Nice job with the petition! Probably you could bold Harakou's name because he's already a mod.
I tried to edit the Pacman wikipedia article and made a section about the Scratch DMCA notice issue, but then they removed it. *angry face xD*
Ah, I should go ahead and do that. ^^
O.o, who removed your wiki edit?

Best to add it to the discussion page first. Or now ask why they took it down.

Please take me off the list.

Nobody. It's still there. (Last paragraph.)

Hehe! I emailed a bunch of people, and this is what my friend said (he lives in China and likes the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious):
I also think that Namco is very supercalifragilisticexpialidociously STUPID!
I'm sorry, but my friends in China have no idea what it means.
I'm not sure, but with Shoop-da-woops in USA, Dragons in China, and Harry Potter in England, we can demolish the stupid should be in jail Namco!
say sorry to 124scratch for me.

Wikipedia is very picky at what you feed it.

Who knows what the personal reason may be? Maybe they gave up in the cause for Fair Use since the issue is about a year old. Or maybe they sided with Namco for some reason. Or it could be something else, but I guess that's delving into too much; after all personal reasons for no longer supporting this cause varies from Scratcher to Scratcher.

As much as that would be awesome, I think that might be a bit unfair. Maybe you could get find 5 people to sign the petition instead?

i wanted to be un-signed because it's stupid. Namco took IT down and not all the others is probably because they didn't have time to write a billion DMCA notices, or they just didn't think there were that many. the Flash copies were made by Namco and other people copied the code. Pacman is Na's by law. it is fair for them to this.

Hello, all supporters of Project Pac-man. Today, I bring you some sad news. As of 6PM Scratch Time, on 11/22/11, I am ending the petition and efforts of Project Pac-man. I thank you all for your efforts.
I remember the day I read that 124scratch's project had been taken down for copyright reasons. I started this petition, expecting, at most, ten or twenty signatures, if I was lucky. This has exceeded my expectations and I'm sorry I have to let it go. However, I have a variable homework load, and a tight schedule. When I'm on, this is always closed due to a lack of postings. I thanks the moderators who helped update this throughout the past few months. I'd like to keep this topic open for a little while, just so people can post their opinions on the termination of the project. Once again, I'm sorry to have to let this go. If anybody is interested in carrying on the legacy of the project, I will post the code for the topic post. This project would be impossible without the help of so many people, and to all of those people, the credit for the project goes.
Sincerely, Wave.
The code:
Originally named "Petition to get the Pac-Man project back online!"... A big thanks to cheddargirl for updating this! :D Note to self: [recount thread to make sure about number of petitioners] Who here thinks that what NAMCO did is COMPLETELY unfair and that the project should be put back online, along with an apology to the user?

Well, some Flash copies may have got permission from NAMCO, but its not really fair....
Anyway, why am I still posting on this thread?
