I'm in a dilemma on this one as I would like to incorporate a mod made by a forum member who seems to be unreachable now.
As you'll no doubt be aware, when even considering your short time here, THIS CAN BE A MINEFIELD
One tip I would offer would be to ensure that you can demonstrate you have taken every reasonable step to contact the originator of said mod.
Whether you save or archive your PM's and/or emails is up to you.....but keep a reference should the unthinkable occur
This is gold advice and sadly so so true
