We have been using Mod Center since September now and it really is a great tool for mod teams. Unlike sites such as moddb, Mod Center offers the management tools every team needs to suceed. This site has been designed from the ground up to be your one-stop resource for all your game development needs.

As a lead developer on the Mare Nostrum team I know that one of, if not the hardest part of managing a team is being able to organize members, keep good team communication and keep track of tasks and code. Without the proper resources, a team with great potential and ideas can become stuck in a rut of inefficiency, lack of progress and overall loss of team morale.

 Here are just a few of the plethora of tools they have to offer:

• Highly-customizable bug-tracking systems
• Server space to host your game's development files such as source code, models and textures
• A fully customizable, public and private wiki system that you can mold to suit your team's needs
• A comprehensive file release system, which in conjunction with FilePlanet can bring the maximum amount of players and attention to your released mod
• Team-specific discussion forums that are fully-integrated with the bug-tracker, file release system and all other tools on our site
• Full ability to participate in most site actions via e-mail (editing/updating bug trackers, discussion threads, etc)
• Much, much more!

ModCenter is built off of the SourceForge software platform, which is designed to cater to high-profile software developers. The difference with Mod Center is that they have designed it to be specific to game developers. Why spend effort juggling multitudes of third-party programs like bug tracking systems, forums and hosting space (which aren't even geared specifically towards game developers) when you have them all in a neat bundle for free?
