it was snark. He most likely uses Adblock Plus, like I do, which eliminates those pesky ads that often slow down loading.

I could use a deal on some fruit trees though...now that this site is in the fruit business, maybe Phil can hook me up.

I don't see any ads because I use the "Low Graphics - Dialup Style (no gallery)" choice in the "Quick Style Chooser" located at the bottom left of every page. I use Safari and no other software to block ads.:cool:

TheDon 04-07-2009 04:19 PM

every now and then I get some ads and lately they are peachy.

I have said in the past I would actually pay for a membership with some nice upgrades that go along with it.. but now... Not really sure

Looks like I found the reason for the name change.

http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/html/2008/d2008-1712.html

It appears that Daimler AG got pissed because the site used the "Mercedes" name to sell parts for cars that compete with Mercedes-Benz and for "commercial interests" that have no connection to Mercedes-Benz.

From the above link.

Quote:

Further evidence would have been helpful, but in the final analysis the legitimate elements of the website (such as the forum, and the sale of MERCEDES parts, and perhaps afterparts for MERCEDES automobiles) cannot redeem the flagrant use of the MERCEDES trademark to sell parts for a wide range of competing automobiles and the other commercial activities that have no connection with Mercedes Benz. The Respondent has chosen to use a successful website for an illegitimate purpose. He has chosen to increase the website traffic and his sales and revenue, by offering parts for a wide range of automobile brands, as well as other products. In doing so, he has forfeited any rights or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name that may once have existed (as recognised in the Prior Decision) and may have continued to exist if the website had remained confined to spare parts for MERCEDES automobiles.

What's the reward for losing a WORLD WAR II? You get to tell the winners, AMERICANS what to do or what they can say and cancel out the Constitution of the United States of America and the #1 or First Amendment to our Constitution. Unbelievable!!! And on top of that you lose a war and put AMERICAN CAR COMPANIES out of business and use AMERICAN LAWYERS to do the bidding for the losers of the WORLD WAR.

No wonder they call us "DUMB" Americans. That is what we are "if" we let this go by without a fight, FREE SPEECH. This site "never" said it was affiliated with Daimler AG, nor did Daimler AG pay Mr. Wood to finance this site ($50 Millions would be a good price to buy this site, I think), when Daimler AG just stole Chrysler's secrets and then hung Chrysler out to dry. Detroit is all but dead and Stuttgart and Berling are swinging and swimming in the DOUGH and laughing at us "law abiding" (to our detriment and destruction) DUMB, Americans. What's the point of winning a WORLD WAR, if the losers of that war can come back and "dictate" something to us, "ANYTHING"; namely Germany and Japan? I know Italy is in there too, but Italy knows how to behave as a defeated country of a World War II. You don't overcome until you win the war on the battle field, not through some lawyers you pay to represent you in a court, where American judges making the decisions make less than $400,000.00 a year, an amount Daimler AG executives pay tips with.

Come to think about it, we are peaches and the name is appropriate; the American peaches variety. Mr. Wood had to give ownership of the site to Daimler AG, too! Unbelievable!!!! That is enough to start a whole nother World WAR with these idiots from over there in Germany. Who do they think they are playing with? This ain't Saudi Arabia!! This is the United States of America, home to the development of the INTERNET and winner of World War II! If Daimler AG has that much money, THEN PAY for the lives lost in that WAR with that money! America "OWNS" GERMANY and "JAPAN". I'm sorry! I'm upset. I thought Mr. Wood had sold out to these losers. I didn't know they "took" his property and ALL OF OUR contributions to figure out these cheaply made cars called mercedes.

What a stupid uninformed bunch of drivel. xxx xxxx xxxx xxx xx xxxx xxx and then you might want to research your assertions sentence by sentence. [first part of sentence I self edited to avoid any infractions]
You are trying to fit a scenario into an opportunity to espouse your crappage.
I'm so amazed by your above fine work that I am too astounded to collect my thoughts very well, and certainly isn't worth the effort!
I'm floored by your brilliance........ :rolleyes::rolleyes:

BenzDiesel 04-07-2009 07:59 PM

You are the spy who been working for AG and turned Mr. Wood in?
 
I'm American. What are you?

The brilliance of your retort did not come as a surprise.;) Your own words speak for themselves. I will waste no more time with you. :rolleyes:

I am a new person to this forum. I found it on Google. If another new person is searching on Google for Mercedes repair or parts they might miss this forum. I hope Peach Parts is being used temporarily to send Daimler lawyers on a highway to confusion. Question for today would be, Why are there Peach Tree ads on the header of this form?

I never would have thought someone would associate a domain name change with the assassination of a Archduke, or the invasion of Poland.:rolleyes:

Daimler, by the way, is a publicly traded company with many thousands of American investors I imagine... Perhaps a few shopforum members have their stock. Does that make them part of this new Nazi-like regime bent on destroying America you speak of? Don't forget the Americans working at factories and dealers in the US as well... Maybe you should start building your bunker now before its too late. :rolleyes:

Your accusation of Jimmy is so ridiculous its laughable, reminding me of the idiocy of McCarthyism. The American car industry is in the toilet because they have been building horrible cars for 30 years now, while unionized employees got too greedy slowly sucking the life out of the place.

Either you've been encased in carbonite for the last 50 years, or have no understanding of globalization and how publicly traded corporations work.

Is it ironic that the last person that happened to was named Hans?????? :P:P
Nicely explained Tyler. Very sentient points!!
