Their name might get them in trouble with the AA, a UK and Ireland insurance company who has products such as AA Roadwatch.
Other than that potential future problem, this is pretty much the system working as intended, and they're following the path led by sites such as Wookiepedia.
- bobthepanda 3y agoI feel like if there were to be a problem, it would be with the American AAA instead, which is probably more similar given that it offers roadside assistance and other road services.
- jkaplowitz 3y agoThe site these former Wikipedia editors are joining has existed since 2000, is primarily US-focused, and is named after two people in the US with first names beginning with A: https://www.aaroads.com/about/ https://www.aaroads.com/about/ So this new migration shouldn't affect that site's legal risk from the UK and Ireland company, which seems pretty low anyway given that context.
- timthorn 3y agoIt's sad that you describe the AA as an insurance company - you're not wrong, but that throws the contrast between today's AA and its venerable past into sharp relief.
