Looking through my account there, I registered there in 2010 to probe things out. Four months after I registered here, actually. I made a player, but I never was able to stick it out. They simmed with NHL 2004 at the time, and things moved kind of slowly. Also this place was and is my only true love, so ain't nobody got time for that. They really hated that we used to use unoriginal logos. I somewhat reached out to them in 2011 to see if they were interested in affiliating, and they were not at all.
Anyway, to address the rest of this thread, I know this is resolved and all, but I'll put in my two cents anyway. The logos do indeed look similar enough that one could make a case that one was ripped from another. We don't condone that sort of thing (Although, in the case of the VHL using one of our banners, I really didn't mind that, since they're a GM league). But the fact is that the only thing I personally really know now is that our Bears logo is at least ~3.5 years old, and the creator, apparently @Koradek, hasn't truly been around for quite some time now. He didn't seem like the stealing type, since he was so gifted a graphics dude I don't see why he would need to, but who really knows. If Mizu really was offended and had a reasonable case that it was ripped, then I'd say maybe making a new logo would be a reasonable possibility. But since he isn't and there isn't one, and no one has even noticed this for at least 3.5 years, this seems like an odd thing to crusade about.
But, for what it's worth, I think the TBN has been around longer than we have, oddly enough. I don't know about now, but they were a significantly different style of sim league than us. Toswammi used to be a regular there, in fact. Obviously any league that can last more than a few years must have their shit together. Kudos to them.
