Does anyone know Associated's official stand on this site?
Sorry if this has been brought up before, but any search terms on this particular matter would probably yield tons of results. No one good term to use. Anyway, has Associated ever contacted anyone officially about this site? I'm just curious. Did someone have to get permission for the domain and RC10 logo being used? I'm sure they know of the site and have to be proud to have such a legion of loyal followers. Have they donated anything to the site? Seems to me that close to a thousand members buying Associated products for 25+ years adds up to like $134. ... wait, did I carry the 1? No disrespect intended to Associated if they haven't, just asking.

Re: Does anyone know Associated's official stand on this site?
I've seen that and it is very cool, but is he still in any position of power with Associated? I'll admit I haven't read that entire discussion and my question might be just another clue to my ignorance. Or better yet, if it's just stupid or possibly seen as antagonistic toward Associated please delete it. I have a tendency to sometimes ponder things beyond the point of productive thought.civilguy wrote:You may want to read this thread: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=4896&start=0&hilit=websteve

I know Steve was doing their website, but I haven't kept up on the subject lately. I would imagine the powers that be at AE are more into the current trends to worry about the nutjob vintage guys (and gal).

I'm sure you're right. As usual, I'm talking when I should be reading. I guess my Highscool teacher's were right!civilguy wrote:I know Steve was doing their website, but I haven't kept up on the subject lately.

i'm under the assumption that steve is still at associated......... maybe i'm wrong. so, i would think if there would be any problem with it, we would've heard something by now.

Re: Does anyone know Associated's official stand on this site?
I didn't mean to imply that I thought they had a problem with it. Again, I think they should be proud. I hope my post isn't taken out of context. I'll just shut up now...scr8p wrote:i'm under the assumption that steve is still at associated......... maybe i'm wrong. so, i would think if there would be any problem with it, we would've heard something by now.

i was talking about use of the logo, thumb.
Re: Does anyone know Associated's official stand on this site?
no one has contacted me about the domain name yet. I also run a ClodParts.com and ClodTalk.com and have gotten no emails from Tamiya either. For companies to get upset about us using their name would be silly. This is a form of advertising for them that they do not pay for! Nor harm comes from it, except the lack of cash in our wallets! lol

That said, it's a given that we have their permission.Bill Krueger wrote: No harm comes from it, except the lack of cash in our wallets! lol
Nah, ya gotta figure that a rig that's been out of production for - how long? - what the heck do they care if we use the name. They're probably thinking that we (meaning you weirdo's that still play with these ancient buggy thingies ) are nuts that refuse to come into the future! There's no accounting for nutz!

Re: Does anyone know Associated's official stand on this site?
Am I wrong or did AE issue a statement a while back that they would no longer be using the term "Stealth" to describe their products? I imagine they were issued a cease and desist from someone else who trademarked the term?
Re: Does anyone know Associated's official stand on this site?
Being as a Google Search resulted in 29,400,000 hits for the word "Stealth" I seriously doubt it.arf wrote:Am I wrong or did AE issue a statement a while back that they would no longer be using the term "Stealth" to describe their products?

Or maybe it was that Eustice Moore asked and asked "I don't mind you guys stole my 3-gear design, but how about not alluding to the idea of it being top secret?" and they finally relented....
Then again it could have something to do with the Grassy Knoll.
