Or license it to them for $1. The subreddit can then put a (R) sign next to it and say "Used under license from Chris Vizzini / gaymer.org". With some ingenuity, Vizzini could work with them to turn it into a community brand and make gaymer.org the central hub. Trying to fight the community rather than work with it is inconceivable!

- tech-no-logical 14y agoas someone who follows /r/gaymers I can say that this will _never_ be accepted by that community. the cease-and-desist mr. vizzini sent was seen as a sort of declaration of war, and mr. vizzini's posts on reddit only added to that feeling.
- biot 14y agoA classic blunder. Never get involved in a trademark war with Reddit.
- fitzpasd 14y agoI believe they had an agreement similar to this already (without the charge). "...that the /gaymer sub-reddit had use of the word in exchange for a link to my site. Apparently that wasn’t enough for them because yesterday they filed a petition to have the trademark taken away." - Extract from a post by the trademarks owner.

- tech-no-logical 14y agoI can't find anything about it now (mr. vizzini has deleted his reddit account, so it's hard to pinpoint some things), but I sincerely doubt there ever was such an agreement.
