[18:02] webmaster: I really think you need to provide some sort of interpretation of the guidelines for the younger webmasters. The current guidelines consist of cryptic legal terminology even difficult for some of us older webmasters to comprehend. If you want anyone to take you seriously, I suggest you make a "lamans" version of the guidelines.

Leaving it in the hands of the 'experts'? :o) [18:09] redPepper - The URL has to clearly not be an official site. Therefore some word needs to be included that clarifies that. [18:09] how old is lizie [18:10] Webmaster - What would happen if we don't remove the unwanted stuff ourselves? (not that I don't want to) But like if people forget? What would happen then?

Ok, an URL maybe shouldn't use a trademark, or that'll harm the trademark. But it's not the place to put "fansite". An URL should be easy to remember and to type (read: short). What's wrong with "olsengirls.org" for example? is "olsen" a trademark? [18:11] mkaorock - Oh I get it. I missed the meaning. YEs, we are working on that. [18:11] YES OR NO PLEASE [18:11] Webmaster do the twins have good grades so far?

[18:12] Gap_Girl - Write to WEBMASTER@Mary-kateandashley.com and put the words WEB MAIL PROBLEM in the subject , then explain the problem. [18:12] i think thats a bad example.. [18:12] Webmaster - What would happen if we don't remove the unwanted stuff ourselves? (not that I don't want to) But like if people forget? What would happen then? [18:12] -=:Webmaster:=- hmm.. so i've got to unregister www.OlsenDream.com, can't i just put the offical site is ... and im not the Twins no it.. and Man you must type fast :) [18:12] FALCON: Actually, "Olsen" IS a trademark, but not owned by Dualstar [18:12] who is lizzy [18:12] HOW OLD IS LIZZI [18:12] PLEASE [18:12] jessica who is lizzy [18:12] Lathander: perhaps, but i highly doubt it would be enforcible in most cases.. especially regarding this matter.. [18:12] I'M LIKE LIKE BEGGING U [18:12] Mandi she's the twin's sister [18:12] WHEN WILL THERE BE NEW PICKS ON THE SITE/ [18:12] webmaster: i would have to remove the banner that are on my website? and i would have to remove things like the hunger site .com?

You know you can only take over SO many domain names before ICANN will be after Dualstar for Cyber Hoarding [18:13] Falcon: That's another story indeed :o) [18:13] what is everyone talking about? [18:13] pure: last warning [18:13] Hey [18:13] lol [18:13] pure - I have tor review your site specifically and then I can tell you. [18:13] Hi Nabby [18:13] hello [18:13] hi whats up? [18:13] mkaKNiGHT: about what? [18:13] Hello Jessica who is Lizzy [18:13] all who is interested: just "olsen" shouldn't be a trademark. there are many stars named olsen. think of "the olsen brothers" or "Ron Olsen" , ... [18:13] webmaster: thanks [18:13] Webmaster - Why doesn't the issue that we promoted stuff for the twins for free, effect the lawyers and dualstar? [18:13] webbie- when will mka start filming their new show [18:14] WHO IS @mkaNIGHT ? [18:14] Good question T! [18:14] hi [18:14] mkaKNiGHT: about what?

[18:15] If im bothering you i wont ask it any more [18:15] == webmaster == Question #4 of 526: I understand you want to avoid the confusion between fansites and the official site, but most webmasters don't seek to be mistaken for the official site and have a disclaimer on their homepage, often with a link to the official page. Why should we do that in our URLs too? I mean, that's really not the place. An URL is not a description of the website, it's not even its title, most of the time. [18:15] Lath : I still don't believe in it, but heck i'd always wanted to know :o) [18:15] Sarah I know how you feel [18:15] waz up room [18:15] hey [18:15] yay what is everybody talking about in here?

[18:15] WEBMASTER: On you opening site you say "make your site even cooler with the clickboard...." . Do you know that many fans don't experience it this way? [18:15] are mk =a going to be in 7th heaven??? [18:15] nabby: why do you want to know? [18:15] good ideaSarah [18:16] I'm 12 [18:16] yep they are. . . but when?!! [18:16] thanks mandi [18:16] tonight [18:16] Lath - maybe not, but it is an improvement for TTHP :P [18:16] redPepper - Please send me your questions via the e-mail. I can't follow everything you are saying here. [18:16] I was just wondering [18:16] LOL T! [18:16] anyone like hanson? hehe, nah lets not start the music issue! [18:16] What skin is it off the twins back if we have our sites? Seems awefully petty to be going after the loyal fans :o) [18:16] -x-webmaster-x- when will we get more info on london and nickelodeon? will the nickelodeon things be something to do with the movie? love interviews? meet the girls? [18:16] web?????????why r u ignoring me? u just anser redpepper or lathander [18:16] redPEPPER: thats gonna be a LONG email.. :) [18:16] Lathander - I am not sure what you mean. [18:16] lol [18:16] -=:Webmaster:=- hmm.. so i've got to unregister www.OlsenDream.com, can't i just put the offical site is ... and im not the Twins on it.. like i'ts already got. ect ect ect [18:16] Sarah if you can read myhandwriting then write me something [18:16] daisy how old r u [18:16] did they dyht ere hair or is it naturally blonde? [18:16] Webmaster: Hmm, ok. I'll keep my most important questions for this chat. [18:16] Mel: its etc [18:17] what do you mean mandi? [18:17] MarcieMK - Sorry didn't see you,. How are you? [18:17] Mel - Legally that is ALL you have to do [18:17] Webmaster - let me put laths question this way: the clickboard bites to some fans :o) [18:17] DAISY ; A/S/L [18:17] Webmaster, howcome the twins are so skinny? Are they on a strict diet? [18:17] CyberT - There will be more. I understand you have greater creativity than what is presently up. [18:17] no its just the hollywood pressure if you ask me [18:17] WEBMASTER-how old is lizie [18:17] who is everybody in here? [18:17] webmaster- im fine! web when will new pics be up and how' mk and ashley doing?

They only de-cool our pages. Maybe my e-mail is a bit clearly in what I mean (and I all ready apologize if I might sound s bit rude in it) [18:18] DAISY ; WHY DID YOU ASK ME HOW OLD I AM/ [18:18] I don;t think the twins have ever done sports.
