  1. What about a scenario like this: What if you knew you were a registered member of MVPMods from years back, but you forgot your username/login information? What if you no longer had access to the email you registered with for MVPMods?  You can't get a password recovery email because you don't have access to that email address anymore. You probably don't even know the alias you made for the site, and even if you did, you still can't get a new password. Would you rather wait for the entire process of emailing a catch-all email that will probably be checked by a staff member once a day or something (not everyone is as vigilant to email than say...a text, facebook notification or a tweet) to get the issue resolved, or would you just re-register a new alias which will send out a validation email and you can join the community right away, hoping you'll just cross that bridge (about the duplicate account) when you come to it? These things can happen, and it's happened to me on a different forum site many many years ago. To circumvent this we have two social media presences on both Twitter and Facebook to help people out if emailing takes too long and doesn't work. There were always procedures in place to discourage duplicate accounts, but what works is the right procedure and how you implement it, because as I know for sure, there will never be a way to stop them from happening.
  2. ​His content is also posted on OperationSports as well.
  3. As some of you know, I LOVE the 80s, but this video is on a whole other level. SO GOOD.
  4. ​kyleb has a roster ready with the upcoming MVP 15 mod
  5. ​I don't think it's likely that would happen considering the game is a yearly iteration.
  6. ​No need to, Blablabla. The file is up and working properly.
  7. I hope the forum restructuring doesn't freak anyone out.  The site guidelines have been revamped and should reflect more modern rules and procedures. http://www.mvpmods.com/guidelines/
  8. ​It's in the pipeline, friend. This site upgrade is a massive overhaul of our content system.
  9. I'll answer right away: 1) There have always been spam accounts on forums since as far back as I have been using the internet, and there are several procedures and practices that have exist to keep spam accounts away, especially with the CMS system the site uses. Let's keep things 100%: Most of the accounts registered here on this site are spam accounts. Some aren't even actual users. It's why I balked at the manual account check that you mentioned, especially when, shortly after your post, I got a private message by a user about some inheritance (and I'm not joking, I have attached a screenshot). This is a major problem. 2) I wouldn't say that duplicate account takes up server space (other than an entry in the site database, not really), and having two different computers with two accounts doesn't mean he can download things faster, because as far as I know the site is hosted on one server and there are anti-leech protections in place due to the content management system that the site uses. Not exactly a drain on resources. Technically, all a duplicate account could do from a functionality standpoint would be to simply enable the user to circumvent the download system which, as we have both stated has no longer been in place.
  10. Run the program as administrator. Right click on the exe, and select "Run as Administrator". It's the only way to edit files in the Program Files folder.
  11. This is one of the few posts where ​I'm not sure if you're serious or not.
  12. ​ This should indicate there should be a spam protection tweak set up on this site somewhere to prevent bulk registrations like that.
  13. The duplicate account policy was set in place if I remember clearly to prevent people from circumventing the download limit the site imposed a long time ago. Since the limit has been lifted, wouldn't it make sense to look into why users still have duplicate accounts? More often than not it could just be a simple "forgot my password/don't have access to the email registered to that account" issue that could be taken care of by a simple email to something like a catchall account like accounts@mvpmods.com or something and setting up an amnesty/clean slate program for existing members who had to make a new username for whatever reason I've got some ideas flowing, it must be my allergy medication
  14. This is bullshit and BSU-FAN needs to come back. If we're going to push for a more community-oriented site, we will have to overhaul how we communicate what we expect out of members who register, and the people who come to our site as well as our existing members. Some of us need to remember it's the mods that bring people here and it's been that way for a while, MVP or MLB, High Heat, Hardball 6, whatever the hell, it doesn't even fscking matter.
  15. List your PC specifications and we'll try to better assist you
  16. http://steamcommunity.com/app/207060/ I think they just took the store page off, but the community page is still up
  17. ​wait what https://steamdb.info/app/207060/
  18. ​If you still have the key, register it on Steam if it looks like the sample key strings below:
  19. Have you tried registering the key on Steam?
  20. The fact that I can post this on my iPhone on the MOBILE version of the site put a huge smile on this guy's face
  21. the game not being able to launch is usually a bad global.iff file. Download one of the equipment mods and load up the game. See if it will run or crash back to the desktop.
  22. that ball texture is serious
  23. I'm working on a new global for 2K12 as well.
  24. With 31 posts I don't think he visits the site often. Let's be a little nicer ;)
  25. Weather changes have given me a cold that I'm struggling to overcome. Thanks A-Roid
