Important site news please read

Alright here's the scoop folks.

I was contacted by the NFL a few days ago and they had a big problem with our highlight videos. Warpathfilms.com is no more and there will be no more highlight videos supplied or hosted by this site. I know it stinks but what can you do? Also, please do not post any links to youtube that feature any sort of Redskins videos as we will be forced to take them down, no questions asked. That also goes for those homemade highlight videos that get passed around, please do not post them here.

Also, we can no longer use any Redskins logos on the site which includes our banners and site skins. We're in the process of coming up with some new designs so please bear with us. We're not sure what will happen with the avatars as I'm waiting for clarification as to whether we can use player pictures. In the meantime I had to remove any avatars that had a Redskins logo incorporated into it, so that's why some avatars disappeared the last few days.

Finally, and this is the big one, we can't use the domain name redskinswarpath.com anymore. We'll be switching back to thewarpath.net in the next few days, so be sure to change your bookmarks accordingly.

Well, I think that's it. It stinks but what are you gonna do. It's not like I'm in the position to butt heads with the NFL and any of our attorneys here would probably agree that when it comes to intellectual property, we were probably in clear violation of that. The NFL doesn't take this stuff lightly and we had no choice but to comply. They were very cooperative in allowing us to make the necessary changes without pursuing legal action, so for that we should be grateful.

So again, the major change is with the domain name. The NFL will be taking ownership of redskinswarpath.com in the next few days so that domain will no longer point here. We'll back to thewarpath.net as our main domain name, so be ready. I'll give the site a heads up before the change goes through.

Thanks.
