Well, it looks like a great forum is gone. Another forum says that Festool Owners Group received a legal letter from Festool asking them to shut the forum down.

Dang...I'll have to go put the pitchforks and torches away.Hopefully this thread won't turn into the "hang'm high" garbage that the tread on that "other forum" turned into. I really can't believe how quick folks are to call in a lynch mob based on one side of the story. There's always two sides to every story, the truth generally lays in the middle some were. I'm sure there is more to this story, hopefully it will come out and more reasonable heads will prevail.

I would suggest reading this... Explains the "rest of the story"...
The guy who runs FOG shut it down himself, I do not know, but the more I read on this, it looks like a bit of a temper tantrum I could be dead wrong on that.If the forum was not owned by Festool, it puzzles me how they could force it to shut down. Ye, know, First Amendment and all that.
A very unfortunate situation all around.
Cheers!
I cannot start a site called www.metallica-goods.com and not expect the lawyers for Metallica to not come knocking.

I really do not understand why he took the site down, I would have just figured out another domain name that does NOT use "Festool" in it, and moved the site.
