Welcome to Facerocker.com!
You might be familiar with the FreddieW YouTube Channel or maybe heard the Facerocker podcasts, or maybe distantly remember this domain as being something related to those guys who make online short videos...
You'd be right! (Freddie here, by the way). Way back in 2009, we started this site and starting using the name Facerocker. However, our lawyer buddy informed us that Facebook had a trademark on literally any site with social media capability with the word "Face" in it. While their intent is probably to cut down on the brief trend of porn sites advertising themselves as "The Facebook of (fill in the blank here)", it also granted them the side effect of being able to potentially sue us and this site for trademark infringement. And, as our lawyer buddy pointed out, even though the possibility of that is quite remote, continuing with Facerocker is a bit like playing Russian Roulette - odds are you'll be fine, but if you're not, it's bad. Really bad.
As we don't have the army of lawyers Facebook has, we decided to play it safe and instead, go with another name - RocketJump.
So head on over to RocketJump.com instead and have a look at what we got going on!
