scouk Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 found it under a blokes name on scoobynet just now, connor scotland Ahh ok.. he's on here too.. Up Inverness way IIRC, wonder what he has planned for it? Something which need a fair bit of data transfer by the looks of things Link to comment
scouk Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Images are duff due to the main site being blocked but: Linky << may or may not work.. Just google "scottishscoobies.net" and click the "cached" link next to the first result. Sure enough.. looks like a "rival" Scottish Scoobies group *sigh* Guess he hasn't been impressed with the SIDC Scottish Scoobies... Edited April 25, 2009 by ScoUK Link to comment

RA Dunk Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 fair enough if the guy wanted to start his own club, then thats cool but he could have come up with a different name considering scottishscoobies.co.uk is already in existance Link to comment

scouk Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) doesnt bother me, they are an em "different & younger" lot Yeah but they are branding it as "SCottish SCoobies" instead of specifying scottishscoobies.net http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:w0txI...lient=firefox-a "Scottish Scoobies - Terms of use By accessing “Scottish Scoobies” (hereinafter “we”, “us”, “our”, “Scottish Scoobies”, “http://www.scottishscoobies.net”), " Clearly going to ad to confusion amongst members if both continue to use the same name.. particularly if (hypothetically speaking) one of the groups gets into trouble legally the other group coule be interrogated when it has nothing to do with them.. Not that that would happen, after all both scottishscoobies.co.uk or .net owners are safe an law abiding citizens.. naturally... Edited April 25, 2009 by ScoUK Link to comment
scouk Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 BTW - I know connor will read this thread at somepoint.. Just wan't to clear up that I am not trying to damn him for the site.. I'm all for scottish subaru communities.. there are several different ones across scotland already this is nothing new.. I'm just concerned about the naming and whether or not the choice was deliberate to try and draw in more members from another similarly named group.. But clearly is not just coincidence..

micra_wrc Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 yup I agree and i really really hope that their paths dont cross ours, I'd be really pissed if they interfere with the work that Grant and I have done with the McRae family and Prodrive but I doubt that they are the rallying type... i've always been careful to refer to us as "Scottish Scoobies, a region within SIDC" when doing stuff for the club. I wonder if Phil will be ok with another forum/club using our name... and I too know that Connor and other members signed up to that site will read this thread and dont want to start any arguments. Its just that I share ScoUk's concern about potentially confusing people that are new to the community with 2 forums that are similarly named but have totally different identities and interests Link to comment
wulsey Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I think this guy ( connor scotland) posted on here as a newbie a while back. I always see his name on scoobynet. Link to comment

james666 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 knew about this site.it seems to have attracted the old "saltire scoobies" crowd doesnt bother me, they are an em "different & younger" lot well i can safely say this site has nothin to do with any of the ex saltirescoobies as i pulled the plug on that as most of us got rid of the scoobies Link to comment
