This bring me to one question, I was reading this form and I realized it's been a couple of years now and many mods haven't been re-posted, is there any thoughts on uploading all the old mods, giving credit to the original authors and allowing them to take over the mod release if requested, and possibly going through and editing the latest versions released to align with the 2.0 format and do any beta testing to weed out crashes?
This has been suggested a few times but people usually lose interest once they realize what a huge effort it is to update, test and republish
all the mods.
I recommend starting small, if you still use an old mod that isn't on the portal, update it and share it with the community. Some authors might still reply if you PM them, if not credit the original author and respect their wishes, don't reupload any deleted or obsoleted mods. If they return you can give them back the mod, as mod.io allows multiple admins per mod.
