Oh and for those of you with projects, you are best off to either post in this thread or PM me that you have Doomseeker workable links.Or bump, or any thing really. Saves everyone time and headaches that way. But if most people were ensuring doomseker can find their wads, then this rule and change isn't even going to bother them.
the major problems with searching for the mod in the forum are:
1) The PWAD name doesn't make it obvious enough (something in it doesn't match the name of the thread or something)
2) Sometimes, said PWAD was only leaked to a few for testing purposes but said purpose was not mentioned in, let's say, title.
3) Even with the forum's search engine, there are still stuff that falls into a gap because the filename isn't listed in their own topic.
If the number 3 is done, it would be enough to solve the problem!
Oh, this:
Say I wanted to test something privately online with only a few people and noone else. (Let's say for your understanding, the MM8 expansion). Would I still have to provide the wad on wadhost or could I just distribute it privately?
Also, could you perhaps put up a tutorial of some sorts for how to upload correctly to wadhost?Honestly... Wadhost isn't even worth it anymore. They want us to do a lot of things just to have a small chance of approval. We better off find a FTP of sorts, or something that at least allows handling directories.
I'm having a wee bit of trouble :/

God, finally.No, "Best. Ever." is the name of a host. Speaking of, looks much better host than Wadhost is, even though you have to up one file at a time rather than bulk upload, and is simpler.
This may be the best rule.
Ever.
http://doom.dogsoft.net/index.php works well, as posted by Tsuki.Allow me to correct: If someone could tell Mess to explain if the service is free and where to get it;
http://remote.gouhadou.com/files/ (http://remote.gouhadou.com/files/) If someone could tell Mess to have an upload feature for this, that would be grand.
Any chance of changing the grace period to a week after MM8BDM v3 is released? Most people will probably have to update their wads anyway so uploading them then having the possibility of uploading a new version a few days after would be a waste.

I approve, as I've got a few minor things I'd like to change as well. Updating it once just for this, then to update it again for MM8, (when it's close to release) would seem like a hassle.
Thanks to BB for this link.

Wadseeker friendly sites.
Every map pack ever made (yes, that includes OZX and FMP) has been uploaded to best.ever. and I'll update the list of uploaded wads as more servers begin using obscure projects. I recommend that the following people get themselves a Best.Ever. account to prevent everyone from searching through the forum for a single wad:
-Silversin (Saxton Hale and maps took a while to upload)
-Duora Super Gyro (uploading your 60 MB behemoth took me quite a while)
-Neo (I don't like uploading 36 MB updates, just as players don't like having to find your topic to download it)
-Yellow Devil (or Celery, just so long as the classes updates become easily available for everyone)
-Neo (I don't like uploading 36 MB updates, just as players don't like having to find your topic to download it)

1. well, blame my habit of wheneever i start on new update, i just make the changes to old file. forget to get rid of repeated stuff, get lazy, and just call it a day, but i can atleast TRY to make an effort to just include the files changed, though when i DID do that in the past, game basically gave me a big giant "middle finger" in the form of not being able to damage boss, but boss being able to damage you <_>
(edit): MOST(like, 75-88.62%) of the files size comes from the music/sounds from saxton hale <_> im afraid if i do get rid of them in an update, ill forget to readd them in later, and ill end up with just said version, and when i do use it, there'll be no music <_>, and im not deaf, so thats a problem
