For some reason my game isnt showing on the hub... it shows under YOUR ACCOUNT but not in the hub none of the little boxes are checked so i dont know what did it

The only entry you have right now that's active is Super smash [sic] Brothers Extreme. If that's the one you're referring to, the problem is as Yota suggested: It will only appear in Unpublished until it's accepted to a public channel.

Your only other hub entries violated hub policy. One you've been told about before: giant files. Honestly I'm a bit surprised you made another such entry, inasmuch as we had previously discussed on the forums that Dantom's space is not unlimited and you were no longer to do this. If you want to offer a large icon pack, you'll have to find your own Web host who's willing to give you that much space and deal with the bandwidth issues involved. (And remember, you can't charge for fan icons like DBZ, Pokemon, etc. no matter what.)

The other entry was a game, which I'm guessing is the one you're referring to. It violated policy by charging for a fan game. In this case, you were offering houses in exchange for "donations". If this was an ordinary building game that'd be fine, but based on the rest of its description it's clearly out of the Dragonball universe, which means it isn't allowed to make you money.

Methinks this zenni debate is somewhat pointless, seeing as the policy (as far as I know) is to not allow charging for ANY fan game. Whether it be based on DBZ, Dragon Warrior, Megaman, or anything else.

But if it's just some generic currency with no relation to its other uses other than being a currency I don't see what the problem is unless it is indeed unique to a specific company/copyright holder. If I use gold pieces as a currency does that mean I'm using copyrighted material since AD&D uses gold pieces :P?

You may be right. I'm not personally familiar with the DBZ world or the term "zenni" so I didn't make that particular decision, nor can I make a further judgement on it. If it's a generic term that doesn't fall under any copyright or trademark, then I see no problem with it. However, if it's uniquely DBZ and can be considered their intellectual property in the eyes of the law, then we can't allow it to charge money through our system.

Since the term seems to only come from other existing well-known games, I think any use of zenni as currency falls into fan game territory. Anyway most of the entry's description was on par with that sort of thing, meaning the thing is really taken out of a conglomeration of fan game stuff.

AD&D didn't invent gold pieces, though, so they can't claim copyright over them.

That said, I don't know much about the extent of the term "zenni", so I don't know if the same principle applies or not.

Chances are though if a bunch of seperate companies are using the same term for currency without legal issues none of them hold a copyright to hold against the other companies. And I highly doubt a company would shell out a portion of their profits just to use a name for a currency :P.
