Blue Cavern

Hello all

after many drooling sessions over many many smurf collector's pages off this board (sorry about the mess ). I've decided to start my own page.

here's the link for it.

http://www.geocities.com/smurfaddict/


I haven't started as yet but i'll attempt to get a wriggle on over the next weekend

thanks
heather

Hi Heather

Good luck with the website....it will be nice to see what you have in your collection too including your raw Fafnir.....very nice......and I'm guessing I still very much can't have it?

Look forward to seeing it develop over time

I would like to put links to people's smurf pages but I don't want to do that without getting permission from people. so if you are willing to let me put a link to your page please let me know.

dyar - at least you'll be able to see him on screen now i'd love to give him to you but he's so cute i just can't do it. thanks for the encouragement

Before you start Heather you might want to think about the name of your website as I am pretty sure IMPS has been tracking down websites that use the word "smurf" in them and getting them shut down because of copyright laws.

I'm sure we've discussed it before somewhere on the forum and I vaguely remember reading something about it on Rachel's Blue Imps site which formerly used to be called Smurf Village??? (geez I hope I am remembering this all correctly! I'm sure someone will tell me if I'm not)

It'd be a shame to do all that hard work though and then have to redo it with another site name thats all.

I'm also looking forward to seeing your website and the raw Fafnir sounds great!!

I thought this only goes for TLD's?

Whats TLDs??? Companies??

I thought I'd mention it so we could clear it up about it. Rachel's site was a collector's only one as far as I know and she was asked to change the name. Does anyone know for sure the regulations??

Is TLD Top Level Domain?

I think what Robin means is that it is ok as along as the word smurf isn't between the www. and the .com or whatever extension it is. The ones on geocities are I think subdomains so it is ok to use the word smurf. Correct me if I am wrong anyone! It's good that you mentioned it though Linda because it is always worth checking out.

Yeah, that's what I meant, and while on that subject, I noticed that IMPS did try to register www.smurf.eu, but their application seems to have expired. www.smurfs.eu was registered by someone else, namely Xedoc Holding SA. I'm pretty sure IMPS could give them a hard time if they wanted...

In any case, I myself use smurfs.hfos.net, so it's not a top level domain but a subdomain, with which I can do what I want

Good luck with your web page Heather! can't wait to see what you come up with. Anyone who builds a web page has my respect as I don't think I could manage it..


gerda

You would have a very interesting website Gerda...especially with all of your weird and wonderful items that you have collected.....it would be really cool although I still have the CD of your pics so I can still see many of the great items you have.

Good luck Heather

You can add me Heather

I have a banner you can use on my links page.

I haven't got an official banner yet, I might make one soon..!

You can add my site too Heather....Rach made me a banner although I am not too cluey when it comes to stuff like this......although I do know a lot about Coco Pops for some reason so I guess we can't know about everything that's useful.

Dyar

Yes good luck with your web site because it's really much of work.
I am impatient to see the result and if you have need for councils does not hesitate bus me also I remake my Web site
