Sent me this PM:

As you may or may not know, our website has our own hosting capabilities. We host everything from official patches to the latest mods, and we would like to host RS2 when it is released, as we recognise it's status as one of the best RTW mods around. At the very least, we would like to be one of your official mirrors when it is release.

Further to that however, I was wondering if you would like to consider some kind of 'timed' exclusive? Basically, all that would mean is that, for the first week say, ONLY our mirror is the one that works, and then after that you could upload whereever else you want to. In return, we will give you whatever exposure we can, within reason. Our site gets like 1 million uniques a month, and most of that is through downloads, so people WILL see it.

What do you think?

I'm all for that as long as we can be assured that it can handle the download frenzy that is likely to occur.

I had a bit of a scout around their site and it seems professional. I like the idea, as long as we host one version and their one is simply a mirror. Would definitely help with the amount of people that will be downloading and the publicity to people who haven't yet been exposed to the mod would be brilliant.

They've hosted for RTW: LOTR in the past, and a few other mods. I wonder if we can get them to do a preview write up using Ibram's experience of the mod and so generate publicity. Post a link to the article on their website on the forum as part of the official previews series and get the excitement up even more.

Speaking of that, should we create a MoDDB profile as well?

I've downloaded stuff from strategyinformer before, it's safe for as far as I can tell.
