at play here, and the 'leeching' was just an excuse to call it quits.
