Just got off a call with Ford's lawyers, I'm working with them to try and keep this forum domain the same, my business domains will have to go which I'm already working on.
I'll let you guys know more as I do. The idea of combing logos will have to go away as I can't do any retail business within the forum.
They are going to contact a Ford rep and get back with me on the forum licensing.
I've also been given some time on the dates as they wanted it all done by 4/7.
Phew!
Nice people so far, I now understand more about the trademark info which I was unaware of. :)

 
What???? Are you telling us that a lawyer was both reasonable AND nice????    I don't believe it.  :)

But, I am really happy this transpired.  Thanks for the update Mike.
 
Will the parts store be in the Vendor area  and what about new product announcements ?

Happy to hear the forum will hopfully  remain the same .

I will just be a vendor on the forum like others, there will be some updates to vendor participation on the site soon.
 
Great news, I think it would make sense for the forum to be allowed as-is. But selling parts under their name, I could see, to some extent, why they don't like you profiting off of their name. Hopefully things keep going well!

So will vendors will be constrained to their respective areas when soliciting new products?

Cause IMHO, that's the way it should be.

Yes vendors will pay new info in their forum for all their products.

Thanks for the update Mike… I know you're busy with this issue on top of everything else.

Figured it was the business aspect… It's great that the forum name apparently stays the same now that it's really catching hold.

Glad that Ford is willing to come to the table with you.
 
Glad to here you are working thru it all. It would have been just as easy to say screw it and shut everything down. This is a very valuable site and would have hated to see it go.
 
Nice to here FORD is trying to work with you  Yeah, the leafy thing should go.  I see the took it off the door decal on the '15 trucks.
 
Logo is being changed for my parts site, I'm waiting for feedback from the lawyers on this site's logo and domain name etc.
