I love forge but I have to say finding forge mods are really hard... Mcport did a beautiful job in describing the mods and weather it was a server mod, but they have lost there way and its my understanding they have moved here...
Here's my suggestion:
Mod forum organized in 3 categories
1. Server mods/Plugins
2. Core mods - links to mods like redpower, forestry, ic2 buildcraft, because even though most of us who have been on the block a while know these mods I see new players everyday who have never heard of mine factory or forestry
3. Addon mods like nuclear control or extra bees, iron chest.
I have spend hours digging for a plugin to handle adding some kind of VIP perk even just change chat so a VIP donator could be recognized but found nothing on here the find figsu mods and searching it find on google it was on your site but I missed it. I run a forum for my server so I know the task is daunting but would be able to help if you need it.
