The old version of the addon I would like to update is from 2016, before Twitch. I suppose the new Curse integrates old addons database, but I don't see how to access these informations.
My addon is EmoteLib, that cann't be found with a basic addon search. Nevertheless, it says this project already exist when I try to create a new project with that name.
EmoteLib is listed as All Rights Reserved, which takes decades to expire. Even though the original author is unknown ("_ForgeUserNNNNN" is a placeholder for someone who canceled their Curseforge account) the rights still exist with whomever that was. I doubt an admin would hand over the project given the legalities.
However, you can fork the project and make enough changes to make it your own, in which case you are safe from any legal fallout.
Well, I don't remember, but I don't think I choose "All Rights Reserved" when I was maintaining this addon. I think it automatically happens during Twitch migration.
Anyone can see I'm the author, as I updated it at wowinterface:
In that case, click the link above, look to the right for the flag icon and notify for admin or moderator changes :)
As a side note, all addon code defaults to All Rights Reserved unless otherwise specified, because all intellectual property is copyright by default. Specifying All Rights Reserved is for other people who don't understand the law.
Hello,
I would like to resurrect one of my old (very old in fact) addon to post a new version but my project list is empty.
If I try to submit a new project, it says this project already exist.
How can I do to update a very old project?
Thank you.

Forum ModeratorClick on Dashboard, Projects, and find the old version. It may be listed more than once, so find the one that is working.
Thanks Myrroddin.
Dashboard says I have 0 projects :(

Cool, thank you :)
It says EmoteLib is owned by "_ForgeUser18280", so I guess I will to have to contact an admin.
