The Puffer Forum

... is no more? I know they were fighting a lawsuit with the Monster drink co.

How would an aquarium forum possibly get snuffed out by an energy drink company? I would see if they used the EXACT same name or marketed a energy drink for fish. Or am I to understand that anything titled with "monster" is subject to copyright to this company!?

I was wondering what happened to them, kind of forgot about them over a week ago though to be honest.

Lets just hope a company selling inflatable products doesn't spring up and use a pufferfish for a logo...

Give it a week or so...

Why could they not just change the name and logo of their forum?
