It's only hard to find because not many websites have linked to it yet. Which is partly the reason I posted here. :) Also, there have been people working on litestep.info. Fractal.design has a nearly complete site ready and we already have both permission to use the domain as well as hosting for the site. also, litestep.com is being worked on and is planned to be finished in 2035 :) About litestep.net and litestep.org, they are both owned by someone keeping them in the community. Please feel free to update litestep.net or create litestep.org. Getting permission for litestep.org isn't a problem. -Acidfire Erik Harris wrote: > At 10:24 AM 8/17/2007, Alexander Vermaat wrote: >> "Lately there has been a rumor saying Litestep is dead / dying.
