This is actually a very good topic to discuss as long as we are civil about it. In the last couple of months I have seen similar cases with others especially with video game and clan forums and websites.

When these clans end up breaking up or members don't see eye to eye they begin to throw at each other a bunch of mumbo jumbo to try and get the other party to pretty much fold or throw in the towel.

Many people especially those who start up sites and forums for clans have no clue of what responsibilities and legalities they are taking on when they decide to build a website/forums.

It would be a good idea for someone to write up an article or something for those who are starting up a site/forum about what they should be aware about before they go on and build one.

I like this discussion, so lets keep it civil so we can help not only the OP but others who might come across this topic.

So, did the OP change it?
