Mod DataBase（或称Mod DB）是一个专注于电子游戏模组的网站，2002年由Scott "INtense!" Reismanis建立。[2]截至2015年9月，Mod DB已有超过604万次的访问，超过12500个登记在案的模组，[3]超过108万次的下载。[4]相关网站Indie DB在2010年上线，专注于独立游戏及其新闻。
目的
Mod DB的目的是收集各种游戏的模组、文件、教程与介绍等由用户创建的内容。Community involvement is strongly encouraged, and any game mod with a website is allowed to post a screenshot gallery, news, and requests for help. Scott's intentions, from the beginning, were to get the community heavily involved in the creation and development of the website. To this end, the most active members were chosen as moderators and administrators. The core staff generally remain the same, while lower positions are heavily rotated among trainee moderators, and administrator candidates. The site's staff mostly act as chaperones or librarians, keeping appropriate content available to the public and featuring the more exceptional content.
历史
Scott Reismanis在采访中说道“我的第一个网站是后来成为Gaminzone的Gamerzoned，然后是Chaosrealm和Modrealm”。[5] ModRealm被重构和改进以包括更多的开发工具；经过几个月的额外发展之后，此网站更名为ModDB。Reismanis自己编写了网站引擎的代码，这涵盖了所有与模组相关的内容。2002年6月，ModDB 1.0首次亮相，很快吸引了大量后来成为网站今天活跃的社区的基础的核心用户。2004年，网站的第二个版本上线，增加了许多新功能，网页也被重制了；第三版在2005年12月上线，再次重新设计了网页的界面。
在2006年10月6日，另一个由ModDB团队所创建的网站 Addon DB 对ModDB的注册用户开放公开测试。Addon DB's aim is to list additional content for game not applicable under the category of game modifications. This includes models, skins and maps. Following the creation of Addon DB, Scott Reismanis founded DBolical Pty Ltd. (formally DesuraNET), which subsequently acquired ownership of both Addon DB and Mod DB.
In September 2007 Mod DB changed and was overhauled to bring it up to version 4. This included integrating Addon DB into Mod DB. There were major enhancements like the ability to register a game rather than a mod as well as a better private messaging system.
In 2010 DBolical Pty Ltd. launched the "IndieDB" website dedicated to indie gaming.[6]
In 2011 Mod DB removed School Shooter: North American Tour 2012 after "receiving quite a bit of threatening mail as people believe we are the creators, supporters and makers of this content."[7]
年度模组
Mod DB的年度模组竞赛“金扳手奖”旨在评选富有创造力的、高质量的模组。评选是通过社区投票和工作人员的评测来得出最终结果，此竞赛旨在鼓励所有领域的（包括画质与游戏性在内的）模组开发。
