Wow, that's embarrassing. I created an administration view for collections, and in the process I accidentally set the permissions on all of the collections views to admin only. Sorry about that. The collections tabs are back now. I promise I didn't take them away deliberately. :)
@William: Don't worry about it. The fact that the response was so big proves that there's an immediate need, so I'm responding to that.
@Julius: I've had extensive email discussions on the CC community mailing list about that, and the fact is that even though I came up with (IMO) a reasonably effective way of doing this that would still be free software, they're so intent on the idea that it's impossible that it would never be accepted, and I'm not going to put up licenses that will never be accepted by the community, even if I happen to believe that they're valid. (OGA-BY is protected from this by clause 8g, which allows the work to be used under CC-BY, which is already an established license.) I'm done with that fight. If someone else wants to take it up for me, then by all means go for it. I'd love to see the license you're asking for, but outside of OGA, no one is remotely interested in entertaining the idea.
If you're interested in reading this (very long) discussion, you can find it archived on the web here:
I gave up when people started claiming (in all seriousness) that a word processor is meant to open a specific document, rather than as a tool for opening many documents.
I can't use OGA as the driving force behind getting the license accepted, because people who use the art here need to know that the licenses are already considered to be acceptable by the community at large.
I would contact them and ask to make sure that they didn't take the art down due to a licensing problem. (It's not clear to me why the art was deleted, but in the past people have taken art down because they did it on contract and didn't actually have the rights to distribute it.)
Provided there's no licensing issue, you're within your rights to use any work that you downloaded under the stated license, even if it was removed from OGA. That being said, out of respect for the artist, I'd strongly encourage you to ask them first.
Hehe, I have my hands full running this site, but I wish you the best. :)
Wow, that's pretty awesome. :)
Since they're cc0, pretty much anyone can upload them there. :)
Nice work. Not only spooky but also pretty intense.
I just wanted to say kudos to you for being able to post real results before you ask for an artist. :)
Also, your games look interesting. Do you have a link somewhere so I can try them out?

Nice work, thanks! :)

Here's the link to the artist's page:

The attribution instructions were:
"Credit me as "Tom Klovholt" and add a link to my portfolio: www.shadow-embryo.com"
I feel like there was a forum thread on creating FLARE assets ages ago, but it's probably buried deep in the past by now.
