Use "proplift", "prop", or "props" to refer to the booty (taken leaves or pedals) of one or more "proplifts",
in the past-tense or abstract, while "proplifted"

Use "proplifting" in the abstract, when describing technique, and for the subreddit "r/proplifting".

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
