Yeah, I think I will be redirecting the page but keeping the files so that the links won't get broken on the forum.

Seeing that at the porteus-apps site leaves me worried -- if a TopTen pro can't always get it right (packaging), what sort of grief are we in for after blind-leading-the-blind (and hopefully not malicious) users have uploaded unvetted packages?
We are all human and that is the risk involved with sharing modules and that is why I am putting in a proper rating system for both modules and users. At the end of the day, if someone is truly worried about the risk or quality of user made modules then they wouldn't use them to start with whether it be on porteus-apps or on the forum. The truth is alot of us are using them, especially new linux users that find it hard to add software.
The idea behind the webpage was simply to catalog the modules that people are announcing and sharing on the forum anyway, making them easier to find and browse. I know I have looked for modules on the forum that I know are there and haven't been able to find them using the forum search.

Cheers. There have only been 2 uploaders other than me and I have made contact with both of them.
dustbunnies wrote:Also, each time someone uploads a module over there, it would be helpful if they also announced/described it in the forums here
and vice versa. Would be great if each time someone announced it on the forum they announced it on porteus-apps too. Both uploaders on porteus-apps made posts for the modules here on the forum. I have got a bit slack adding every module to the forum and the problem is if i make a post for every module I upload it would be just as bad as spam. If i post 20 modules it will make reading the active posts difficult for both users and admins.
Thanks again for the reply, hope to see you soon on porteus-apps
