If it wasn't for MAME, this board would not exist. When I put MAME on a cabinet, I do it out of respect for the years of work that others put in so that I may have a multigame arcade cabinet. I like to see MAME on a cabinet. People are showing their loyalty and support to the creators of the tool. How many people buy Sports apparel with their team logo? Our team is MAME folks, and they work hard so we can play hard.

That said, a lot of people put MAME on there cabinet because it is thing to do. They don't think that it holds the same meaning.

I'd like to know what Howard thinks of putting MAME on a cab. People are partly paying him homage for his work when they display the logo.

I made this a long time ago when Subzero (yeah, I know) started an anti-mame artwork thread. In reality, a lot of people agreed with him. I find it ironic and amusing that we are now fighting to keep the logo that everyone is sick of!

At least laugh at the irony that people will now get what they were wishing for, less MAME artwork! 

Don't get me wrong, I still love the MAME logo. I wanted it on the BYOAC tokens, and I wasn't gonna buy the MAME tokens unless it was on there.

ROTFL. He is getting a trademark. All MAME has to do is become GAME, HAME, DAME, RAME, SLAME, BAME, or, god forbid, LAME, and boom, he has zero power again.

I know you're just making a point, so take this as being directed at lloyd, to "clear things up" for him  ::)

It won't ever be changed to LAME.  LAME is currently a GNU project, and I'm not sure what the "registration" refers to, but it was - 1999/11/17

....in case Mr Foley wanted to trademark THAT, too  ::)

The question is, can he do what starroms hasn;t been able to do?

DrewKaree:
He's certainly getting a lot of pre-publicity for his "service".

I can only hope Mr Jobs shuts down his proposed "service" for trademark infringement  ;D
