As they took Draggin' Ballz 4k off the list following discussion that it was obviously a parody (they didn't apparently know this), there was certainly some questions asked and some discussion.

one more question:What is the extent of the use of dbz we can use in our src.Like are we allowed to use pictures in our src..lol

You can't use anything even remotely DB/DBZ/DBGT/Funimation-anime related.

Can my key still be Super Saiyan X? Or will the BYOND Database be eaten by FUNimation?

In response to Super Saiyan X
I'm using a Lisp injection I wrote in COBOL using an Ada compiler to DDoS the BYOND database as we speak to delete your key.

It's okay SSX, I'm going to reroute the encryptions and reverse the hash matrix so that LordAndrew can't locate your key's hashtag.

I was here before the DBZ outbreak. It was awesome. I remember GoB weekends. :D

"Gathering of Byond"

We'd pick a game and almost EVERYONE would play it.

This link must get a lot of traffic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Fair_use#Common_misunderstandings
(Specifically, "Noncommercial use is invariably fair")

Also, the company could potentially argue that BYOND makes money off of memberships from players who frequent the infringing games.

Regardless, it was a potential legal hurricane that BYOND didn't have the money or time to handle, so it did the only sane thing and followed the C&D requests.

If you would like to take your chances in court, you can advertise your game on your own website and take the legal liability yourself.

I'm going to lock this topic; everything that can be said has been said already.

No games based on, referencing, inspired by or derived from any property owned by FUNimation or a subsidiary company of FUNimation are permitted due to past legal action by FUNimation.
