Nothing new to report. I have yet to receive a second letter, which seems to be their next play.

Good news then. Hopefully it dies a death.

Any more on this? This could have ramifications for many of the forums I visit/moderate. It sounds like typical shakedown stuff to me. These guys might as well be running a protection racket.

I've been sued before and I told them they'd never see a dime. They didn't, but they sure shelled out a few trying to get one from me. I love this country's laws, but despise its loopholes.

Nothing yet. I'm actually surprised I hadn't received another letter. They may be done, or they may just jump right to filing suit. Either way, I will update this with any new info.

Thanks for the update.

We were talking about this on BOF and I really believe you would win even if you just represented yourself. I think they have to have nothing except the hope you settle out of fear.

This is what happens on the internet all the time.

I really could care a less. It is what it is.

Wow, what a strange and ridiculous situation.

I support this board, and am willing to help in whatever capacity I can, if need be.

I got another nasty gram from them, this time via email. Still waiting for them to actually file suit so the real fun can begin.

These guys are playing with fire. Absolutely no way a suit would stand, but they're risking a lot professionally if they continue harassing you like this.

So I guess this thread can be deleted, unstuck from the announcements area or moved to a more appropriate place now? Perhaps the Other Ramblings section...
