So hey, for a while now some of my quests have been hosted on the zeldaclassic.com database without my permission. These are Freedom in Chains, Hollow Forest, and (it recently came to my attention) Capture the Flag. This was mentioned to me in the past and I shrugged it off because I'm typically in favor of keeping extra archives of quests. Now I have two of these quests hosted on PureZC with some updates and bugfixes, so the versions here are outdated. The third quest, Capture the Flag, features some stuff I now find objectionable and I don't really want it rehosted at all. I have no idea how to push updates on this site or even if the quests in question are linked to my account in any way. Think the easiest solution would just be to remove all three. At the very least I would like Capture the Flag taken down.
There's also one more other submission, The Random Header which is incorrectly attributed to me but was actually made by LinktheMaster and Nick.
I don't have any reliable contacts within the AGN space and the site has fallen into such disrepair that I don't trust the contact form to work, so I'm just kinda awkwardly posting this out in the open in hopes someone sees and can relay it to someone who can address it. Thanks.

For the third quest can you not edit the quest and re-post a "clean" version on PureZC? As you pointout, AGN has pretty much abandoned ZC and you may not have any easy recourse anymore here.
Yeah I figured as much. Normally I would repost the quest with changes as you suggested, but it's a short enough quest that changing the stuff I object to might as well be changing the whole thing. It was originally made in 24 hours for a quest contest.
I guess if AGN truly has abandoned ZC it's fitting that one of the last posts on this forum is gonna be me complaining that my work was rehosted without my permission and that I no longer have control over it. It's like poetry, it rhymes.
Seems there's been a bit more activity here since I last posted, so I figured I'd make the request again. This is not just a bit or a retaliatory thing, I would really like these files taken down (or in the case of FiC and HF potentially updated to match the updated versions currently on PureZC).
Once again the files are:
Capture the Flag: https://www.zeldaclassic.com/resource-listing/entry/493/
Freedom in Chains: https://www.zeldaclassic.com/resource-listing/entry/371/
Hollow Forest: https://www.zeldaclassic.com/resource-listing/entry/489/
theRandomHeader (wrongly attributed): https://www.zeldaclassic.com/resource-listing/entry/415/
Would appreciate if someone with access to the ZeldaClassic.com database would take care of this. Or at the very least if someone with connections would acknowledge this post in some way. I would accept a refusal to take down the files, but until that point I'll just keep checking in I suppose.
