It's a perfect option for showcasing said mods and possibly short demos, but some files themselves would still need to be linked to the website since some mods could be too large for Discord, and not everyone can afford Nitro.
Maybe Sean could make a new channel in the ZeoWorks Discord server like "#mod-releases" where users with the Modder role can attach their mods and maybe attach short videos of what they do.
Besides modding, Noclip in Sandbox and Color Codes For Chat may also be some neat features in a future update of Guardian Collection (as mentioned before)
If Sean wants something more advanced, in the future he could possibly switch from MyBB to Xenforo on https://zeoworks.com
XenForo is advanced, and doubles as a Forum and a Mod Site (can do both easily)
XenForo does cost a bit of money, so this'll probably be a thing in the future but not right now.
As for XenForo, it is a powerful forum software, but it's heavier due to pulling more database queries and PHP resources, and it has a steep learning curve for webmasters and moderators who never had experience with said software. MyBB, on the other hand, is free, simpler to manage, easier to moderate, lightweight, and more flexible to customize with plugins and themes. Extra features can always be added to mybb if needed.
Other features you mentioned, like noclip in sandbox and color codes for chat, sound interesting and could be considered for a future update once the game is released!
Maybe in the future I could host an unofficial mod site
At the moment I'm busy with other projects, so maybe I'll make a mod site when it's the right time (when modding gets popular/starts to take off like you said)
But at the moment, modding/mod sites likely wont be a focus to me until Sean adds official Modding support in Guardian Collection.
If Plan A Fails, bake cookies.
