Hello everyone! As many people know, the new Creative Server has been announced, and some of you may also know that we did voting a while ago to choose the name for it, and BB won majorly.
Long story short, I woke up a few days ago to a giant, yellow envelope in my mail addressed to myself, with EscapeRestart.com listed right under it.
To my surprise, it wasn't an award for being the best CA ever (lol!), but a very real and very serious Cease and Desist letter from a company called AppOnBoard, ends up we were infringing on a copyright on their program called BuildBox! (Aren't laws neat)
The timing really seemed perfect, considering the name has been out in the public for a while now, and I'm hit with it a few days before the official release.
The good news is, I don't plan on delaying the release because of this! I still plan on opening at the original time and date posted on the previous thread.
Bad News, the current name we chose is 100% not available. I've been kinda stressed over it and have been scrambling to find a new name, but I cannot think of anything.
For now, my best option is slapping the Create name on it and appending a Renewed / Revamped tag, or even a fancy v3. There was also some people mentioning naming it to Blocktopia, as another callback and it fits quite well in context, let me know what you guys think. I really wanted the server to have a special name, but my staff team and I can't come up with anything that feels as catchy besides the two listed, and the previous chosen name we can't use.
I hope you all understand, and I also want to say that it is in no way the companies fault for this. We were just very unaware that a copyright was on the name, and we will make sure in the future that we look more into that.
