I have seen Sharky around, not much here though but in the day on another big board. I picked a pretty generic name though, wish I would have been more unique when starting out

Voodoo · 08-30-2007, 04:37 PM

Hey Sharky,

Can you review one of my sites please?

Video Rob · 08-30-2007, 04:39 PM

scottybuzz · 08-30-2007, 04:41 PM

I can gaurentee you 100% noone will ever make a review site called scottybuzzreviews.com

Meloman · 08-30-2007, 04:48 PM

I have to agree with Sharky on this. He is actually an old school vet and the people that do know him, know him as Sharky.

I had someone use Meloman once and luckily I was able to convince him to change names. How many Meloman's do u know in adult?

This is a small industry...over time we all know each other.

Sharky does go to conventions and is well known.

While I agree it's not a completely uncommon name...he has been well know as Sharky for 11 years! That has to count for something!

If the other Sharky has been using that name for a while unknowingly then I might let it go...but if it's brand new I'd politely do what I can to make him change names.

Just my

Thanks Meloman!

My beef is that my name is being used by someone who doesn't even call himself Sharky in the industry.

I'd like to hear from him. Heck, maybe we can work something out benefiting us both;-)

Sharky is not a name like Brad or Mike. It's a moniker in this industry that I have held for 11+ years.

Used to be a real popular tech site, similar to anandtech.com. Looks like they kinda let it fall apart though.

Maybe he just thought sharky was a cool name.

When creating boards I always reserve all the names I can think of that I don't want taken before it goes public.

pussyluver · 08-30-2007, 11:00 PM

I own a domain with the word sharky in it. It had nothing to do with you. Since you are sensitive about the word sharky, would you be interested in buying it.

Did you trade mark the word Sharky?

I've been pussyluver for a long time. Sadly others have used the same nick on many different boards.

I offered to buy the domain, even offered to buy the software and help you find a new domain. Your site isn't even launched yet.

Hell, I even offered to buy the software for another project we are working on so as to give you even more $$.. lol

Sharky, you were trying to "TELL" me to sell SR to you. I said I wasn't interested, you continued to get more annoyed. Then I asked what you were willing to offer me, you gave me lowest possible offer you could. Which was really quite funny.

As for "making my life hell" as you so put it -- from now on, bring it on. You BIG guys think you own this industry, just because you got some money behind you, doesn't mean your going to get everything you want.

If you had offered me something decent then I might have thought about selling you the domain, but that never happened.

Best of luck.

Tom_PM · 08-31-2007, 08:32 AM

Thats a shame. As much as people might see it purely as whining and such, the simple fact does remain that sharky is extremely well known and liked and respected in this industry. It would have been nice to see some arrangement made.

Dollarmansteve · 08-31-2007, 08:53 AM

I guarantee that joe surfer on sharkysreviews.com doesn't know or give a flying fuck who 'sharky' actually is, regardless if the webmaster / GFY community knows.

So, how is the site owner profiting from the alleged illicit use of the name 'sharky'? What is the 'sharky' brand? How does alleged infringement on the name 'sharky' provide any benefit to the site owner? Is there proof of malicious intent in the site owner registering the name 'sharkysreviews' and developing it?

I agree that it would have been a cute PR move for the site owner to sell the domain to sharky, but there is certainly no obligation legally or otherwise. If anything, this thread has given the site more exposure than it would have ever received under normal circumstances, lol.

Kiwigirl · 08-31-2007, 08:54 AM

Bummer! Unfortunately this kind of shit happens all the time in both mainstream and adult. Do u have the name trademarked? If not you should consider it and then this person who is using it would have to give up the name or face the consequences. Or simply contact this person and see what agreement you can come to. Not everyone in this industry is a jackass intentionally. LOL

Seems like a pretty generic name to me, maybe not as generic as Brad or Tom or something (Dansmovies.com is owned by a guy named Rami?!?!), but still pretty generic. I don't think his surfers are going to say "hey, isn't Sharky also a designer in the online adult industry?!?!"

You don't see Jman and Jayman starting silly threads like this...

Please refrain from using 'SR'. It's commonly used for StatsRemote.

Interesting, so right after he says he'll "make your life hell" you start receiving notices that your domain was inserted into a child porn emailing, things that make you go hmmm.

Please don't insinuate I have done anything fo the sort. Joke around all you fucking want, but DO NOT include my name when menitoning child porn or anything of the sort.

Best of luck to him using the name Sharkysreviews. Just let it be known I am not involved.

So it's entirely possible that someone just has the same nick name.... as "sharky" isn't exactly the most unique name ever.

i agree with everything but the 99%

i would say well over 50% of the online adult industry either visit gfy or have employees/contacts who do.
