If I recall correctly, they don't need to buy the domain off the registrants; they can claim it.
Or show good faith perhaps and license out the use under strict conditions. This way a fan site is still possible, and there's a mutual understanding, then XFLtd therefor protected their trademark.

How does one put this so that it is clear yet inoffensive!
XenForo is a limited company, registered in the UK. The company has a website and a distinctive logo. The company also now has a history, which is currently short. Therefore the company can demonstrate the right of trademark.
With this in mind, the company wants to protect that trademark, understandably. Therefore, we are not giving permission for XenForo to be used, as part of a site name or domain name (or any name!).
Clearly this has potential to become (or has already become) an emotional matter and really, it is quite simple. The point is simply about protecting XenForo trademark. We would be negligent if we did not protect our trademark; for the benefit of our customers future. No one wants to become involved in wrangling over trademark issues, for obvious reasons and we ask that we are not put in a position to have to consider whether to take action.
Not really..Its not trademark infringement to have 'XenForo' written down. If that was the case then every tech news site would be sued by MS, Apple, Google, Yahoo, etcif you use the xenforo name in some text in the site, let's say you have a "xenforo" section on your forum, that's the same thing.

Thank you. I will study this subject more.Not really..Its not trademark infringement to have 'XenForo' written down. If that was the case then every tech news site would be sued by MS, Apple, Google, Yahoo, etc
So in english:
xenforoblah.com Infringement
xenblah.com or xfblah.com ok?
so long as the full xenForo name not used in domain?
Finally, I want to point this out, big, loud and proud:
You can use a trademarketed word, if you're not in their market.
Yes, that's fine.So in english:
xenforoblah.com Infringement
xenblah.com or xfblah.com ok?
so long as the full xenForo name not used in domain?
Not really sure how letting the domains expire (because thats what would happen) would help. It would allow a domainer to pick them up and sit on them.RickM, we will be proud of you, when you hand over all those domains to Kier (free-of-charge) immediately.
For the benfit of the XenForo-project and for the benefit of this community.
And believe me, you will be proud for yourself as well !
Maybe you will even get a free copy of XF-software, because you have been so kind to secure those domains for Kier.
Thanks !
Makes sense to me.
And still there is Rupert Murdoch claiming to own the Sky in Skype. Silly I know. But pretty much the same (likely or not) problem with Xen®.
