Why would posting Mugen characters be a big no-no?
EDIT: oh, and the characters are as well.

Although Nintendo has released a statement[7] against emulation in all forms, Capcom, SNK and other sites have not shown any ill will towards those creating content for the engine, despite being aware of the practice for several years. In fact, only one group has stepped forward to ever ask content from their work not be made for the engine: French Bread (Known as Watanabe Seisakujo prior to 2003) the creator of the Queen of Heart games, and the co-creators of Melty Blood. They also included the community of developers for the game Knuckle Fighter X in this notice. During the release of Melty Blood, they requested that sounds and voices from the game itself not to be used with the characters, notably loosening slightly their stance regarding conversions. Interestingly, this limitation was removed in subsequent installments of the game series. Since then, French Bread has not aired any publicly known objections of conversions from their later games, like Glove on Fight, and Ragnarok Battle Offline, however their exact stance is debatable.

and finally, I never said anything about FanArt NOT being copyright infringement, I only said it's like saying it is.
so I said there's no theft involved. You use a more literal definition of theft than I do in a situation like this, apperantly.
This thread's nothing to be afraid of. Nobody's suing anybody over MUGEN characters and when a company steps up and requests that their material not be used, the MUGEN community respects it and gets rid of all the material of that company.
