I think that first of all, you should REQUIRE a link to their homepage and maybe hack it so if they want, it will be private to everyone except mods and admins. This would probably help you out.
As for the members themselves, maybe require that you have an account on this site with their liscence info entered in....i dunno, that's quite a predicament, how does UBBDEV handle this? Maybe if you guys get sanctioned officially by jelsoft, you can have a liscence info or confirmation code field. IE: jelsoft writes a script that will generate a code for you based on your liscence info and they could have a semi private script that will decode it and check it against the user database and tell you without disclosing any info about the actual key....you could also hack it so each key entered into your forums has to be unique per user...
I dunno, just some thoughts...btw, if you guys need help with site design/matinence/moderating I am glad to help, I love vB and I'm starting to REALLY learn it.
