Hello. Thank you for your reaching out!

I am aware of this happening as someone has brought up the concern of uploading sprites that were directly ripped from Ice Scream.

I would like to preface this: DSP has allowed us to reupload images. That is true, no doubt. However as we discussed about it in the wiki's Discord server, there is concerning doubt with regards to sprites, since these assets may not be accessed through normal means. I personally thought that it may be disrespectful towards DSP when we just give away all the assets for everyone to access which isn't the normal case. Now, I am fully aware of the pre-existing sprites before you uploaded the ones you added. With that however, we are now at a crossroads: to either actually upload sprites or not.

There is only one way to settle it, and it's to contact DSP herself. We have attempted to try and reach out to her and hope to get a response. The takedowns were done temporarily while we play the waiting game.

The worst case scenario is, of course, DSP not allowing us to have these sprites up, meaning we have to take ALL sprites down that directly came from the game files.

On the positive side, which is the thing we're hoping for, is the case where DSP does allow us to upload sprites. If this is the case however, we wanted Okegom Wiki to only host the base form of sprites, and the other wikis will host the detailed ones.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused as well as the lack of transparency of the reason for the takedowns. I hope this clarifies it. If you have any other questions about the topic, please don't be hesitant to bring them up. Thank you!
