I think what he's asking is why isn't there a procedure in place to take over a mod when the author disappears? I have no good answer for that. Even copyrights expire at some point. But release a mod on vb.org and drop dead and nobody is ever allowed to do anything with it. Thus we have mods like this with 42 pages of people asking the same question over and over again.
At the very least we should be able to get a moderator to alter the text in the first post, if only to remove the link to the non-working version.
PS A note to all mod authors: Please always mark your code as "reusable" so this doesn't happen to us with your mods.
