I have a feeling this isn't about Grandma Wendy thinking Johnny P has earned 5 pounds from the name Bl00d B0wl, but rather about web traffic.

Which means that changing everything over will only result in another C&D.

Been told from reliable sources that this isn't about the content of the sites sent letters ... its all about the domain name.   Remove "blood.bowl" (remove the period) from the domain name and they are all happy again.

So yeah ... moving the site will solve it ... but I was concerned DL that your thought was correct and that a new site would not solve anything but it appears that it will for now.

So it's yet another dangling carrot for Bl00d B0wl fans to think Grandma Wendy is about actually release product or create a Bl00d B0wl site for some reason...when in reality it's just an excuse for them to piss on their fans.

We don't know yet if FBB (french equivalent of FUMBBL) has received such a letter from Grandma Wendy, as FBB webmaster seems not to be available these days.

But a french game website called Enefel (it means Nuffle in french) received it. That's surprising 'cause Enefel is an original game, this is not exactly a FF game even if it takes place in FF world. In Enefel, you play the role of only one FF player (for example a human lineman).

So, that's only to say Grandma Wendy seems to enter in a new international crusade. It seems they want to forbid all websites with a domain name with FF, Nuffle or any of their trademarks. That may be to "clean" the web and be sure all the new buyers of their PC Game who wants to play online will play on their official FF game website and not on other websites...

If they after the phrase "Fantasy football" then they are 1) stupid and 2) deluded. To the norms "Fantasy football" is teams of NFL or Premiership players...

No, Thadrin, they aren't after FF they are after a double letter between AA and CC but here, it is not possible to say it !

B-B is how you say it here.

There is also Bl00d B0wl, B1ood Bowl, B/B, 3lood 3owl, and probably some I haven't thought of.

There's also Blood Bowl, but that's just being pedantic.  

Of course, the admin of a social forum I'm on likes to play with random, off-the-wall word filters sometimes just for kicks and giggles (e.g., a discussion of goth clubs in which "vampire" gets replaced with "cowboy"), so a variety of ways around them were quickly discovered. I don't do that on here as a general rule, as I realize Galak has legitimate, necessary reasons for his filters... but since this is a legitimate discussion about a specific company and their actions regarding the actual name of their specific game, I thought it wouldn't hurt just this once.

Now I'm curious too.

I didn't check, I just assumed that was what he did.
