    The BeamNG website should have a features row for the best mods of the month like the Blender Artist website has for best art: (picture)

    This is actually a decent idea. It would be a little weird at first but I could get used to it.

    Of course, you have to make your "contribution"...

    Imo it should be updated at whatever rate the "featured content" would come out. I don't think anyone would care if the same content was up there for ~2 weeks or maybe even a month.

    this is a good idea as it would lead guests to the best content but then at the same time people would try to get their mod on the features row

    it should be done by number of likes and by dev recommendation.

    The features row would also give incentive for creativity, I hate seeing some the best mods buried in with a host of mediocre mods, there needs to be a way to separate the extraordinary from the ordinary.

    If this happens I'd prefer it to be non-intrusive and small, as too not look sloppy, I think many could agree we wouldn't need pictures as big as the ones used to show off the works of art in blender.

    the features row on Blender doesn't look intrusive to me, but that's my opinion or personal preference, there should be a poll or something on the picture size or something, to get an idea of what the people want. I'd say 3/4 the size of the blender artist example would be good.

    This would be great idea, i often miss new mods because they either don't stand out or show up when i am looking at whats new.
