In October 2007, we made the decision to expand the existing community at H2Vista.net. In fall 2006, we launched the website in anticipation of the future modding community of the upcoming Games for Windows Live title, Halo 2 Vista. With the colossal failure the game turned out to be, the community we all built and were a part of was beginning to fade away. It was clear that if we didn't do anything about it, it would soon diminish into nothing. So we did.
Several months, long nights, and motivational speeches later, we have Modacity. With Modacity, we hope open the door for the discussion and development of content for several games and engines. Most of today's popular games on the popular engines of Blam!, Source, Unreal (full section coming soon...), and CryEngine are supported.
In addition to a revamp of the forums, we also have also revamped the subsections of the website. All members now have the freedom to create their own personal blog. Everyone is entitled to one blog with a custom URL. Members may use the blogs for anything - personal lives, map teams, or even portfolios. Several themes are pre-installed for members to choose from, and even more themes will be installed in the future. The blogs are still a rough work in progress and are being rolled out slowly over the next week. Currently, the blogs are invite only, and users will be able to sign up in their user control panel under "Manage Blogs." The H2V wiki has disappeared from the navigation, but still remains accessible at its old URL. The Modacity Wiki is being completely reworked to be useful and manageable, unlike the prior one.
With the expansion of the website, we also have promoted several members to staff. Sections are now going to be moderated by specific mods to concentrate focus on those areas. Conscars and Phopojijo are now welcome aboard the Modacity Staff, and several other members will be promoted to section mods within the coming days.
Today, on April 1, 2008, we launch Modacity. Thanks to you, the community, this is all possible. When the Crysis forum was created, you showed and expressed that you would appreciate and use the sections we expanded to. Your suggestions of new forums, exactly as we had laid out, only helped reinforce our decision to expand. Minor changes will occur to the website over the next few days as we continue to iron out the bugs. Again, thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy the new network.
