That's an interesting legal analysis...

In any event there's absolutely nothing saying that someone can't be asked to agree to the rules even if they skip the vbulletin rules page. Many sites find the default registration cumbersome and detrimental to their conversion rates so they edit the templates for the data capture page and add a TOS link or box there.

Not sure this user wants to do that but it's definitely not unheard of to change the system around.
