Hi _LinchpiN_

Ahh... I'm sorry that you removed the avatar.  I love seeing the old Commodore logo, it gives me a great sense of nostalgia.  Tulip released a press release stating that they will be going after those who use the Commodore trademark for commercial purposes only, so I'm sure your fan usage of it won't cause any harm.

Same with the Mario graphic.  I believe it is part of the default avatars in Xoops.  There are hundreds of Nintendo fan sites, magazines, etc., using Nintendo characters and I don't believe anything has happened to them.  I'm sure Nintendo knows about it, but they'd probably receive too much negative publicity if they were to start shutting down every fan site for having pictures of Mario on their web pages.  Commercial usage would be different.

So, bring back your Commodore avatar or I shall not remove my new Atari 520ST avatar!  It doesn't get much more immoral than this. :-D :-D

Just pulling your leg.  I'll change it..... eventually.  ;-)

Okay, since you changed back to the Commodore logo I've removed the Atari ST one.  You can now look at your screen without fear. ;-)

_LinchpiN_,

Just a follow-up to the Commodore logo discussion.  Someone posted an e-mail message on comp.sys.cbm from an  Ironstone representative. Interesting...

 Hi Richard
 
 We have looked at the Wavestar site and at this time we see no problems.  In the coming weeks we will be publishing the 'official' do's and don'ts at our website.  These will also include all of the new Commodore logos that fan sites and non commercial sites are welcome to feature of their sites. If you have any further specific queries or issues then please do not hesitate to come back to us.

Best Regards

Darren Melbourne
