Disagree with any you like, these aren't rules that must be rigidly followed, their suggestions. I only say it because I know there are people who never visit (or don't even know about) the ASW sites. I know I didn't for a long time, I only found plugins because people put them on lots of sites. Anyway it was only a suggestion...

Oh, I know, and I probably should have given my reasons for disagreeing, which EVula stated quite well:

I don't think that plugins should be hosted in multiple locations, primarily because a single location is good enough for most plugins, and when you update your plugin, then you have multiple locations to update. Keeping all plugins on the Addons page works well for both the author and the potential users, who only have to look in a single location for new plugins.

I think this holds true even for large TCs. However, I also feel that if you do have a nice, professional-looking website that you know you're not going to lose, hosting your TC there would only make sense -- if you've got the space to host it, of course.

Yeah, I don't consider it a part of the Empire proper since I don't actually own it (unlike my four domains), but it is certainly another thing in the EV community that I have control over. If we were to continue the "imperialistic" analogy, I guess it would count as a settlement more than a colony. (url="http://"http://www.evula.org/").org(/url)-hosted sites are colonies, the Ambrosia things I control are settlements, (url="http://"http://www.evula.net/").net(/url)-hosted sites are districts, and my (url="http://"http://forums.evula.com/")Forums(/url) would be the capital.

I need to write all this stuff down somewhere.

Edit: I must be as tired as I feel, I botched the whole analogy thing. Bleh, I guess that's what I get for going to bed at 2:30 and waking up at 7.
