MODERATORS
They didn't have a license, true. What I was referring to was them getting sued happy, for good reason in a lot of cases, because people were slapping "Gary Gygax's D&D" on homebrew modules and trying to sell them. Got them a lot of bad publicity, and they ended up selling.
@AngryCommieKender As far as I'm aware, that happened far earlier than the era you cited. I've heard that people were calling them "T$R" and "They Sue Regularly" in the early 90s, before the general public exploded onto the Net.
