You all forgot > that? > Hey, Jerome, You are right at being afraid, and Alvaro has the same fears as you... but I don't think we should limit ourselves because of those fears..w hat's the worst that could ever happen ? they tell us to change our name ? that's it ? then we'll do it and we'll move, just like so many projects did.. and look at the thread right now, you already want to change the name to avoid M$ making us change it ? let's take the risk, if something happens, then we change it and that's it.. I think if we stay afraid and take no risks, then we won't be able to advance.. ever... also, what's the worst that could happen ? amsn dies ? well in that case, I don't see how much different it will be from our current situation.. when was the last 'meaningfull' commit done ? can't remember... there was no advancements since the 0.96 RC1....

Also, what pushes me to get a domain name without fears is because 'amsnforums.net' was registered for a long time now and we never had any problems...
