Welp, I noticed this awhile back but I didn't actually attempt to talk this out since I was busy IRL.
However, assuming valve went apeshit retarded and started to make mods profitable, the subject regarding modding and the mod community has raised flags, and since /vm/ was already on the "vidya related" header as a promotion, I won't lie, it did give the board a decent amount of publicity but it didn't seem interesting enough awhile back so i'm assuming that it was later removed because the board just didn't seem promising enough (or was viewed as complete shit by the newer mods), and of course, i'm a terrible person when it comes to promoting a board. I just don't know how that shit works.
Anyways, Mark or whoever's running /v/ to its full glory, if you can, Help raise the modfags on 8chan once more, if you could squeeze in the modding board again that would be rad fucking great, especially now since the valve/steam drama discussion is skyrocketing.
Oh and for anyone else, The board exist to discuss modding in general for videogames, I'm not there most of the time so if you think you can run it better then me, then i'll be glad to give it away, I just want people to care more about the moddin.
