First off, thanks to everyone who's posted in this thread. I hadn't even considered PM because of the rep it's gotten around here. Still, based on the advice that's been given here I decided to sign up and make a posting for my pack. As someone said, it's better to have an 'official' post than wait for someone else to take my name and put up an unauthorized mirror.
While my pack is under a license that allows for redistribution, I would still prefer that I be somewhat in control of it. If for no other reason than that someone else might get bored of updating the posting and give people the wrong idea about the pack.
The posting is Here if anyone feels like stopping by or whatever. If nothing else, I can now point here if anyone asks if it's a real cross-post or not.
Anyway, thanks again for the great advice. And yea, the "What's Hot" list is pretty messed.

I'm pretty sure the "Whats Hot" list somehow works on ratios between views, downloads, diamonds and pack age (with age hurting you).. because it seemed like the more popular my pack got the *lower* on the list it was.
Actually, when Chroma Hills was posted is a good example, he also has a very popular pack over there. Like mine it skyrocketed past everything else (not hard, most of the stuff is bucketfills), within 24 hours he rocketed past my position on the Whats Hot list, taking third place from me and bumping me to 4. A few days later I was 6 or 10 or so and now I'm off the list. His is also following the exact same pattern as mine, and will (or already has) fall/fell off the list even though both of us have a steady average of 500-700 downloads a day, higher than almost all the packs in the section but the already established mega-hits like Sphax, Misa, etc..
So, I take any position on any list on the site with a grain of salt, im just happy to have protected my mirror.
Yeah what him above said............its a bizzare system to the core.
BUT get your pack on there no matter what to place your ownership on there at least. Much easier to deal with misuse if your pack is established. Use you user name on here as well it can matched up easily to your threads and immediate ownership rights can be seen in a report.
I would type more but is 4.30am and Ray covers it pretty much..........says my downloads were 1800 odd today dam.
Ray you been studying those those stats too hard relax Yours will pull ahead as Spahx users are in the millions and they will stick to that style if they switch and its younger userbase is huge.

I just diamond/faved Sanity and it jumped from the bottom of the Whats Hot list to No.3.
EDIT: Now it's No.1, with 2 whole diamonds! Grats Alvoria. haha.
Not saying Sanity doesn't deserve to be on the list. But I really don't hold stock in the system. I'm just really curious why it's as fubar as it is. It's so poorly done it makes me want to know if they tried to screw it up as a joke to troll everyone.
Holy cow, the weekend must be a major traffic day for PMC. I have 1,500 downloads just today. I guess it's all the kids. They play games on weekends, most (normal) adults play games after work on weekdays and catch up on real life stuff on the weekend. My server has an average age of around 30-something and it's usually dead all weekend, and booming Monday-Friday. o_O
I don't think my pack ever made it to the hot list in it's time on PMC. The system is just so WTFish.
..yes.. WT Fish!
I also just had my own issue on there with my Skins, with two ofthem being deleted by one mod, claiming them as 'default recolors' of such another mod restored them.. as they clearly were not.

Yea, I found Chroma Hills on page 6 of the "What's Hot", a mere five days after it was posted. Guess I'll enjoy my brief moment in the sun.

It probably did, but everything on that list seems to be a "blink and you'll miss it affair". I mean, I'm making this list about a week after Ray's pack was on the hot list, and now it's buried a dozen pages down.
I also just had my own issue on there with my Skins, with two ofthem being deleted by one mod, claiming them as 'default recolors' of such another mod restored them.. as they clearly were not.
Yea, I was considering uploading some skins I'd made just to boost my XP (Want to get to Lv.20 so I can use goo.gl)... but now I'm not sure. Of course, ten hours later I'm already at Lv.9, so I doubt it's necessary at all.
Still, it sucks that they did that to you. I can kinda see why, though. Anything that bears a significant enough resemblance to the default could be suspected as being an edit. It really bites that you got stung when so many others go unnoticed.
I wish they'd enforce that rule for Texture Packs. It'd thin the list from hundreds to dozens in the blink of an eye.
Edit: OK, is anyone else having this problem? Whenever I got to PMC's skin section, if I have Javascript enabled, my security board lights up like a Christmas Tree and then my computer freezes. What in blazes is PMC trying to do to my computer?!
Oh, and i used PMC because... there was that other Frenden pack back then, and it was just being discontinued. I like the idea of being able to look at new packs easily, quick and well-formatted without going through forum threads... well, at least thats what i think was the original plan, but i guess we all know how it looks like in reality. But i don't want to complain, the mods are fast and it works better than the Curse list(THAT is in a bad state at the moment... ).
Yea, Curse's list is in bad shape. There isn't even a good way to search by Minecraft version. I honestly don't care much since I'm using it as a glorified file host, but they really should step it up a notch or two. Heck, my post on there is pathetic just because I couldn't even figure out how to post images.
Hmm... goo.gl is allowed? So i could just link the curse pack link there? I just looked, i can only upload, not link, although my level is 36. Is there a help site i missed?
You're adding the link as a mirror, yes? There should be a box under the main download thingy where you can link to a mirror file.
Yeah they -really- don't want you using anything other than their site pretty much.
We should all get together and do a masive fav/like/dl/diamond of all our packs to give em all a boost xD
Done Don't you have full tekkit support for Glendale also? You should make a big thing about that on your submission as there really isn't that many packs supporting it
haha, I'll help out later today. Although nothing will help to boost mine so you guys won't have to worry about me unless you want to as I'm too far off any of the top pages now for anything to matter. I'm kinda at the point I have to take what I can get from external links and the recent updates page.
I've sussed this hot list kind of after studying things a bit more......Ray i blame you, stat watching is contagious!
It's not a HOT list its a NEW SUBMISSION (too similar to the Latest list) list and every pack gets a window of opportunity to be seen good or bad for a several day period, in that period if your pack gets some attention it will go up the list after that time it will start to go down this is because the amount of submissions being added is pretty large and it pushes other packs further down no matter how well they have done.
Then i think a ratio comes into play of views/downloads etc and there is some system that cycles and shifts packs around according to stats but i don't know exactly what it is and its that last bit and the title HOT list that is misleading.
Diamonds for Glendale, Chroma Hills, and SixtyGig. Favorited each of them as well.
Thanks everyone for all the diamonds and support. Although I still feel like a relative newcomer to the 'club' of published texture artists, you're all being super great to me. You'll probably never know just how much that means to me, especially with what's going on with my offline life. Thank you a thousand times over.

Noted.
Did exactly that. Thank you!
Yea, I could tell you were tired. You've earned those downloads, though. Hope they're all real.
I appreciate your support!
Also, Woo!!! I'm Number One! I'm Number One!
Yea, one wonders.
Statistical analysis is FUN!
Woo! I'm Number Two! I'm Number Two!
Yes... for now.

Yeah there is but its RIGHT at the bottom of the form no where near the site upload button
Going back to the stats, how does the daily downloads No. work? As i'm showing BIG numbers that i will need to tie up with my server stats later
