GTA4Mods (GTAGaming) - The Shutdown Megathread

[Hullian111 558]

What a shame I have to do one of these again. But, thats how the world works, circle of life, circle of death, etc.

 

GTAGAMING, AND ALONGSIDE IT, GTA4MODS HAS CLOSED DOWN. It was coming, anyway. The move to GTA V modding, the aging and exodus of the site, and the hack all lead to it closing, But rest assured,

ALL GTAGAMING SITES HAVE ARCHIVES, AND THE ADMIN IS MAKING FINAL TWEAKS AND SEARCH BARS. This is the best news. Unlike the sh*tshow that was GTAPoliceMods, the last remaining admin, DarkValorous has teamed up with some people to archive the mods uploaded on GTAGaming, and work is being done to add search bars.

A FINAL STATEMENT

 

It will be sad to see it go, even though I learned I couldn't delete accounts until it was too late, and I wish DarkValorous the best in maintaining the archive.

 

RIP GTAGaming - 2002-2017 -15 years of hell never stopped us dreaming.

What's causing all of these GTA modding sites to shut down? Especially the ones that have been around for 10+ years.

My guess Rivalries, Modding Drama, and loss of traffic due to not enough more current mods being hosted/only older mods for games that most don't play anymore.

I'm sure some of you who regularly visited the site (and still try to now) will know this, but it appears a serious problem involving URLs for download files has appeared - access is denied to the downloads, as it appears the download URLs are incompatible with the new site. I've found some fixes, which you can find in the links for my Ranger mods, however, these only work intermittently for different download pages. I'm hoping this will be resolved soon.
