    Well I am here and up at the ready. I was wondering if I could adopt the Mario theme? I really am a hardcore Mario fan and I would love to see a mafia theme be an integral part of our mafia channel. I don't even know if it is possible to adopt a theme so I come before you MA to see what I can do!

    Well, i adopted the fim theme just some day ago, if the owner of that theme is absent from a great amount of time, you can adopt it without problema i guess.

    Well the owner of the theme is Black Mage and he I know him semi-personally and he rarely comes on Pokémon Online server so I am sure he would allow me to adopt ownership right?

    So does any other MA/QC have opinion on this besides Obey to Kyubey?

    If you plan on using BM's theme, you should try to talk to him first. If you just want to make a different Mario theme, I don't see why you need to ask for permission since no one owns that theme name right now.

    If I were to make a Mario theme, I would have to borrow a few features from Black Mage's theme. Would that be OK alone or would I have to ask for the rights to do that...... :confused:

    Is it me or are people stalking this thread?

    I was planning to make a Mario & Luigi theme (Superstar Saga-Dream Team etc.) but I guess that's kinda different?

    But even if it wasn't a spin-off theme you wouldn't need to ask for "rights" to a theme
    Let me put it this way
    It's like if somebody invented something but didn't patent it and you made something that does the same thing in a different way and patented it, there's no... Rule-breaking there
