Is reduser.de dead?

[Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock]

Website is down for days now. I hope it´s not dead. Was a good community.

Probably due to the name

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

I wasn't even aware it existed.

[Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock]

To clarify: reduser.de is (was?) the german RED user forum.

It was a forum using the RED name, but nothing to do with Red or REDUser.

you mean with the brand red or the brand reduser, right?

because on reduser.de it was about RED, discussed from german/austrian/swiss redusers/-owners etc.

i have to call olli, who ran the site.

maybe a change of name can do it...because reduser.de is well too redish.

BTW.

The forum reduser.de never had banners/ads or something like that, it was strictly noncommercial.

Why should RED bother? There are other independant, non-commercial and brand specific forums like www.canoninfo.com (http://www.canoninfo.com) or even www.sonyuserforum.de (http://www.sonyuserforum.de)
I don't think this would cause any trouble.

But canon and Sony have alot of power and their name is known everywhere, so if a site pops up, and is derogatory, or giving out false information everyone knows its a fake, cause sony has their specific sites...

But with red, alot of people are probably trying to get red in a bad name, so they create sites that people think are the real deal, and send out false info, giving red a bad name.... Thus they want to stop that

Yes.

Fairly obvious trademark infringement IMHO.

www.redrental.de seems to have gone too
