Jeebus! I picked a hell of a time to come back. It's funny to me that no matter how shitty NFLsoft is to it's fan's, we just keep coming back for more. And I find it hard to believe that the Redskins front office had nothing to do with it...

yeah I even mentioned that basic point, I said I wasn't aware I was doing anything wrong since every fan site out there uses logos and stuff. They said they are aware of it but they can only deal with them as issues come up, whatever that meant. They even asked me if there are sites out there I wanted to direct them to and I said nah, I'm definitely not interested in throwing others under the bus.
I think our highlight videos got their attention and things just snowballed.
Matty, the fact that they said 'as issues come up', tells me someone,(ES), made a complaint to them specifically, those bastards are jealous.

the NFL SUCKS!! they took down my vids on youtube and now that!!! They're going too far on copyrights and stuff like that. We're not doing anything wrong if we are using the skins logo on avatars or posting homemade videos. I wish we could react, but no way, all we can do is stick to the rules.

I really don't think they had anything to do with it. I think our highlight videos on warpathfilms may have raised the wrong eyebrows. That was the main gripe they had.

Matty...DO NOT give up the domain redskinswarpath.net if YOU own it! Keep renewing it and put a 301 direct on it. If they want the domain, make them purchase it.
I see a WJLA on your side story with this one. I certainly understand the need to protect, but this is clearly petty and NOBODY here is using this stuff for profitable gains. I sense that this site was put in front of some people to make it "above the radar" and to those folks that may have done so can kiss my ass!

I really think if we had the legal wherewithal to fight this, the NFL wouldn't stand a chance in hell. It's just that, in a situation like this, you have to weigh what's really important and simply move on.
Some fights just 'aint worth fighting.

See, this is really making me upset now...
Here it is the NFL, who can't take care of it's on retired players adequately, and what do they do, snoop around the internet to see who's breaking the rules? Give me a break.

Snyder and his army of minions stikes again!!!! I think someone from the site that shall not be named was upset that more and more people are comming here and not going there. Clicks = big bucks, and although you've never proposed doing this if you were to take your click numbers and market them to a company to purpose advertising on the site, you would make a strong case. Just sale the site to snyder and make a couple million matty! (Just Kidding) I'm sorry to see the site get lowered with the smackdown, the growth over the past few years has been amazing!

I didn't realize that the site changed from thewarpath.net in the first place. I don't think these changes will have any affect on the site...no videos and logos is not a big deal.
