VFORG Theme - Can we still use it?
I had noticed somewhere here in the forum asking for the VFORG theme, and some replying that the theme CAN be actually used, but with different images (these ones are copyrighted, I get it).
I actually love this theme, and found it here: https://github.com/PCTipsGR/community/tree/master/themes/vforg , however it seems like it is an older version of it.
What I am asking is:
- Is there any developer who is working on it and has free time to update it?
- Are the files (except about.php and default.master.php which names have changed) still the same, with same names and no more files, so someone like me could just copy the source from visiting the files in his browser and downloading them all one-by-one?
- And last thing, would I be allowed to do step 2 by just using another images?
Thanks to y'all.

this is the latest
https://github.com/vanilla/community/tree/master/themes/vforg
why do you want to look like vf.org?
grep is your friend.
I am sure it is not the latest, because I tried it on 2.6.3 and it did not work (unless the developers here use an older version of Vanilla), and the screenshot also showcases a theme whih looks slightly different.
I may be wrong though, and in that case I wont be able to do anything
, because I have no idea how to make it work on 2.6.3
Also, I just love the theme and would like to test it live on my forum, that is why I asked this question.
it is the latest public release.

Whatever is in that repo is what's deployed to this site. There's no secret fork.
There are a bunch of other bespoke addons & Pockets on this site too that can effect appearance. It's a bit of a tangle.
Well, as a matter of fact, I installed it on my personal forum, applied it as current theme and well.. you see the results. Forum broken.
Vanilla version: 2.6.4, PHP version: 7.1
If anyone wants to help and needs an account/even FTP access for the forum only to check it out I can provide that. It has no content in it than the default posts anyway.
Thing is just becuase soemthign is released doen't mean that support is offered. It may be be but no guarantee, and no guarantee to the level of support.

open.vanillaforums.com doesn't use Vanilla version 2.6.4. The version used here is some steps ahead of 2.6.4 and like Linc already said, it uses some other plugins, some of them only available for the hosted version of Vanilla.
I didn't ask for official support, I asked only if someone knew something and could help
Oh, okay then. This comment confused me and made me believe I could use the theme: https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/comment/232735#Comment_232735
Of course I would not be using the same images and design colors, in case this comment is correct.
sure just mentioning it anyway, as often stuff like this come as is. It is really up to you to adapt it.

Unlike Vbulletin clone site aren't really part of Vanilla's brand.

It sound liek you could roll back the design somewhat, if you find the right release or commit.
