Hey everyone.. I have been setting up ONE of my servers (yea I got some nifty lil surprises in our future ) and putting a pc together for one person on here and trying like hell to get steam to not be a giant cow fart (thats my new thing today lol) but I digress.. as you can imagine, not all of the mods on my personal server are from modhub.. and some of these come from those damn redirect sites that WILL fool you into downloading a virus if you arent keeping a keen eye out..
I have done this before many times in fs17 (when I first got my pc I ended up with over 1000 mods downloaded from various sites in less than a month) so I was able to safely navigate these sites with little to no risk (norton fixin to monkey stomp those viruses, bring it on lol) but I realize by my observations over the past few years that not everyone can navigate those sites very easily.. Idk if any of you remember a user on giants forum named manosaurus.. he upgraded from console to pc and had a virus inside of a week from one of those 3rd party mod sites that redirect.. he was PISSED.. I would like to be able to help all of you avoid this.
I know of a few sites I can go to and make step by step guides but only a few. I would like to make guides for the most common types of these sites. If you want to help, drop me a public link of one of those silly redirect mod sites so I can use it to build the new guides.. Got a couple more guides in mind but I think this should come first as it protects our games, hardware and ultimately, our sanity.
Thanks in advance for any help. This is just one of the many quality of life changes I have in mind for the future of this forum.. I am seriously considering changing gears around here and making this forum cater to active users instead of something people just pop in as guests cause they are bored.. but.. that's another thing entirely... This big truck is coasting to the lights.. listen for me to dump the clutch cause when it turns green again imma hit the gas, change gears and this forum will to cater to me and people like me.
