JWsleep 05-01-2008, 05:33 PM It's all my fault, fellas. I tore one of those mattress labels off my mattress--a very serious crime. Then I was busted for jaywalking. And finally, I drank beer as a minor. The feds had me in a bind, so I gave up all the crazy illegal stuff going on here. Look, I just can't do time. I am just too pretty. I wouldn't last an hour in there. My bad.
What a crock of horse shit. Yet another way to pay back the loyal fans.
Let us know if you need anything to help keep the site going, Matty. Do we need a legal defense fund?
FREE THE WARPATH! FREE MATTY! ATTICA! ATTICA!
Lady Brave 05-01-2008, 07:41 PM Could the solution be as simple as removing the "s" from Redskins? They only have the word Redskins trademarked right?
The reason I ask is because the guys a RedskinRoadtrips made it a point to leave out the "s" to avoid the trademark issue when they named their site.

Yeah we've discussed (among the mods) several possible alternatives, exactly like the one you mentioned. Our current position is simply to comply with their request and remain inconspicuous for the indefinite future. We don't want to draw more attention at the moment.

Best thing everyone can do is continue to provide quality posts and contribute to intelligent discussion. People will find this site. They key is to encourage them to want to stay once they get here.
And some word of mouth advertising doesn't hurt either, to fellow fans that you know and think would make good additions to the site.

Just don't run your mouth on ES. Last thing we need is their rejects, well unless you outline the fact that you won't be able to create threads on obscure topics just because your post in the main thread happened to fall on the bottom of a page and become replaced by a new totally.......no stupid threads.
"Something I've Realized" Lol
Burger 05-01-2008, 09:38 PM Alright here's the scoop folks.
So again, the major change is with the domain name. The NFL will be taking ownership of redskinswarpath.com in the next few days so that domain will no longer point here. We'll back to thewarpath.net as our main domain name, so be ready. I'll give the site a heads up before the change goes through.
Thanks.
How much for a lawyer I would be willing to throw in a donation, A consultation should not cost too much to find out if the NFL has a right to the domain name. 10, 20 dollars a member should be way more than enough. Seems to me this team is called the washington redskins. Not the redskinswarpath. How can a judge rule for the nfl on that one. I would stall for a few days and find out about your rights. If you are willing to give to the cause then someone start a new thread and get some volunteers. We need to go quickly.
Tha Posse 05-01-2008, 10:35 PM No videos, that is a major bummer!! I wish i had known sooner, I would have downloaded a bunch. Thats all i do is watch the highlights when i get bored at home. Youtube quality sucks usually! This is garbage!!

I tell all my B&G friends, and few get motivated to visit. I'm not sure why. This forum has seemed like family for more than four or five years now for me. When I got the error message, I felt like I had lost many hundreds of friends with no way to re-connect.
Intelligent discussion is great, but sometimes I just enjoy bringing a little humor to the discussion.
It's great you are able to bring the site back, but I'm sorry about the circumstances that brought this about.
I think I will go in and change my User CP, or thread subscription or something. I echo an earlier comment about some sort of e-mail system for members about any other drastic shutdowns should help ease our worry.
FRPLG 05-01-2008, 11:50 PM It does suck but ultimately I think we're getting too worked up. The content of the site will remain unchanged and that's what matters.
