1st, only 2 of those belong to your new friends.  I wonder if they are
harassing the others too?  2nd, the earliest date where I see a registration
filed is June 9, 1998.  That aside, I can see their point, but come-on ..
bothering a "not-for-profit" site that exists to benefit the web development
community as a whole ... that's so, Microsoft of them.

Did they make any demands?

Subject: Fusebox.org BAD NEWS.... READ THIS


| Everyone, listen up...  we've got an issue at hand with Fusebox.org that
| I do not know how to handle, so I am asking for everyone's wisdom.
|
| I just received a rather negative call from Fusebox.COM (note the .com)
| saying that we as fusebox.org are stepping on their brand name.  Here
| are their issues:
|
| 1. They are a web development consulting company, they do everything
| from graphics to programming (including CF)
| 2. They have owned the trademark to "Fusebox" since 1995
| 3. They are about to go on a big marketing push and are concerned that
| people will confuse fusebox.com with .org
| 4. They claim to have a development methodology for building web sites.
| http://www.fusebox.com/fb_pages1/main2.cfm?s=services&c=services
| (note, they have left out testing) ;)
|
| I responded with these points:
|
| 1. We are a free organization that anyone can belong to, and have been
| around since 1998
| 2. We do not directly make any money.  Everything is donated.  Thus we
| couldn't directly take money away from them
| 3. We did not put up fusebox.org to try and draw people away from
| fusebox.com, that has never
| been our intention and never will be
| 4. We have over 1800 people that are active users in our process, many
| of which whom have built
| their business plans around these ideas, changing the name would
| directly affect those companies.
|
| Nothing has been resolved yet, I would like to hear as many people's
| opinions and suggestions on this as possible.  All I know is that I'm
| ready and willing to fight this all the way to the end.
|
| Why?  Because of this quote I just got through ICQ WHILE i was writing
| this email (no kidding)
|
| "Just have to tell you that Fusebox is making my life so much easier.
| Just finished a small project in 8 hours. Something that would have
| taken me 20 - 30 hours 2 months ago." - Michael Slatoff
|
| Let's talk about this, and see if we can come up with something to offer
| them.
