Suggestion: Add a dedicated section to the download section for WordPress Themes and Plugins

Festinger said:

I do not have time to go through 3400+ threads to see if there is a new update available. That's why I created a thread a while ago (couldn't find it now) to ask people to mention me in these threads, so I can get an alert.
Also, in the previous WP themes and plugins download threads, I used Mega.nz to ensure the download will not be removed, but due a DMCA notice and takedown, 2400 items have been removed then.
If you find a file sharing host that allows me to upload it permanently - it will be available for always to the BHW members. I am not going to invest a lot of money (and time) to keep track of every single download posted here.
So if users want an upgrade, you can tag me and if I have some free time, I'm happy to upload it.

Hey all,

At the beginning of this year I have uploaded the whole directory of my collection of WordPress themes and plugins to the download section of BlackHatWorld. The download section is an engaging section of the forum, but with the amount downloads, it feels like a chicken coop. I receive approximately 20 update requests per day from users of this forum and it's hard to pick them, as the majority of the plugins have been posted in the 'download section' and the themes in the 'templates section'.

This suggestion has been made a few months before by a few different members:

The requirements are:

All new sections on BHW require at least 50 recent, engaged threads on the topic, written by 25 different users.

These must have been posted in the last 3 months and must have more than 10 reasonable responses to an opening post of more than 250 words.

If you can gather these 50+ threads together and share them with mods or admin, we can look into creating the new sub-forum and if you're interested and knowledgeable in the sector we'd open up discussions with you about moderating it.

Based on the requirements above, you can check all the engagement threads in the download section:

I would like to make two suggestions:

1. A dedicated sub-forum for WordPress themes in the download section.
2. A dedicated sub-forum for WordPress items in the download section.

This makes it easier to me to update some items per day and for users it will be much better to navigate and search for their WordPress plugin or theme.
Also, I didn't make this suggestion to market my WordPress Vault - I have been contributing since 2017 with free WordPress items to BHW - and I'd like to make the above suggestions to post even more updates on a daily base.

Just my 2 cents.
