Getting back to the original post.....are we all here? The older clothing for Vicky Three and Four is still great and surpasses the wardrobe offered for all of the genesis girls together. dforce, as buggy, half-implemented as it is, allows the terrific older fashions to be used on all the newer girls, and the new ladies sure do appreciate it. My girls are not into the new wave of sci-fi and fantasy weirdness. There are places where fans of all this old stuff hang out but linking to them, possibly even mentioning them will get me banned...again. It's not up to Rendo to keep these items here. When the content creator moves on or drops out, he/she takes their items with them making them NLA (No Longer Available). We need a determination similar to what the gamers pushed through. When a game is no longer supported by the publisher, AND a certain amount of time has lapsed, the game is deemed to be in the public domain and fans are welcome to it.

I think that only works for games because the original copyright owners don't have any financial incentive to stop it. In some cases the original owners GPL or public domain the works themselves simply because it would be too expensive to bring the game up to date and sell it profitably. You could probably get away with doing that with some no longer supported items for the same reasons, that of course would be severely frowned upon here for obvious reasons. Legally however, if the original copyright owner wants to take you to court over it, and has not released the copyrights, you wouldn't have a legal leg to stand on. And that includes games.
