    May want to read this…

    Domain Policy

    Same goes with WordPress as well.

    In response, good job modifying the theme colors. In my opinion the forums could still use some work (margins on the sides need 20px), and the missing BuddyBar at the top urks me.

    The forum need indeed some more work, indeed more margins and stuff) .. But that’s a job for tomorrow ;)

    And about the domain name, there are many website’s out on the net with: “wordpress” in their name. And it is not a protected name by law ;)

    And .. I dont see the problem actually …

    Thankfully for us both, this isn’t a debate. :)

    For various reasons related to our WordPress trademark, we ask if you’re going to start a site about WordPress or related to it that you not use “WordPress” in the domain name. Try using “wp” instead, or another variation. We’re not lawyers, but very good ones tell us we have to do this to preserve our trademark. Also many users have told us they find it confusing.

    If you already have a domain with “WordPress” in it, redirecting it to the “wp” equivalent is fine, just as long as the main one users see and you promote doesn’t contain “WordPress.”

    “WordPress” in sub-domains is fine, like wordpress.example.com, we’re just concerned about top-level domains.

    We’ve told this to anyone who has ever asked us, we just wanted to make it public so more people could be aware of this policy.

    I applaud your efforts, and hope your intention is at least to make the theme available publically.

    I’m keeping this topic open for now, but it’s on my watch list because it’s already breaking some rules. If it gets too rowdy in here I’m locking it up. :)

    You’re right with the low sure :)

    but you’ll be never linked in any wp, bp, bb and you’ll never take into consideration by automattic sites :)

    (cause you’re not ok with the wp policy)

    “I’m keeping this topic open for now, but it’s on my watch list because it’s already breaking some rules. If it gets too rowdy in here I’m locking it up. :)

    What rules did i broke, just that i wrote down, that i edit and integrate bbpress into a buddypress theme ?

    “(cause you’re not ok with the wp policy) “

    There are many website’s out on the net who arent: “oke” with the WP policy (what ever that should be) …

    I dont see the problem, and the only who makes a problem out of it, are you guys ;)
