This is an excellent hack. We've been using it for some time now. I am also a lawyer, and I can attest to the fact that this is perfectly legal, whether or not you notify your users that you are using this, as the Electronic Privacy Act grants certain inalienable protections to private property, such as web sites and bulletin board systems. Anyone who thinks to the contrary obviously has no understanding of current laws in the United States. The European Union's Common Policy on Privacy is, also, very protective of private property, much more so than personal privacy, which for the purposes of visiting other web sites and providing your information, is considered public domain.

Question: Is there an easy way, either through phpMyAdmin, or maybe through an add-on to this script, to search through private messages for a certain word of phrase? Our board has strict rules against promoting our competitor's products. Thanks!

All the best,
