Coincidentally I checked the Twitter moments ago and learned it was suspended several hours ago. No email or information stating as to why.

strange

I read through the rules and I think the closest thing is trademark infringement.
I think "Packers" in PackersHome was the dagger. I've inquired with the Twitter staff.



Edit, Twitter account was restored.

This was the Packers response ...

Jerry HansonWe have trademarked the word “Packers”, so using Packers in their title is potential trademark infringement issue.
I took a quick look at the website and it appears to be informative and newsworthy.
It does not appear to contain any commercial aspect (side ads or links to other commercial venture where the owner of the site would receive a payment).
Unless it can be shown that there is some commercial venture, we would not take any action against the owner.

That is excellent news..

So basically though it just shows the NFL's greed. If you are making a buck off their name.. they want a cut. If not.. we care less. [grin1]

Yes, this is almost the same response the NFL gave me when they ripped my YouTube highlights down and when I asked if I could host them at PackersHome.com instead.
They basically said if I receive no payment, they wouldn't come after me. Pretty much what the Packers said.

I have put in another email to them. I think by his response that means no shirts, no mugs, no bumper sticker, no car decal, etc ... which the reason I haven't pursued that is fear of infringement. I have the designs done for shirts, hoodies, polo and coffee mug on various sites, but haven't pulled the trigger.

I find it interesting that you had it set up for a banner ad for those who are not registered.
Is Jerry Hanson a registered user or did you pull down the ads?

The ads are still up. I just doubled checked. We had a few editors from Journal Sentinel and Press Gazette, but I removed them.
Hanson might be registered, I dunno.

I'm hoping to not have to change the sites name, but have asked a few questions and a few other names to get an idea of the latitude that can be had.
I'd like to have a "brand" of sorts for the site. I don't think that'll be possible with PackersHome, unfortunately.

I didn't get a response, nor have I called.
I think I'm going to say screw it, keep PackersHome.com and proceed with my plans while thinking of a new name silently just in case.

I would have called this week, but have been insanely ill and only time I've stopped blowing my nose or wiping my eyes is to cough.

hope you feel better real soon.
