Sorry, I did that once and the topic got binned by a mod and it was explained to me that there was some brouhaha between this site and the magazine a few years back.

There was a lawsuit (or threat of a suit). This site once had a different name....eReferee.com, IIRC. The magazine claimed they had owned the term "Referee". I don't know if a court decision confirmed that or if the site just chose to change their name to avoid the expense.

As I recall it was agreed by the parties or mandated by the court that eReferee.com was too similar to the trademarked Referee because they competed in the same market.
Kinda like if you opened a fast food franchise & called it eMcDonald's.
