confirmed. I have already talk to an atty, and a very good host about this.
It would also be a valid DMCA complaint, so if anyone complained, then
you would not be up long if you are using a reputable host. according to
the atty and host I spoke with, they agree that the content that is posted
on a forum is owned by that forum, and would violate copyright if you
take it without their permission.

If you can not earn your hard work like the rest of the
forums, then you are in the wrong business, and you will
never be respected as a forum that scraped content to
get your forum going, and people do tell....

I am starting my forum from the ground, so I can avoid
these easy problems that you want to step into, will it
be hard work? Will it take years to get going? It probably
took years for even the biggest forums to get going, and
you have to put your dues in just like they did.
