Hey guys!

The holidays are coming up quick and with that we have our family gatherings to attend to (or you know, sitting on the couch eating ham and watching TV)! Since we prefer to spend out holidays with our family instead of looking over files all day we will have limited availability to approval files/projects or answer questions during this time. Below you can find our full schedule, while most of these days are marked unavailable one of us might check in randomly during the day to clear the queue out. On Christmas Eve I will make sure the queue is clear before I head to bed to prevent any 24-hour delays. If you have an emergency or concern feel free to reach out to me on twitter (@ZeldoKavira) and if I see it I will be glad to help :)

• Thanksgiving (11/24)
  • No availability. Expect 6-18 hour delays.
• Black Friday (11/25)
  • Limited Availability. Expect 1-2 hour delays.
• Christmas Eve (12/24)
  • No availability. Expect 6-18 hour delays.
• Christmas Day (12/25)
  • No availability. Expect 6-18 hour delays.
• New Years Eve (12/31)
  • Limited Availability after 4PM PST. Expect 4-6 hour delays.
  • Click here and add your city to see what time this is where you live!
• New Years Day (1/1)
  • Limited Availability before 12AM PST. Expect 4-6 hour delays.
  • Click here and add your city to see what time this is where you live!

Separate from our Holiday hours we recently hired a new moderator to help with our work load. We have all been working 7 days a week for quite a few months to keep up with you guys and your awesome mods/addons but we are looking forward to time off again! That said we are still a little understaffed and so there will be two 8 hour periods in which the queue will not be covered every week. These will be the same every week and easily predictable in case anything comes up! We went through our stats and these two shifts are the least impactful for you guys, but we understand this can be frustrating apologize for the inconvenience. This will kick in starting next week.

• Tuesdays from 12AM to 8AM PST
• Wednesdays from 12AM to 8AM PST 

Here are these times converted to a few time zones:

• EST: 3AM-12AM
• AEST: 7PM-3AM
• CET: 9AM-5PM

Thanks!

Kerbal Space Program, Curse.com Partner Together
For Updated Modding Community Website

Kerbal Spaceport will now be part of CurseForge modding community

Squad, the developers of the award-winning space agency sim game Kerbal Space Program, announced a partnership with Curse.com to partner on a new website for Kerbal Spaceport, the host site for the game’s popular modding community.

Starting today, modders will be welcomed to start updating and uploading their KSP game mods to http://kerbal.curseforge.com. The existing website, http://KerbalSpaceport.com, will remain open for modders to transfer their mods to the new site but will no longer be accepting new mods. Players will go to Curse.com to find Kerbal Space Program mods.

“Modders have helped make Kerbal Space Program a more open, more rewarding game experience for our players,” Squad chief operating officer Adrian Goya said. “Curse is an important partner because their team is passionate and experienced in caring for and growing online game communities, such as our amazing playerbase for Kerbal Space Program.”

"We've got a great platform and a tremendous team that will be supporting the amazing modders for Kerbal Space Program," said Bryan McLemore, Curse's Author Platform Evangelist. "We also expect the millions of gamers who frequent Curse every month to see Kerbal Space Program as a great addition to our existing community."

Kerbal Space Program recently won the 2013 Game Developers Choice Audience Award, which is voted online by gamers from all games nominated, including indie and AAA titles. KerbalSpaceport, the home for KSP mods, has more than 2,000 pieces of user-generated content to allow for players to customize their KSP experience. As part of CurseForge, modders will now have a bigger audience to share their mods and will have the opportunity to participate in ad-generated revenue sharing.

Hey folks,

After a long wait, we are happy to announce the addition of Amazon.ca Gift Cards to the CurseForge Store! No longer are Canadian authors locked into PayPal for their point expenditures; we have $10, $20, $50, and $100 Gift Cards in stock now.

Hi Everyone,

Today we launch our new store! This is the first in a series of releases that will revamp the whole of CurseForge and all the sites powered by it. Through this we'll be modernizing the layout and style of the sites as well as addressing the long standing concerns many of our authors have had.

It's important to know that many actions related to points need to be completed from within the new store. Purchasing points, viewing your totals and history, as well as transferring points to other users. Project reward splits are still configured on the current site.

Below you'll find a nice screenshot of the general layout of the new store. We already have a list of improvements for the next iteration. You have my word that they'll be here soon, but please give us your feedback as well. We'd love to know what you guys think.

The new store can be found at store.curseforge.com.

Curse is happy to announce that our complimentary author reward Premium program is once again properly giving free Premium!  With this change also comes a few new parameters.

As of today, if you are a contributor of any sort to a currently active project within an upper bounds of monthly popularity percentage, you will receive a free monthly subscription!  This service is now extended to all authors, as even more games are eligible!  Currently, all games supported on the various CurseForge sites are eligible, provided  you meet the requirements.  As such, the following sites are currently included:

• CurseForge
• WowAce
• SkyrimForge
• Sc2mapster
• Bukkit Dev

If you believe you should be receiving your complimentary Premium but have yet to, please wait 24 hours to make sure that the email and complimentary subscription have had time to be granted.  Also please remember that you will need to log out and back in to both the Client and Curse.com to receive your benefits.  If after a 24 hour period you are not receiving your complimentary subscription, please either make a report or ticket on CurseForge, or leave a forum post.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience the lack of Premium may have caused our authors!  Thank you for your patience!

Though this actually happened last week, no announcement was ever made about this highly-annoying site bug. Enjoy!
