Yes, if things don't work out here - I'll be moving my entire archive over to Warcraft Underground.

While I don't like that it has like-- no rules - Underground is still better than a death sentence for the project

You don’t understand? Well let me explain it. We have a written agreement with Blizzard Entertainment about NOT hosting assets from other games except Blizzard games. And like I said before, we are currently in contact with Blizzard to clarify this issue. HerrDave decided to remove his resources on his own. The lengths we are willing to go to to make sure @HerrDave resources (and any other members assets for that matter) are legal and considered fair use so that we may host them here for everyone’s benefit and joy. Your patience and understanding is appreciated and encouraged.

@Archian, Thank you for your explanation and desire to bring the situation to a consensus as much as possible.
I hope first message didn't sound rude to you.
I think I can only express the hope that everything will end safely and Blizzard will make the right decision.

At best, my work is an act of preservation - which is what I intended it to be

At worst, it is a parody

Either way, I refuse to accept money for the models.
In the eyes of the law, I am doing nothing wrong, and neither is the Hive for hosting my work.

Blizzard has as much of a claim on War of the Ring as I do to a castle in Spain.
