All of the links to the mtgsalvation thread about the Space: the Convergence cube don't function. I get an error saying that I don't have permission to view it? What happened? Is the project no longer public?
From this point onward, the STC project will be subject to all site proxy policies, and STC renders will be considered the same as MTG renders by the staff.
DO NOT:

As with the Make a Proxy Thread, for us to be able to continue to support this community, we need each of you to be vigilant within this thread and report any violations of this. I would hate for us to need to close discussion on this, but MTGS cannot entertain the liability that further violations would bring.
I was gone for a while and came back to find it missing, too. I guess I'm fine with that, since the project was already dead and I backed up everything locally.
I PMed Xerent, but he hasn't responded. Did someone get a letter, or was he just getting tired of looking over his shoulder?
IIRC there wasn't any actual legal threat; he preemptively took it down out of fear of such a threat.
That sounds like him. Everyone who worked on the project had gotten their cube, and there had been no legal trouble along the way. The fear, however unfounded, was definitely present in all of us.
I'm just sad my space cube box has QR codes of dead links to forum threads and visual spoilers that no longer exist. :'(
I can understand why Xerent did what he did. It nevertheless seems a shame that more people can't benefit from the tremendous amount of work that was put into what was essentially a labour of love from Magic's fan base.

Actually, not everyone did... oh well. I at least have an archived copy of the visual spoiler.

There wasn't a specific legal threat, but in December Wizards 'clarified' their position on proxy cards to be way more hostile than what people were assuming, so Xerent acted on that.
What happened to the forum posts about Space Cube? Have they been permanently deleted or have the administrators simply restricted access to the threads?
Was looking for the translation of terms, but I found it!

Also, and this is a shot in the dark: Weren't there a few minor errors in the final template? I'm trying to figure it out in case it matters. I think it was a matter of creature type, or something along those lines. Thanks SO much, if you can recall.
Most importantly, and I'd really appreciate it if you could help me here: Will this cube be suitable for Winston Drafting? Any special way I should set it up (or separate the colors) to make that viable? Thanks so much for the advice. I will probably be playing 2 player games with one or two friends, max. I just need to figure out the best way to go about Winston Drafting this cube (actually based on an actual cube, I realize). Thanks again.
I found the note from the thread (somehow):
"Kuo's Claw is nondistinguished (matters only if it's copied by Nano-Replicators)
the replacement for Colony Pod is not a device
City Leveler is not a device (in place of Realm Titan)
Lobatis Prior's flavor lost a letter: "networks, they subvert"
I'm not sure if this is present on my cards (not home right now), but there it is.
Olivia Voldaren (can gain control of it without turning it into a vampire first because it's already a vampire). Even though she is outside wtwlf's current 360 list, I do have a section of my box that contains the extra 90 cards, just in case I need a 450 cube for some reason. Plus, the art is kinda meh, and I found a much better one. ^^

Holy crap! All of those errors do exist on the Revised sheets. Guess I have more work to do.
Rats, and I've already printed them, of course. Guess I'll just have to remember?
Im about to sleeve these in Ultra Pro Clear sleeves. Has anyone else done that? How big of a box do I need to fit all that? I'm looking to buy a nice wood one. A measurement would be great! (metric or otherwise, haha)

I have mine single-sleeved in KMC Super Blacks. The whole cube, with basic lands (but without tokens) fits pretty snugly in a ~14" (interior length) 800ct white cardboard card box.
Thanks. I wonder how the thickness of those sleeves compares with the Ultrapros that I am picking up. Very similar? I ask because I plan on buying a nice wooden box, and would hate to get it wrong.
While we're on the error train: Xerent, Slave of Sigma's ultimate says "...x is the number of artifacts..." when it should say "...x is twice the number of artifacts..."
Those of you with copies of the cube already made, feel free and PM me about corrections, and new cards. (I AM still using the old style of p/d, fyi.) I've tweaked or fixed the following:
Lobatis Prior
Adiran Immortal
Xerent, Slave of Sigma
Kuo's Claw
Explorer Probe
City Leveler
And I've finished (or almost finished with) created new the following:
Night's Whisper
Edric, Spymaster of Trest
Red Sun's Zenith
Olivia Voldaren
Venser, the Sojourner
Venser Emblem
Sorin, Lord of Innistrad
Sorin Emblem
Adiran Token
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
Gravecrawler
Strangleroot Geist
Hellrider
Torch Fiend
Diregraf Ghoul
Liliana of the Veil
Snapcaster Mage
Bramblecrush
Devil's Play
Faithless Looting
Wolfbitten Captive // Krallenhorde Killer
Huntmaster of the Fells // Ravager of the Fells
Garruk, Relentless // Garruk, the Veil-Cursed
Cloistered Youth // Unholy Fiend
Loyal Cathar // Unhallowed Cathar
Wolf Token
This way you can make a 500+ card cube if you want!
I'm, in fact, trying to order my cube right now as I type this. Not sure if I can still jump on that train since SPOD's probably already gotten rid of their template. I'll keep you guys posted if I get to order a copy.

I was able to order one mid January or so, after the thread was taken down. Just arrived a couple days ago, hoping to get to play it tonight. So you might still have luck!
