Hello,

I miss a feature to comment or discuss mod at Spacedock. Compared to other solutions - e.g. Steam Workshop - you cannot get community feedback about the mod.
So questions like: "Is the mod currently working", current workarounds and celebrations cannot take place at Spacedock.

I love to see some community discussion in Spacedock.

Cheers :)

Wow, Spacedock has a lot of mods that don't have threads here! Bit of a shame, but ok: let's dive in the modding rabbithole!

There’s your answer Sym.   For over a decade we’ve hosted the mods offsite, but the main repository and discussion was here on the forums.    The forums aren’t going anywhere, but, there’s been at least 3 major mod hosting sites, and with the forum threads, some of those mods might have been lost.   
 

Trying to keep the discussion to one location helps keep the community from fracturing.

Totally agree, the discussions should take place right here (and this is not meant as criticism against spacedock). All things ksp in one place, the less fragmentation of information, the better, imho.

@modus

The KSP Community has specialist services:

Official KSP Forums: The Information Hub
Realtime Chat: IRC, nowdays Discord.
KerbalX: Craft hosting
CKAN: Mod (dependency) manager
SpaceDock: Mod hosting

(Did i miss something?)

I did always want to add more social and administrativ functions like onsite messenging and mod rating. But there was fear it could generate a lot of work manageing those. And helping hands always are in short supply.

Though I have heard that in some browsers it's ctrl-F5 instead, and I generally use ctrl-shift-R.

Would be a lot more usable (especially for newbies) if you could comment where you are looking for and got the mod, they might not even have accounts here.

Perhaps an automatic forum integration? publish a mod on spacedock, creates a thread here -> you can embed a thread onto spacedock mod view page

Since Curse is the contracted (last I heard it was still in effect, might have expired) official mod hosting site, but is an absolute mess to use, @VITASand others started up Spacedock with their own time and funds.    Without that official recognition and support from PD/TTi, I don’t think we’ll ever see that.
