[img]graemlins/evilimages/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Ah, poo on Taylor. I believe the JCF admins have good relations with the FMIC and JCMI guys....also the JCF has always been independent...bottom line...I'm not worried.

[img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] Huh? The impression I get from reading that link is that the Taylor Forum has always been independent also. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah smae with the PRS forum. Independent. It is a trend. If Fender goes after the Fender Forum the JCF is next.

PRS had to change to Birds and moons Taylor will change too... I think it will be a domino effect but then again it is pure speculation you know lawyers though

It doesn't look like Taylor is shutting down the forum, they are just severing any any all ties with the forum [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] ... personally, I don't think they are in the wrong. If the forum is perceived as officially sponsered by Taylor, then Taylor stands to lose if there is any "bad press" on the forum. The Taylor forum looks to be independent anyways, so Taylor has no real power to censor the board... they can only make it clear that the board is not sponsored by Taylor. It looks like Taylor is not censoring or shutting anything down but they are just protecting their brand image... I really can't fault them for that.

Also as far a sgood relations the Main mod of the PRS forum is Friends with Paul and Paul didn't want to shut it down but Lawyers and management did and he lost...

Re: Taylor Forum Shutdown , JCF in Danger?

I'm sure I understand this. If I wanted to start a forum to talk about Taylor guitars, I would have to ask permission?

Re: Taylor Forum Shutdown , JCF in Danger?

Anyone wanna pitch suggestions for the new name for the JCF? [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I suggest "Sharkfins And Stratheads" unless Stratheads infringes on Fender. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Perhaps "Sharkfins And Shredders" or something else. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Taylor Forum Shutdown , JCF in Danger?

[img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Between this post and the GC rumor post you guys are killing me! However, I do not see Fender going after the FDP or the JCF...too many of their people are active members. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
