Just a heads up, that certified letter was from Bucknuts attorneys. Don't mention anything on any of the public forums about it, though.

Like we all hypothesized when one of the posters (I forget who) was impersonating and saying they would sue. I think it's a last ditch effort and are trying to scare you into shutting this down to get their MVP's (most valuable posters) over to JJHuddle to bring that back up.
But I would take this seriously as need be.

Infringement, dilution and tortious interference.

I don't know if this is relevant or not, and I've been in contact with one of my best friends who is a lawyer for advice, but check these two sites out:
http://www.goldmansachs.com
http://www.goldmansachs666.com
I think I might be safe if I just throw in a disclaimer saying that freehuddle is in no way associated with jjhuddle.

What law firm are they using, just wondering. Well, that is, if they are in Columbus I am wondering. If not I don't care.

Bricker has 152 Attorneys on staff and that firm has 14 total employees.
Basically bringing out the big guns and telling them to fuck off

I am sorry, but there is just no way. This site really doesn't resemble that one at all. We are a pretty much uncensored(for the most part) site. It is a message board, just like a million others. They are just pissed that we shut them down.....dumbasses.
I do feel bad for ya justin, because regardless, there will be money involved in making them go away.

To be honest I was thinking about slowly phasing the site over to a different domain name. Now, I don't know if I can do that.

I wouldn't get too excited until you talk to a lawyer about it. I may not be the smartest guy in the world, but even I can see that they are grasping at straws.justincredible wrote: To be honest I was thinking about slowly phasing the site over to a different domain name.

No, I'm just saying that even if I wanted to change the domain name now I don't think I could because I now know how pissed off they are at freehuddle.com.wes_mantooth wrote:I wouldn't get too excited until you talk to a lawyer about it.
