While I can understand you wanting to support the DC Group's work. I think this is a bit excessive.
My website is filled with over 400 characters and vehicles, so I can appreciate the amount of research and creative work they have done. However, I write because I enjoy it (I use less than 1/10 of it myself) and post it because I think others can find it useful. I know many people won't use the material and a few will soundly criticize it. This does not mean I stop creating characters and vehicles or stop posting them.
Most of my vehicles are historical WWII designs. It would make me uncomfortable if some GURPS forum or mailing list declared those design to be canon. While I've spent a lot of time and work on those designs, I'm not going to think that someone can't do a better job or better research. I'd want the designs to be used because the people want to use them, not because there told they had to use then.
It's one thing if this forum was dedicated to an individual T2K campaign. But were I in the DC Group, I would feel uncomfortable with you decision.
