[games_access] The Able Gamer

[Barrie Ellis]

And if it's any consolation my partner thought the two sites didn't look like each other at all... Thought the names were a bit similar - that was it.

It definitely in my mind doesn't detract from the superb work you do. I know what AbleGamers.com is and stands for. It's a bloody good thing.

  I think the name and front-end presentation, on reflection, are a bit close to yours for comfort. I suppose if someone set up a web-site called OneSwitch.ca or something like that - I'd feel a bit agrieved myself.

  It does seem unlikely that he'd never seen your site before but not completely impossible. On the other hand - and a bit trite perhaps - but immitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that.

  I can certainly see the difference between the sites - but I can understand others confusing the two sites.

  Have a word with the guy once you've had a good think.

    This is a total knock-off on the site we run AbleGamers.com. I do not mean to sound like an ass, but the brand is something we have been working on for well over 4 years, and I am not pleased that a site has stolen the name...

    I am all for people talking about this issue, and I love that there are more sites out there, but this is not cool to take our name like this.

      Think we should try to get him on board - seems to be doing a fantastic job.
