Newbie Cuber + 8x8?

[Gabo]

I'll stop buying 'Knock Offs' when V cubes start selling adjustable, modified versions of there puzzles (and drawings).

And when those cubes cost less my entire colection XD $999.95 for a single cube is ridiculus ...

You should apply the same logic to V Cube 2 then.

Well obviously "[my] logic" was incomplete, but I wouldn't have any problem with that . 2x2 is stupid

V-cubes has a patent for a cubic 8x8?!

The shape doesn't matter. The only thing V will care about is the mech.

The only thing that matters is whether the puzzle is a blatant copy of the patented V-cube mechanism or not. I'm going to be perfectly honest here, I do not actually have a clue what the mechanism of the SS8 is. But I know for a fact that if it was a unique design I would know about it, so I'm assuming that it is essentially just a v-cube mechanism, which makes it a knock-off, which makes discussing it banned on these forums.

which makes discussing it banned on these forums.

I thought discussion about where to buy knockoffs was not allowed?

1c. Respect Others' Intellectual Property
Do not promote stolen/copied/knockoff products. Most puzzle makers have patents on their products, and it is against the law to steal or remake their idea as your own. Discussion about where to buy knockoffs is not allowed.

Discussion is allowed; promoting is not. So any links to where to buy are not allowed; and anything else that promotes it.

Edit: The only thing not allowed I am seeing in this thread are a few links to Champion's store, but besides that, I believe, everything else is following site rules.

Is discussing them not promoting them?

That definition does not rule out the possibility that something will be promoted by discussing it. For example, what if you are discussing a promotion?

That doesn't mean that something must be promoted if discussed.
