I voted for the old name just because I like it well enough and I'm too lazy to think of a new one. If someone's got a better name I'd be willing to change my mind.

well, unless I am mistaken, just about everyone that is currently still around, or even remotely around (like me), were here when the site was called by its original name. seems only fitting to go back.

Renaming the "hstuners" to something like "honda style tuners" around the forum is easy, but getting back the .com would be tough. Honda's lawyers got their panties in a bunch and confiscated the domain back in 8/04

I may have gotten the last hurrah when I went shopping for a new car four months later and didn't even consider stepping foot onto a honda dealership.

anything with honda in it they can sue you for, its a trademarked name, you cant use it for your own personal gains(ie, traffic, search engine results, or any other way which makes the site with honda in it) it makes the false presumption that the site in question is a child company or afilliate of the actual morot company. trademarks are protected under federal law, so the chances of winning the suit, expecially after their 04 case in which the precident was set, is about 0

What about using "Honda" in the name with a ".org" suffix? I mean, .org is reserved for any site that is not for profit. I don't think it would be too hard to prove that this site is not for profit. It might have ads, but I really don't think Kalvin is making money off of this site. And since Stefan no longer uses the Styledright name I don't see a problem there.

im only about 95% sure, but i think anything with "honda" in it is in violation of the 04 suite, and it a copyright and or trademark infringment. its like having microsoft.org, and have something remotly related to software, but just talk about it. it misrepresents the company as a 3rd party would or could assume that it has something to do with the real company. the uninformed could then come to the assumption that anything on the site in question is backed by the host company, which it is not, which could bring about unwanted and unjust lawsuites on the real company, and in turn, the site not affiliated with said company, if any information found on the site has not had the research behind it that the host company would want to have done before recommending their consumers to try anything to their product.

you can slice it a number of ways, anything from the how-to section not being 100% at hondas standard, to recommending aftermarket parts which honda would not stand behind, then if anything on your car goes wrong, and you feed the line "well on some *honda*.* site it said it was ok" now they have to take legal actions to shift blame from them to the site owner. but since they own the name honda, they have legal rights to it, so by saying no one can use their name without permission, they help make themselves more secure when it comes to liability and false advertising with their name.

sorry for the long winded legal type responce, my law classes are doing it to me.

While that does make sense, what about the bigger sites that have continued to use the Honda name? I mean if anyone is going to say "I went to a Honda website and they said to do this", you'd think it'd be more inline with a site like Honda-Tech.

honestly, i dont know why they didnt change, i know a buch did, a few didnt. could be legal battles behind the scenes, grandfathered in or whatnot, but like i said, im not 100% but i think its next to impossible to get a *honda*.* name now and not have them send you a little notice

ok i guess it's time to think of a new name for the site. Becuase if Honda actually owns www.hondastyle.com then that's out. so time to start brainstorming.
