History
The Mod Archive was established in 1996 as a place for tracker artists to upload their work. Since then, the site has emerged into being a community for artists and module enthusiasts.
In an effort to make the web site more dynamic, the community part of the site was added around 2000, in the form of message boards and an indexed search engine. Having lacked proper maintenance since around 2004, however, the site went through a complete reimplementation, beginning in November 2005 and leaving private beta in August 2006. In 2007, the site moved onto dedicated hardware to cope with a sudden increase in popularity following these improvements.
Since 2006, the site has also provided a method of doing bulk downloads of archive files via BitTorrent.
