Sigs Linked to cyberstreet (old threads)

This Thread (in the Rules Forum) is still linked to cyberstreet, and I can't access it anymore. Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to recuperate the info so a new thread (linked to enworld.org/forums) may be created?

Thanks in advance...

That thread was removed by me earlier today; I emailed the original author. It's chock full of stuff (xp tables, etc.) not in the SRD, and thus isn't appropriate for these boards.

Oops sorry.

As I somewhat contributed to that thread, and had it linked in my sig for quite some time, could I ask if we got into some kind of trouble from having posted this particular thread, or was it removed as a precautionary measure?

If such matters shouldn't be discussed, a private message / email would suffice and be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

We're not in any legal trouble, so no worries about that. We're just making sure that we're both "good neighbors" and doing what's right.

I happened to stumble across it for the first time, and I couldn't help but notice that some (really useful!) off limits like xp tables had been posted in it. Since the thread was designed to hold things that weren't in the SRD, it was chock full of problems, and I decided that I was best off just removing the entire thread.

Sorry I didn't have a good way to let everyone know.

maybe he's hoping if someone tries to report his post they'll click his link instead and be sent to the main page.

Probably.

Hehe. I can see a Meta thread coming:

'Hey Morrus! Those Reported Post links are broken! Please fix them so I can report that one nasty dude!'

hehe thanks, but it doesn't even work, since the font type/size in the sig doesn't match the real "Report post" font type.

As for the subject at hand, would it be a problem if I linked a personal page that contained the various tables that were in the removed thread in my sig?

I'd bet that if it's not appropriate for these boards, it's also not appropriate to link to them elsewhere.

I understand that ENWorld doesn't want to take the risk of hosting non-OGL material, but what if it is an individual who takes that "risk"?

Anyways, I'll reactivate my sig link with the little, very ugly, page I mage, and if there's any trouble, don't hesitate dropping me a line...
