Hobby forums such as OrchidBoard, SlipperTalk, Big Leaf Orchids, and many others provide an invaluable source of information to hobbyists. Imagine where we would be without these forums?
Unfortunately, another hobby forum is under attack by Monster Energy for copyright infringement for using the word "Monster" and the letter "M" as part of their own copyrighted name and logo.
Monster Fish Keepers is under attack by Monster Energy Beverage inc. and has been issued a cease and desist order with a laundry list of demands by Monster Energy which will put the forum out of business. This is a clear case of bullying tactics by a larger corporation that is simply trolling the Internet for the word "Monster" and threatening legal action against anyone where they got a "hit".
Additionally, individuals who posted to Monster Energy's Facebook page expressing concern over these tactics had their posts removed and any dissenting individuals were banned, myself included, which is a clear violation of our constitutional right to free speech in a public forum.
Please help support the forum by spreading tbe word and by visiting the following site and taking action by signing the petition or contacting Monster Energy and expressing your support for Monster Fish Keepers.

I encourage all to become involved. It could just as easily be us here at OB.
Thank you.
Cheers.
