News & Announcements

Hey all, I just wanted to let you know there are still a lot of things happening behind the scenes. Lately I've been really sick (strep throat / bronchitis) so I have been sleeping a lot. Fortunately, I get to work at home so I haven't missed any work. Our devs are still working on the future of CustomsForge and we're in the process of creating new and exciting features. We will release an update later this month on more details. While I was sick I forgot about a very important renewal. Please note several of our services use this service and we need to pay it by the 19th to avoid service interruption. http://customsforge.com/donate/goal-14-emergency-renewal/ Edit:…

I've been hearing several reports of people having more and more issues with Mediafire.- Popups *Even with Adblock*- Download limits- Captcha's - Broken files. and more.If more people are experiencing any issues while using Mediafire to download CDLC please post so here.Thank you. Just to clarify, we are not persecuting people who use mediafire, this is purely to find out how many people are experiencing (and aren't) problems with mediafire. (Contributed by The Troglodyte)

Hello all,We've moved away from Mumble and to a new Teamspeak 3 server. Please download and install a copy of Teamspeak 3 via: http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloadsThe server information: customsforge.typefrag.com:4290Please use your CustomsForge username so we can recognize you. The rules still apply there, and please do not impersonate anyone as that is a bannable offence.

It's sad this has to be said but with the influx of these types, something's gotta be done. Just because I joke with the people in chat does not mean I will hesitate show any authority, same goes for other mods and admins. Some people have taken that friendliness we show in chat to mean they can overstep boundaries and make themselves too comfortable. I personally joke with others in chat because they've been around for a while and they proved themselves to be great people that I can talk to - and the assholes get weeded out fast. If you start catty bullshit, you can be sure my friendly demeanor goes right out the window and I will act as admin of this site, as will the o…

Hello,We are now taking votes on releasing an CDLC approved area. mini-faq: What does this mean? If the votes equal "YES", we would launch a new CDLC area for APPROVED CDLC's only. This means the CDLC will have everything finished, and tested by the community. This would include: Lead, Rhythm, Bass, Vocals, Custom Tones, Synced up, RR And optional DD. (NO issues) (exception is if one of the Arrangement types isn't available for the song)​Additionally, you would need the appropriate album artwork, title, and everything else So like SA's old system, right? Similar yes, but better executed. All of the "approved" CDLCs would have to be 100% finished, in the correct format, …

As some of you may have noticed. A couple of hours ago several CDLC were removed from the database. These were all CDLC uploaded by the same user. The reason for the removal of these is quite simple. He did not create them.Reports were made about his CDLC so several staff members investigated the issue. They concluded that this were indeed CDLC created by someone else.This was the third time for that user, he ignored the warnings that were given to him. So that user is banned now.Notice Every report made on this subject will be investigated.Do not upload CDLC that is not created by yourself. Only when you have the permission of the original creator and you can show proof …

Hey all, I see that there are a few unfortunate rotten eggs out there trying to cause problems here. Please read rule #3 [*]No trolling, spamming, advertising, or other general douchebaggery.

We're trying to provide a creative and fun environment for CDLC creators and rocksmith players. You will be warned a few times before a permanent ban. Please do not let it come to that. This forum is a place to learn how to make customs, post customs, and download customs for Rocksmith…

Hello everyone,I wanted to keep everyone in the loop of what's currently happening. 1. We have a custom skin being worked on. Right now the order has been processed, we're just waiting on receiving it. 2. We've purchased a new chat system that can hold up to 50 users. This will take over the shoutbox. Unfortunately it doesn't look as nice as the shoutbox, but we will mod it to make it look better (if possible) 3. We're working with RSCDLC.com. He will begin development on the new search system that will be hosted here soon. Our search system will be awesome and hosted at search.customsforge.com 4. We're also working on modifying the download system. I've contacted a few…
