@osdever: As you are here, don't you feel that you are deliberately misleading some people into thinking that your server has some connection with this site? Wouldn't it be more honourable to either include a disclaimer saying that there is no connection, or to rename your server to avoid confusion?
Is "osdev" really such an identifying term for this forum? I certainly remember it being use elsewhere more than 10 years ago. I do not recall all the names of the older OSdev websites but they certainly existed. (How old is Bona Fide or the German lowlevel forum? I remember there were others.) There is even a subreddit r/osdev that is in no way related to this forum AFAICS. There is also a stackoverflow tag called osdev.
I think a case on the basis that the name "osdev" is misleading is very hard to make. The logo has not been used for "a while", it has been used for minutes after the server was created; according to the Discord logs, there were less than 20 messages before the logo was changed. Nevertheless, the name of the Discord has been changed to "OS Development Discord" to avoid any further confusion and as Combuster reported, the owner added a remark the the server rules.
