I never used Webs so I don't know. There won't be legal issues for using Omni since the site is not copyrighted, but it might give you a bad image among the community. Also if you start your own calc site, make sure it doesn't have a forum/irc channel, because I doubt it will work well. You could maybe write a home page where you have all your calc games and tools published in one place, maybe.

That's not blatant copyright infringement at all!
Do we have a copyright on omnimaga? It is stealing of a name and it is definitely not a good idea, but Im not sure if copyright infringement would hold since we'd need an international copyright(I think)

No, it isn't technically copyright infringement, it's just bad taste.

Better.  I still don't like it for the mere reason that it was started with the idea of replacing Omnimaga in mind.

I have to agree with sir here. This is an all around bad idea. If you wan tto change things about omni suggest it and if people like it i can happen. Creating your whole new version is very problematic

It's not a good idea to copy omnimaga since a lot of work has been done to add new features using mods for the smf based website. Having a version of omnimaga created straight off a webs template is like trying to 'cheapify' omnimaga.org complex design and webpages.

Webs? Webs has been getting more and more restricted ever since they started having a new premium plan and design. There was a 20 page limit. Now when i discovered when i deleted a page off my website: http://jhgenius01.webs.com and tried to add one, it said there was a 8 page limit!!! how are u meant to create a website with 8 pages? I am planning to move my website off webs and just create it purely off dreamweaver or a phpbb/smf theme like omnimaga.org is. Webs severly restricts the limit you can go to make your website professional and even more than ever now.

It would be great if there was some copyright on the name omnimaga

We wouldn't have a very strong case. We are in no way money making so we can' say it infringes on our business. We might get something but it wouldn't be worth the attorney costs. It might make them take down their site though whccihc would be a very good effect

Good luck with your site. I do not think it is a good idea, but if you want to do it you have every right to succeed wonderfully at it

You may want to make it different than Omnimaga, like focus on a certain type of program or project.
