Its been made overly clear as to what the 'idea' is from both parties.. I doubt that it was necessary to try and find faults in the guidelines.. :blink:

In case you happened to miss the 5 or 6 posts stating the idea of the service in question.. It is to provide a service where staff members will provide a skin, graphics, and whatever else is desired to a member requesting to have their forum 'Pimped'..

Ok, I am willing to compromise, but I never claimed "Pimp my forum" as my own, I simply just used the name..

There is no such thing as ripping a idea. If there was such thing, all forum services would be 'ripping' IFSZ.[/rant]

unfortunately, I have to repeat myself. I wasn't trying to find errors. I was trying to find the explanation of the service and I noticed that. I repeat, I wasn't looking for errors in the guidelines. :rolleyes:

RagingFuryBlack, I think it is absolutely pathetic to think you have Copyright to those words. You don't. Period. Nor the idea. There are many forum makeover sites that I've seen myself. The idea is not unique, therefore you do not own any rights whatsoever to it. It is not your property.

It seemed like you were ;) No need to get snippy. :) But I still am not clear as to why you were looking for the explination.. As I stated in my post.. The explination or.. the 'idea' has been explained at least 4 times in this topic..

Anyway. Why are we bickering? :) lol. No need. :) *huggles* to you dear one.

I was looking for an explanation of the 'product' from raging and his posts didn't include that so I went to the forum. Looking for an 'official' explanation. That's all. :yes:

Your signature is not written as a proper legal document. As it appears, it says, translated legally:

Quote:
 
"Pimp your forum" is the expressed intellectual property and trademark of Christopher B[insert rest of last name here] ("RagingFuryBlack") of http://www.forumstyles.net. Any unauthorized use of this term is strictly prohibited


Now, parsed correctly it becomes apparent that had you in fact trademarked the phrase "Pimp your forum," which is not the phrase the thread author is attempting to you.

Now, you did not write that scritly legally, and if you want to sue him, have a great time wasting your time and money spending days trying to find a lawyer for a ridiculous case.

Just to clarify, you cannot copywrite a phrase, though you can trademark it, and you cannot copyright an idea, or patent it, or anything.
