Dennis, I want to be careful here because I never enjoy unsolicited advice. I can certainly see Yamaha's case for having any Yamaha trademarked logos or fonts removed from the header of the page, as it could be construed as Yamaha's endorsement or affiliation. However, I would not release the domains to them. I really don't see their right. Make them take it, if it comes to that. As far as any trademarked materials in the avatars or signatures, I really don't see that as your responsibility. Yamaha can fight that fight 1000 times with 1000 individuals if they really feel the need. This appears to me to be a case of a company making demands that are completely beyond their rights, counting on their power of intimidation as a huge global company. This is your site, and your decision. I'm just offering my .02 because you have provided this excellent resource for all of us. The very least I, and anyone else who has benefited from this forum, can do is stick up for you. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. You've provided us, and Yamaha, with this excellent platform that enhances the ownership experience of these bikes and this is the thanks you get. If they don't like your forum they can set up their own damn forum and see how they do. If you choose to fight for this there are hundreds of members here, myself included, who will stand behind you.
