[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 100812, member: 4"] Yes but oddly enough as times changed and my role changed it became the least important (to me) part of my site. The Errata Center and keeping up with news certainly grew to take a more important role in my mind. I think WotC could have bought themselves some good grace and made this all logistically doable if they a) had dropped Morrus a line and asked him to look for files that clearly went over the line (some of the module conversions DID have a lot more than just stats converted) and have those yanked until they can be fixed, b) had a "grandfather clause" indicating that whatever is up there is up there and that's fine (except of course for the ones that had more than stats converted, as in "a" above), the new rules are for *future conversion efforts*, and c) didn't entangle fan creations/conversions with the d20 license and/or OGL. If I were Morrus and were in this position, I'd just say "screw it, conversion library's closed" and forget about it. Someone else at some other site will pick up that slack if they have a lot of spare time on their hands; or more likely conversions will become things traded under the table or in ones and twos on a variety of websites.
