Is it possible to have a game show up on mutliple hubs?

Like, my Castle remake, I have the choice bewteen hosting it on my hub, or on Abra's, but if it's on Abra's, then I lose control of the download button and suchlike.

If I could host to both, then it would fix the problem, but I'm unsure if this is possible in any way.

Otherwise, perhaps, even in the slightest amount, would it be possible for me to get control of the original hub? I in no way pretend that I've gotten consent from Abra for this, but I also know that he no longer visits BYOND (Or even the AIM I had him on), and I doubt he would put up much protest to the idea anyway, having already given me full control over the game.

Kaiochao	I don't think this is possible. Servers show up on the hub defined by world.hub and world.hub_password. The pair can only be matched with one hub.

Nadrew	As Kaiochao said, it's only possible to have a world showing up on one hub entry. You could have a 'dummy' world hosted on one of the entries or the other that link()'s people to the other.

Rushnut	I see, and would it be completely implausible for me to take control of the other Hub? Even if I were just made a helper?

Nadrew	If the original author doesn't agree to it then you're not allowed access, that's the whole point of making it a decision of the hub entry's author. We can't just be giving access to things to people without the proper permission.

Rushnut	I was praying the rare exception could be made, since it's clear that I'm one of the developers of the game and it's a very, very old game whose owner has since quit, leaving the game to me. But if it's not possible, then I will suffice with a new Hub.
