Though you have the best intentions I’m sure Dplax, it was putting him on the spot so to speak, Ziroc obviously makes no money out of this forum (in fact I guess he loses a HUGE amount) however he has put vast time and effort into the 'Ironworks' name over the years. Copyright is a very complex legal minefield and I would guess he has no other option but to carefully guard the use of the name Ironworks. Are you sure it is even OK to use the term IWunofficial? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] Why not just use the Dplax name and ditch the term IW altogether? Some other older members may remember the saga with Ironworks and Microsoft some years ago
Anyway good luck with it :D
