Well, if it's already done, all TtheDragon needs to do is post it. All I've done is apply flowertheif's patch!
I meant yours as in what you've made when you finished it, Marrend.

Actually, I fixed Yuu already~
I did, A looong time ago.
It was really fustrating; I had to rename the text file, create a new profile, and redo all the information about Yuu. I can't believe I sat through all that.

Don't just talk about it, then. If it's finished, show. We'll see if it beats Marrend's to it.

I can adopt/fix Yuu. Just don't expect me to do anything about her until I clear off Fran!
Thanks!:D Big burden off of me, I have no idea how to fix the inconsistency in the damn thing!

author=flowerthiefThank you and understood!:D I won't let you down!
@Dozen
It would certainly be all right with me! I think authors building off of work done by other authors is in keeping with the spirit of things. When you upload it to the website it will be separate from dude797's package, which is only fair to dude797 who isn't around to approve.

Oh btw, Dozen, I think you should apply those fixes to Lambaria Yuu that I mentioned back in this discussion so that you can update the finished content page with a working version.
On that... who will adopt Yuu?
...
Why do I feel like everybody is pointing at me?

*Edit 2: I should review 21 Ways and Watanabe Junko at some point...
I'd be happy to adopt 21 and finish her route. Can I call dibs?
Content creation (technical)
I've been wondering... What does a proclivity level of 'E' do? I haven't seen it anywhere, and Help.html never mentions it.

@Dozen

edit: (since Dozen posted just before me)
I'm not sure I understood the Deviantart comparison. Is there something wrong with Deviantart?
Bluntly put? Yes. On DeviantArt you can find the best freelancer artists on the internet, and ten times as much degenerates, idiots and subpar artists who never improve because they are encouraged by the former two, which in certain circles has (undeservingly) lowered the community's reputation - granted, it doesn't make any sense, but when it comes to how they feel, people don't give a damn about sense. We could say that we don't want the easily influenced around, of course... and alienate 20-70% of the planet.
Just take a look at KS! We all know it is not what it sounds like because we hear people say it's not what it damn sounds like, and nobody would take their time to tell you that if it was a bad game. They had a horrible premise(that is, a game about dating disabled girls with a dev team handpicked from otakus, Deviants and 4chan boarders) but word of mouth in itself has achieved what marketing proffessionals usually just dream of - everyone in the target audience has heard of them by now, and all they hear is positive, because the game is just that good. And Four Leaf published it, a freeware indie game, in January. This year.
With this I'm only saying that Four Leaf is awesome, not that everyone who has heard about Heartache should rupture their vocal chords with a fansquee. But most can never achieve the quality they thrive for, simply because nobody ever could wish realistically for anything - all you need is a bad mindset. In that case any result usually ends up about half as good as intended. At best. So if we say our work should be 'kinda fine', we might as well could drop the Medium Girl template and draw doodles for tachies.

author=MarrendI maintained contact with LordNight so far. He's merely busy with school and should come back to work when he has time. I can't say the same about Triad, but if anyone has to worry about his content's well being, it's me. I've made a promise to fix and enchance his packs; it is entirely my responsibility. I will also adopt his work, should he not come back.
I was aware that the "Midori" content was written by someone who did not have the best grasp of the English language. Seira? Well, I can't say I knew about that, but I think I might have suspected.
Anyway, we usually ask authors to fix up their own content. Thing is, LordNight (the maker of "Midori") is one of those people who we have had an unfortunate lack of communication with. As for triad (the maker of Seira), I can't say I've heard from him lately either. Which worries me, somewhat.
So, what am I getting at? Well, basically, what I want to know is how responsible are active authors are to content of authors who seem/are inactive? Actually, it might be more important to ask how would we even determine which authors are active/inactive?
I'd like to point out that these errors, mistakes and other shameful matters are the reason you cannot see LordNight's and Triad's handiwork on RMN's Finished Content page. The quantity over quality policy forbids us to refuse anyone's uploads however, which is why the official website allows pretty much anything, even unfinished or subpar content which is not simply pointless, but demeaning to us as a community(Seriously, people, what were you thinking?-.-). Flowerthief, since we reached the point where our users are complaining, we should put at least a cursory effort into examining custom content before it becomes accessible. This may be harsh, but I honestly say that if this goes on, we might become the VN-slash-RPG equalient of DeviantArt where picking a content pack to download amounts to Russian Roulette, the only difference being who the gun is pointed at.
As for active and inactive users, I propose that those who have not been seen on the forums for as much as the longest period of time as they spent contributing(a new period starts after a week of absence), are thereafter considered inactive and their work adoptable, should it not meet standards or is not finished. Also, an author can assign another to take care of the former's content in times to come. This of course requires the approval of the latter and the credit for it is divided fairly(which does not mean evenly) between the two, to avoid people rushing in with an idea, waltzing out and having us do the work for them.
