I want to make a database that contains original characters, stages, ect. Do I need the creators permission to link there site on mine?
No really. The one thing you shouldn't do is direct link to the page that has the character or the download. I mean the maker of the site and the creator went through the trouble of making their stuff the least people can do is read what they have to say.
Yeah, pretty much what Shamrock said. It's ok to link to sites, just don't direct link, that's just rude.
And make sure you check those links regularly, because sites ALWAYS go down. I mean, just look at mugen-wiki....Well, look at it when it was online.
pkeffect hasn't been online for three weeks and didn't say anything about disappearing for the brief period of time he was on when he left.Do damn wish he would have said something. If he gave up (or server bust or whatever), I'd still need his wiki back-up and a new host or I would have to partially restart from the only tables I have, and manually re-insert all of the few pages I had from before... sigh.
the strange thing, is that the site doesn't look like it was closed or something, so maybe it truly it's a server problem...that, or the server was not paid off and ceased working (for the wiki)
