For those who don't know me, this is Vindicator founder of the 88th Hounour Guards.
Recently I got a letter that my airsoft clan "88th Honour Guards" is being closed due to the following of "copyright and fraud"
Apparently there's a 88th Hounor Guards Airsoft/paintball Clan in Finland that was established since 1998. I've got 96hrs before they take this up to court, I'm not happy about it, I have no choice but to say that the 88th Honour Guards will be discontinued.
I prob will make a new clan later and I keep you posted but right now I'm just piss and annoyed.

dont worry mate, they wont be able to take you to court... there are plenty of name 'infringements' when it comes to naming a clan/team/group.
i.e. the tag 'HKC' = Hong Kong Chevaliers *My Clan from 1997 til i terminated it in 2008
and well... type HKC in google... and you'll see what i mean... a group in finland also used HKC as their clan tag argued with me for awhile, threatened the same thing, whilst i told em to send me the court order for trial when they got it started. which never did happen. so.. if they're all the way over yonder, then its not gonna affect you is it?

Well the reasons I got was "Copyright laws and fraud" and yes Pest they have taken this up to court. If I fail to remove the site within 96hrs I will be sued. (Site: is already down)
And I got a letter from the Proboards Company, One of the CEO of the organization, and there lawyer "notification" letter.
I'm not gonna post up the details here, beacuse I don't want you guys to get involved in it. I really cant be arsed about it right now, so I have already email the CEO saying its down. I mean its Airsoft for crying out loud.

I mean its Airsoft for crying out loud. Vindicator consider how some of us here are exceedingly passionate about the sport and community of Airsoft, i think you should keep that part to yourself... otherwise... whatever, do as you like... (especially since you already have...) after a breif search on google, the first result i found leads directly to :: Share '88th Honour Guards Clan Logo' - Network AirsoftShare '88th Honour Guards Clan Logo'. The official clan logo for the 88th Honour Guards Airsoft & Paintball Clan, created by Xurbit ... From Network Arisoft.com... o hell, if what your 'competitors' claim to be true, then they should show up in google search as a primary link... type it in yourself and half a look see b4 tellign me to check my sources again!!
