I would STRONGLY encourage both parties to start posting here instead of in that group. Continuing to post there is going to make the story even more muddled and confusing.

Not surprised. A group started by someone who was a member here, received a bad guy thread he didn't like, took the name here the following year and ride the coat tales of someone's hard work and name recognition.
It's not like he went and started a business discussion group called "whatever he wants"
He was a member of this reptile site and knew the name and took it from here.
Sounds like a great place. Honest people with great ethics.
The same goes for the other Facebook group I know of. They did basically the same thing. Talk about malice.
They couldn't be a little creative and come up with their own idea. Their own name.
They were all aware of this site, members here, used this site, then decide they would take the name and besmirch the hard work that has gone into maintaining the BOI all these years. IMHO....
People that would support that are no better than people who think it's OK to take others pictures or any other intellectual property.
I agree, not worth it.
