vbulletinauction.com
 
Ok well am not sure if this is even in the right place but here goes and sorry if it isn't

I bought a vbulletin lisance again and opened a site called VBauction aka vbulletinauction.com

Now I hope this doesnt offend anyone especiall from vbulletin it was just I seen a few sites like vbulletingames.com etc and couldnt think of any other name all I knew was I wanted an auctioning website where people could buy sell trade items and also buy sell offer request and advertise there services and also a community to discuss web hosting, scripting and coding issues,

With the help of vbclassafieds I was able to do this I have placed on our sites disclaimer that we have no direct affiliation with jalesoft the creators of vbulletin.

Now just wondering is this ok to have the name as it is with the disclaimer there and what do people think of the idea of the site??

Thanks

I like the idea, its powered by a vb, so why not call it vbulletinauctions. Its a good idea, who knows how far it will go.

ey ...

vBulletin is a registerd Trademark.Basically that means you are not allowed to use that name in your domain(s) if you want to avoid legal action .... You are not permitted to use the name "vBulletin" UNLESS you ask for permission to use that name but as far as i know jelsoft does not allow this

Well, thats the end of that then : /

Unless the site gets big, I doubt Jelsoft will give a crap.

The name makes no sense, however. If the site is about auctions, then what does it have to do with vBulletin other than being powered by it? The name of the site suggests that everything traded has to do with vBulletin. When I clicked on this thread I was expecting to see an Ebay-type site that specializes in auctioning vBulletin skins, mods, etc.

a copyrighted title is not only "when thesite goes big", but all the time...

i suppose Jelsoft will act on it in the next opening business days.

1) when asking people to check out your site, at least post an actual link to it. some of us are lazy. :P

2) you did absolutely nothing to it except change the default logo. bleh.

Why not just put in the footer
"We are not an official Jelsoft website and is not associated with Jelsoft" and etc etc etc.

As far as the review I agree with this..

I'm suprised vb didn't send you a service ticket regarding the domain name when you updated your license record with them...they did me when I registered vbulletin-products.com and associated to a license. They are reasonable to work with however, as long as you are and acknowledge their copyright concerns...
