The SnarkPit

There is a Bar opening up here called the SnarkPit. The Image they have is of some english looking chap in safari gear sipping a martini, with a pillow case in hand. They claim to be the only cigar bar in town. The ad in the paper said come with your Snarkish wit and charm, and hang out at the SnarkPit. We make "English Rude" fun.

The 1 and only REAL Snarkpit is here :biggrin:

You must get photos :smile: We had a thread recently discussing the origins
of the word "snark" but I've never heard it combined with "pit" outside
of the Half-Life community.

Posting And You

Lep copyrighted the site contents, not the word "snarkpit", I think.

You gotta trademark brand names, not copyright them. But if they have our tutorials posted, by all means sue.

Even if the name was trademarked, they could still continue to use it
since their trade is completely different from that of this site.
That's how trademark law seems to work in most countries.

a famous example would be Apple computers... the trademark on Apple
belongs to the Beatles' record label (Apple records), but Apple can
continue to use it since their trade is different. (Of course, with
iPod and iTunes they are now toeing the line, legally)

Lep copyrighted the site contents, not the word "snarkpit", I think.

how could he, if it was possible valve would have done it.

Doubtful - its only the name of a map, they wouldn't go through the
hassle of copyrighting/trademarking the name of EVERY single level in
the game.

I can see it now... Reno, Lep and CJ all round a table in the Snarkpit gentlemans club, smoking cigars and drinking brandy, talking about the gould standard, the FTSE stock exchange and the latest tutorial submitted by someone related to the creator of the original Killbox...

Hey it could happen.

Snark Flags? Resurect the topic if there was one!

DIG IT UP! DIG IT UP!

/me shakes his right fist whilst holding his big staff above the grave of the topic...

It has been risen from the dead for you Myrk.. its called National Flags. I still think that if LEP or Reno or someone can code them into the profiles and forums under our avatars that would be sweet.

You'll have to wait for Lep on that one, I ain't no web coder monkee I'm afraid.

I need a new sig

Once again, by the law of natural order, another forum thread has once again veered off topic and evolved into a previous thread, or so forth. Quite odd, ain't it.

By the way, for those grammer creeps out there, "ain't" is a word, it's in the dictionary.

You know, I've actually got nothing to say

If someone wants to get back snarkpit.com we can arrange some sort of deal/sale, I'm sure :biggrin:

Yeah, but waiting for the site to be up due to octagon funding their
crack habits by selling their furniture just isnt worth it. I'm sure
you could have contested it in court and won their ownership over the
name btw.
