Revision as of 16:11, 18 December 2022
Request
Sorry for coming here. I need you to change your name because your name plagiarized Avid Corporation. It manufactures tools. Please change it to a much better name.
Support
Oppose
Oppose in the world because A: we're just getting used to the AVID name, B: what other names do you have in mind? Going back to CLG Wiki is out of the question, and C: the name "AVID" is not a plagiarism of Avid Corporation's name. I doubt that Avid the tool manufacturer would even file a lawsuit (assuming they'd even know of our existence) given that our purpose is very different from the tool manufacturer; there are many cases of different companies having the same name (for instance, DC the comic brand and DC the shoe brand). 
· Talk · Edits 13:20, 18 December 2022 (UTC)- Oppose in the world. Per Trevor. Theres also another AVID out there that makes audio production products, what are you gonna do there, sue them for 'ripping off'a tool company no one has heard of?.

- I'm kinda surprised he cited the tool company (I'd never even heard of it before, incidentally) and not the much better known AVID anyway. · Talk · Edits 13:29, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
