>Did many authors actually do a check for DinkHD using get_version and lock the dmod out?

I'm aware that iplaydink's Bloop the Fish remake does so, along with all of its derivatives released as part of that contest. This brings the known total so far to 4, but my assumption is that there are at least a few others. There may also be d-mods released much further back (since 2006) that explicitly check for get_version() being 108 which would refuse to run for no good reason if get_version() is incremented in Freedink or a fork like ghostknight is proposing. In my view, it would cause great inconvenience without any apparent benefit.
