               The quantity and quality of work CODI was able to produce(released & unreleased) so many years ago in a relatively short period of time.  It was like some modeling god appeared on earth, then ascended into the clouds, never to be seen again.

The Customize Character, Lilith, The OHS, Leto, the ACP, Ascadia's Complete Clothing, Lisa's everything... Like I said, so many... '-_-'

I'm going to throw NWNx, Lilac Soul's Script Generator, and CEP on there.

               Well, if you throw in CEP, you should also add Project Q, maybe CTP, too? Others?
And how about sites, which (still) help to keep this going, like the vault, CTP (hosted by The Harvest Moon Consortium), someone made the DLA-forum available (don't have the link ATM, but I can dig it up, if wanted), ...(maybe this should be another award)?

               I have no issues adding anything to the list.  The only thing I want to make sure is that, in the spirit of the idea, it be something that in your opinion has been one of the greatest community-driven content achievements over the past 10 years.  Be it a tool, a script, a mod, a model, a system....no holds barred.  

Subdividing into categories requires subjective distinctions on what is a "tool" or what is a "system" and I'd rather not get into those discussions.  

I'll add the ones from your list.  Thanks!

               I personally find it a bit difficult to vote a top, cause, IMO, this still is alive, because it is all dependent on each other. For me: Projects inspirering input. I would not be into CC without certain tools, who help me to get things CCed. The tools alone didn't do it. Without the forums/community-support, I would probably have given up a long time ago.
But true, categories requires distinctions. And you do the poll. '<img'>

And I have another suggestion: DMFI

As for CTP: Please devide it into the CC-content itself and the forum (which contains tons of tutorials/helpful tips).
As for the DLA-forums: They are hosted by TBotR and to be found here: http://dla.tbotr.com/modules.php

               Will do.  Thanks for clarifying.  I agree wholeheartedly with your post.  Things are interconnected and while we can look back and see what the community has done, we still may see the best in the future.  I will update the list.
