Guys help me out here. I'm not trying to be funny or an a- hole but I am truly ignorant to the whole process of running and maintaining a forum website. Let me start off by saying I think Yamaha is being very petty and foolish to attack a website that does nothing but good things for them. With that said, is this really that big a deal to change the name and not use Yammie logos anymore. I understand there will be a lot of time involved for the admin people to make the changes and for that I am sorry. Will this incur a substantial amount of money to take care of? If so, a fund drive may be in order. If it's just hurt feelings, then let's just move on, do what needs to be done, and not give big blue the satisfaction. If it's much more than just that, then please explain the process to others like myself that want to learn and give support to this forum.
If the site is in danger of closing down, and the good people of this site are in danger of lawsuits and the such, I will indeed sell my FZ1 and never buy another Yamaha product. I refuse to support a company that does not support me and my interests. I did it with Subaru, went to ford and felt great when I did it.
If this is not that serious, let me know. I really do love my bike and would hate to sell. But principles may be at stake here and that's more important. Plus, I have my eyes on a Kawasaki I like.
