Some of the Sith were just Dark Jedi turned from the light side and learned from Sith holocrons and such. I have heard many people say that they are now extinct and are no more, but what if someone from the NJO found a Sith holocron from Sidious or Vader or some ancient Sith and learned the ways of the Sith? Would they be a Sith? Or am I wrong? Someone please clear this up for me please.

Technically, fine, there could be more on that basis.

But thewy wouldn't REALLY be Sith. They could call themselves Sith, act like Sith, but it would be in name only.

The point is that the Sith were a continuous organisation, from Master to Apprentice, for thousands of years.

In the films, that cycle was broken. With no more Master or Apprentice, the line could never continue. Hence, the Sith were forever destroyed.

The Dark Side continues, but any future Dark Side adherents would only be calling themselves Sith to try and sound cool. The real Sith are extinct.
