Well, I've 'done the right thing' and contacted Activision. My request has
been passed to their legal counsel for consideration. Hopefully I hear back
from them.

If the decline my request I'm stuck without a BBS name. So, lets have a
contest. Come up with a non-trademarked name for my system and I'll give you
a free email/news account when I get my UUCP link up and running(lotta good
that'll do you unless you live in Tacoma, Wa <G>).

Something that's technological, and IF related, and doesn't conflict with
a system already registered with internic (do a whois search to test this).

Some of my ideas:
Brass Lantern (lantern.com)
Dungeon Outfitters

Email your ideas to me, and I'll post a summary in a couple of days.
