This isn't my field of expertise but the underlying issue is that you have no way of proving in a court of law who it was on the other end of the internet that agreed to the T.O.S. It was someone at X IP address doesn't stand up to scrutiny. There are exceptions to this, however, they are usually found on secure sites which require credit card or other verification and personally identifying information. The average vBulletin forum does not request nor require any such personally identifying information and therefore would never be able to prove who it was that agreed to the terms of service.
