Here's all you need to know,

I no longer host these patches anywhere and do not intend to in the foreseeable future.
  To my knowledge, I currently don't have an active download for my patches. If you find one somewhere, IT IS NOT hosted by me. My download link is broken. I don't have another one. When I allowed my webhost to expire, the link expired with it. I am not currently interested in creating another download link. Please don't ask me to. If you're about to offer to make one, read the next post down first.

"Can I get your patches or the DH map directly from you?
No, I no longer have a copy of my patches or of the old map. My computer has been through several reformats and all my old webhosts where I kept them backed up have expired. The map is probably out there... ssssoomewhere but I wouldn't know where. To my knowledge it was never released publicly. I still feel it shouldn't be released publicly except to the current owner and their group of helpers (should they choose to upload it again). This will help eliminate any confusion. I know the patches are still around because I see them in use. Asking around a little should lead you to them. 

"Where is Draygans Hollow?"
I haven't asked! I haven't logged onto Furcadia in a while. I no longer upload or have copies of the dream.

"I will upload Draygans Hollow for you! May I?"
No. I've gotten this question a few times and I have nothing against the hopeful volunteers. I'm glad y'all were interested! I hope you can pour some of that energy into a new and active dream, but as for DH, it has an owner already.

"Who is the new owner?"
I choose not to say. I get a lot of questions about the old map/patches myself and don't want someone else's inbox swamped :'D. I'm still in contact with them but have no interest in pressuring them to do anything. They'll upload it when/if they're ready.

"Will Draygans Hollow ever be uploaded again?
I don't know. I left the map to a new owner when I left, which was years ago. I choose not to name this person on my pages so as not to swamp them with requests. I do not know the current status of the dream but I think the best assumption is that it's retired until further notice, and should you get ahold of the map it shouldn't be uploaded (as Draygans Hollow) by anyone who doesn't have direct permission from the current owner. I'm confident this person will create their own circle of loaders and helpers if they ever choose to revive the dream, and if they don't choose to revive the dream, I am perfectly okay with that and everyone else should be too.

"I will host your patches for you! May I?"
   I released these patches to the wilds of the internet years ago and am no longer responsible for what people do with them. Please be careful who and where you download files from. Scan all links with a virus scanner before downloading anything. This is your responsibility, not mine.

Are they free?
   Yes. They are meant to be free. You CAN find them for free, you may have to hunt a little. But they're out there.

Can I edit them/post my edited copy for download?
   If you redistribute an edited copy, please make it plain that it is an edited copy. If you make it hot pink or add flame stickers, they may look good, but I don't want credit for your hot pink flame stickers. Include a proper credits file. I am not responsible for your edits. Please preserve the free atmosphere.

I saw someone selling a map that was using your patches, is that okay?
   They're selling the work and effort they put forth into creating that map, not the patches themselves. Not all artists feel this way. This is only applicable to patches created by me.

Will you make more patches/take commissions?
   No, sorry.

Are you still working on Furcadia avatars, do you plan to?
   I am not and currently have no plans to continue. There is no special reason for this, I just got burnt out on pixel art. 

What about patches I have commissioned, or were commissioned by someone else?
   That is up to the person that commissioned them. When I created patches by commission for someone else, I created it specifically for them. If you find someone redistributing their patches without their permission, inform them. Not me. I am no longer in contact with any of my previous commissioners.

I have a question, can I note you?
   Please try to answer it with the information provided here first. So many of my notes are unanswered patch questions, and I'm a little worn out with finding them in my inbox (sorry about that. I didn't expect to still be answering questions about these this many years down the road).
