freehuddle.com will be changing names...

  • O-Trap
    Ultimately, I don't think admissions of people on here can be used for stuff done one there, because there is no proof that those on here are actually who people think they are. I have a feeling it would be a clusterfuzzy (:D) of a charge to try to prove, given the ability to hide an IP address if one wants to.

    This is just a mess, I bet.

    Not really. It's just stupid and it stirs up drama for the people in charge--pointless drama at that, what can you really accomplish over there? This place is already dominating that place.

    I am interested to hear why the name change has to happen

Is it we that get to do all the bashing of them, you arent permitted? Almost like they are monitoring what is being posted here.
    No threats, I just don't want to discuss things too openly since this is a public forum. Don't read too much into me being tightlipped.

    No post counts will be lost. The code/database will be the same. The only thing changing is the name.
    SQ_Crazies wrote: As for changing the name, who cares. Give in to them since it's the cheaper route, change the name and watch us dominate them anyways.
    This.

    And it could end up in a ban from this place...

    Just sayin
    I'm not going to ban anyone as I can't control what goes on outside of here but please, for my sake, DO NOT DO IT.

    I'm warning everyone now..

    Do not attack the other site.
    Man, they must have gotten some A+ attorney's to try and scare the life out of Justin because between his gag order (it would seem at least) and a forceful message like this it seems that JJ is 100% off limits.

    They used alot of creativity I assume in whatever complaint they filed because far as I can tell this site in no way infringes upon anything at the Huddle legally, because if that were the case that site should be shut down because the major fantasy Huddle site was around much before JJ.

    I can understand not wanting to deal with that hassle of this financially on Justin's end and its easier just to move on, but it kind of blows they were able to basically scare him into shutting the site down with a mean nasty letter because there is hardly anything illegal about it's existence otherwise.
    O-Trap wrote: IggyPride, I think because of that, it has to be something other than just the domain name and site design. Now that I am thinking about it, I recall a topic about an Orrville teacher suing another Orrville teacher for slander or defamation or something like that, and it was based on something said on JJHuddle.com.

    I wonder if it's the same idea here (some of the more personal attacks, I would assume, would be the big issue). Naturally, and wisely, those in the know on this site won't confirm or deny that ... hopefully, anyway. I do, though, think it's a possibility.
    No gag order or threats. I'll say it has nothing to do with slander, libel, spamming, etc. Truthfully, I don't think this site infringes on anything but I am not about to drop tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees to find out.

    and that sounds like exactly what was going on before the whole $12 thing at jj.

    No, it really doesn't sound anything like that actually.

    When this is all over, are you going to fill us in on what is going on? This beating around the bush is pointless for idiots like me.

    Man... if I think what may have happened, happened... that is really weak on "their" part.

    The best thing for all of us to do (and not bring any more grief to Justin) is if you still have a valid account over there go and cancel it! If they start losing people who are registered it will hurt them again since they won't be able to use their registration numbers to garner ads.

    Oh yeah and Justin please don't tell mtrulz the new site name!

    This.

    (First time I've ever used the "This." post lol)
  • SQ_Crazies
    Bottom line is, fuck that place.

    No point in any of us going back for anything other than to post there if you really want to. Don't spam them, we've already crushed them. There is no point in bringing anything down on our fearless leader just to, as they say, beat a dead horse.

    I was going to cancel my old one, but as it turns out I must have referenced "freehuddle" one too many times back in the day
  • Tigerfan00
    Will the new site have the word huddle in it anymore?

    Does it matter?

    We killed the Huddle. It's time for a little originality anyways.

    I think it would be a poor choice for him to actually come out and associate some negative action with the old Huddle at this time, particularly given LJ's stated policy.

    Just a thought.

    If you are banned over there, do they keep you on as a registered member and if so, how do you cancel it?

    we are being told what we can or cant do on other internet sites. and you dont think members stirring up drama over stupid shit on the old huddle was the reason they started to crack down before we all came here? oh and not to mention mods from here were partaking in the spamming.

    I think they keep you registered, b/c I just logged in, but I couldnt do anything once I signed in. (I got banned for "spamming". --I was telling somebody about freehuddle--) I don't think there is a way you can delete it though, I could be wrong?
