while you can't stop people from bolting, it might not be a bad idea that we start archiving mods (grouped by license/repo) and mirroring those archives in case they decide to wreck their work on the way out.
Thoughts?

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

Some people want to be "forgiven" on the Internet; can't do anything against this. The current way of posting mods is fine as-is, but if you have a copy of the mod, feel free to redistribute it...

I dont know if he'll be back. What sucks is he had archived a lot of other stuff on git that disappeared along with his stuff, including some of my older stuff i cant find on my own drives lol

Archiving/Mirroring Mods is a cool idea.
But it is also lots of work:
Every mod update must be added to the repo.
If a few people would work together this would be possible.
There is also the question where it could be stored.
Github would be possible...
