PPM is not just a site of projects, it holds a community and works in order to provides several services to improve it. The reason is simple: Why would we work on mods where people wouldn't download or even know of? And also, we know that, by improving a community, we learn with them, they learn with us and the overall quality of future mods, maps, graphics and utilities for the games we support will improving its replayability. PPM provides the following services:
- Basic Modding Support: The Editing Forums are forums where modders help each other with answers for doubts, solutions for problems and also basic modding discussion.
- Research Forums: Research Center are forums for registered people only where modders starts researchs on things which were not enough explored publicly around. Researchs includes brainstorming and tests until the objective is reached or it reachs a stalemate. It's a great place to learn deep information on modding, but modders learn much more when they participate. The results become available for everyone.
- Tutorials: Tutorial Forums are places where registered members share their knowledge with all visitors by posting tutorials, guides that helps people to learn more modding tricks.

--> Open Map Competition: This is the main event that PPM organizes, now with many other C&C sites, and contestants are able to submit one map for Tiberian Sun/Firestorm, Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge and one for Generals/Zero Hour. The last edition was hosted at CnCCommunity.net and sponsored by Electronic Arts.
--> PPM Animation Contest: On this event, contestants submit their animations for weaponry and warheads. The animation is launched by the weapon or the death of a unit. In the end, we provide a mod that contains all the submited animations that works as a good example on how to make these things.
--> 'PPM Plays': This event is set randomly and usually in a weekend. PPM invites everyone to play a released hosted mod on the XWIS server.
--> 'Best Of': This event is a set of polls where the community votes for the most popular mod released in the year on several categories. In 2004, the winner was Tiberian Sun: Total War 1.05.
We may also promote any other event in a random day and we usually cover events from friendly sites with news.
