    Forking a repo is not the same as developing it. Any idiot can rehost the existing source code, but all the developers with knowledge of the code base and project just got axed by Nintendo.

      Yeah, lots of people forked it. But most are laying low at the moment. This one probably won’t last long.

      Edit: “Contribute to Nikilites/nuzu development by creating an account on GitHub.” Now it kind of sounds like a honeypot.

          Yep, and if they’re not behind 10 vpns and a randomly generated username then they’re going to get sued into oblivion before close of business Friday

    I hate to be that guy, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything to this fork. At least a few links in the README don’t work, and the domain for the “email” is actively for sale. The owner of the repository doesn’t seem to have any real previous projects on their GitHub account.

    I can understand that it’s a new fork, but in my mind you’d want to at least make sure the Readme is… passable before you spread the word and make a Patreon for the project.

    EDIT: The Patreon link has been removed since I made this comment. I’m still incredibly skeptical of the project though

      I would say don’t make a freaking patreon for it. You know what companies hate even more than people using thier IPs? Getting money while doing it.
