Multiple authors have asked for their mods to be removed, I only know of sengir and covertjaguar right now but Im sure I could quickly google a few more, forestry was not removed when he asked so sengir added some code to prevent it from being able to be run in technicpack. Railcraft still hasnt been removed and a technic admin said the same thing about donations, a mod author said "Still waiting for the outpouring donations too. All I've gotten so far is clueless Technic users looking for support." and actually the admins have given written proof that they do not have permission, a technic admin said "We don't ask permission, we still don't. The permission has been given to us through various means, usually after people find out that we aren't assholes and that we truly and honestly love the mods and appreciate the creators. The reason we don't bother saying anything about it (usually) is because we don't want to cause drama between the modders themselves if we can help it. " Starting to think of scrapping this post and putting it in a less biased environment
