Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
Since original author myrddin8@gmail.com has not had an issue with forks like yours (see screenshot below), I am operating under the assumption that they are okay with forks that keep the software operating. I only plan to do maintenance work, critical bug fixing but no functional modifications.
However, I am happy to respond to and comply with requests from the original author myrddin8@gmail.com. Best Regards
This is NOT a “fork.” We have been upkeeping V.S.P. since 2011. Myrddin has been unreachable since 2008! Therefor leaving this project abandoned. I have been with this project since 2004, shortly after it’s initial release, so I took it upon myself to take over V.S.P. being as I have been keeping it up-to-date since! Because the original author is UNREACHABLE for unknown reasons I am next in line with this project. We can do this the hard way if you wish!?
Formally!

This is a request to remove quake3-vsp-stats due to miss match. Within the past two months a released v0.50 has been in the works and has been released 2/28/2021 at 11:45 PM . If you would like to contribute to V.S.P. our forums are open. I tried to get our project on here, but could not get the "pub" folder on here so I gave up on it.
