These files need to be reuploaded. Contact the submitter. 

The file is clean but it looks like chrome does not like the Mismatch URLS from sim-monsters to our download server, Ill see what I can do to fix this. You can still download the files inside of chrome by pressing Ctrl+J on the downloads and allowing it. Or use another browser in the meantime. 

The short answer is SEO and leeching. If we can generate return traffic after 24 hours it helps in SEO.. You can avoid these limits by becoming obtaining a distinguished role or becoming a donator. 

You have downloaded 50 items in 48 hours.. I would say thats a bit more than a few. Wait for the 24 hour timer to reset. 

@everyone
As some of you might be aware there was a situation regarding a member of the site and another discord resulting in a ban leaving the community a bit confused and divided. While it is not our stance to interfere with outside matters, this was brought to my attention directly. I acted swiftly to stop the situation from progressing further without consulting anyone else within the staff. There was an unwritten rule for our staff to be hands off. I believe there was some holes in that stance and created opportunities for people of this community to act in less than acceptable ways with immunity regardless of their actions. After gathering with the team and discussing further we have decided to change the ban to a suspension for this member. While we cannot review every situation and will not police every server we will act in extreme circumstances and issue punishments on a case by case basis if proper proof and situations warrant it. 

Let me be clear, We Will Not Tolerate Bigotry, Hate, Discrimination, Bullying, or Harassment on our servers. This is everyone's warning going forward this includes staff. We want to promote a place where everyone can feel free to post about what we are all here for Simulation Monster Trucks.... 

You have downloaded files today not sure what your asking on how do you download a file? You've downloaded 25 already which is the daily limit for a basic members account.

Id like to thank everyone that participated in the competition there were a lot of great designs. Unfortunately we had to pick only one, and that design was by Andrew. It will fly proud at the top of every page on the forum now. 

Everything is working as intended, you hit the maximum downloads per day. Members get 25 files per day, 5 as a guest. Donators get unlimited

Here are a few of our previous logos, these will still be considered.

Hi all, I've recently started to realize how naked the site is without having a main logo up top. We had an older one but I feel the style has become pretty dated. I would like to open up the floor to some  more designs if anyone is interested. There are two primary themes for members to select Light and Night. If you design a transparent logo it could be used for both, however if you design with a background please keep in mind it needs to fit for both themes or you will need to make two separate versions for the themes. I know there is a ton of talent on this site, so if you want to get your design noticed feel free to reply to this thread with your banner/logo. 

You can reply directly to this thread, I think we will leave this thread open until April 30, 11:59 PM CST.

You must include Sim-Monsters as the primary focus of the banner image. Sim-monsters.com is a Plus, but not required. Please avoid using copyrighted items such as branding... Example Monster Jam, Goodyear.. ETC. 

Please limit entries to be a maximum of 850px (W) X 175px (L). There are no limitations on how many ideas or variations you submit. 

There will be a small prize pack for being the winning design which I will contact you directly if you are the selected winner. As far as the winner goes, I think it will be based off of my personal preference and I will talk with some members who I feel have a good taste in design as well. This will not be a public vote as I'm not looking to turn it in to a popularity contest.

This might not be the exact or specific answer you want but it should give you a relatively good idea as to the why. Most of the downloads were previously hosted on the site until it got to the point of people uploading absurdly sized zips because of poor habits in texture sizing (looking at you mr 8000x8000 solid image texture) which rapidly made the cost of the site skyrocket to the point of I believe were were informed by @liquidfire215 that it all needed to be moved offsite or they were considering raising the monthly payment to something in the 4 digit range or just outright removing the site. I don't think any of us really expected the site to get as big as it has, we don't sell anything or make any profit outside of donations or ad revenue and even the donations from what I can recall are quite rare since a large chunk of the user base is not of the working age range yet. I've thought about suggesting some type of store with basic things in the past but kind of figured it'd cost too much and not garner enough profit for it to be relevant. @Outlawed May be able to give you a better or more informative answer than myself.

There were other sites besides MediaFire but a lot of them no longer exist or would just delete your files or account the second they had too many people using the service, I personally always try to upload anything of mine to Google Drive in addition to MediaFire for those who don't wish to venture near MediaFire. The main reason for a lot of the sketchy ads they use is largely to do with their commonplace use of illegal activities. Google Drive will scan files for viruses provided they are below 100MB but if you've downloaded anything from Sim-Monsters recently you know some of the file sizes are rather ridiculous if we're being honest.

 

I highly recommend uBlock Origin and some sort of Pop Up Blocker if you are an active user of the internet.

I think this is actually a really well thought out response and addresses many concerns that you had. As far as some back story I purchased a premium media fire account back when we were forced to move files offsite or close our doors. The premium media fire links at the time were direct download and avoided any ads. Im not opposed to everyone migrating to google drive for hosting mods, I can look into integrating a better system for drive integration. I personally have not had any issues with clicking the wrong things on mediafire and getting any misdirects as I use plugins such as adblock plus and tampermonkey.

Thank you for bringing to my attention for mediafire practices, I will see what we can do moving forward to address this concern. 

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for sticking around through everything. Hopefully, it will be here for a while longer to meet the community's needs. I'm still around if anyone has ideas or whatnot.

I don't do help me make a truck or how to paint request..... however, if you have legit criticisms or ideas pass them along and Ill do what I can to get them implemented if feasible.

You can edit it, I already fixed all the existing posts.

One thing this forum allows for is tagging integration, this will not only make it easier for new users to discover content, but also assist google/bing/yahoo for finding new  members to attract. 

As some of you have noticed there is a fancy Tags options when creating a new topic.

This can be used to create a tag beside your entry.  Simply type in the tag that fits the post best. and select the item prefix dropdown, this lets you set a tag at the front of the topic.

I would appreciate everyone's participation in making this the norm for tutorials. 

If you need to contact a Moderator or Admin, or simply wish to view the complete administration team, you can click More in the top right of the forum. A drop down will appear, click staff to view the current staff. This list will show you administrators and moderators.

Note that you can report content to all staff by pressing the "Report Post" button next to the time stamp in a post.

Testing good music formatting properly!!

All points have been noted, I will prioritize things in order of importance. Thanks for the input, keep posting any issues you may have. 

more texture dumps

Just doing some browsing

Basically, as long as Microsoft supports windows 7, I will use it

LMAO

That is asinine from a gaming stand point, you realize you will be left in the dust once dx12 drops? Windows 7 will not have support for it.
