It looks like it was run by thomamon and RBLwebguy. Here is its internet archive page.

I think PadresFan would agree that there really isn't any competition between those who host mods. Mod Squad was loaded with OOTP 2006 and 2007 stuff and now PadresFan's site definitely is the most well organized and easily accessible now that Mod Squad is gone. My AllSimBaseball site is available for whatever mods anyone wants to share but I consider it more of an alternative to using Rapidshare or those other web based services that try to get you to pay for premium accounts so your uploads and downloads will be faster.

That said, PLEASE upload at AllSimBaseball(it's 100% free), then DO give PadresFan the link to your mod. While it'll be readily available on AllSimBaseball immediately, PadresFan's site is much more organized, and my site can always serve as a backup or a mirror because I do not actively seek out mods to host on my own.

If you have the time and webspace, consider collecting OOTP mods and sharing them. If PadresFan or I kick the bucket

, it would be nice to know that OOTP mods will not disappear.

God forbid. All around.

Meh, we all gotta go sometime!

At least if I go now, I'll be remembered for something.

And what, pray tell, will you be remembered for?

You can become immortal by doing great deeds or just by failure to die.
I'll take the latter.

There have been a ton of mod sites over the years (well, at least since OOTP 3) that have come and gone but there are always someone who steps in and takes the mantle.

If I remember correctly, RBLwebguy is the handle of one the commishes (actually he stepped down recently but is still in that league as a GM) of a league I was in as of a few weeks ago. I know he didn't literally kick the bucket hehe...he probably just is playing less or life has caused him to put stuff like a mod site for a game on the back burner.

Pretty sure he was on the Beta team for OOTP 2007 as well.

It's logical to make the connection and if it happened that way, it happened, that's all.

It's on its way. As I said in my message, this is "subject of course to complaint from one Mr. Bogart in which case, I am sure, you will remove them promptly. I like them because they are stylistic and realistic at the same time, and the field positions are all exactly the same."

Thanks for the work you do to support the OOTP community.

Cool! Please Host it Padres Fan! I need a copy myself.

I lost the computer I made it on years ago.

If it's not on my site now, then I don't have a copy of it....
