If the board is physically IN the members' area, no non members would have access to posting, since the members' area is already protected by my credit card processor's script. I don't care if expired website members remain "active" in the vBulletin database - in fact I would prefer, because then if they rejoin they can get in to post with no hassle.
My concern was that if the board was outside of the members' area (which would facilitate general public's reading of it) my customer service person would - on a daily basis - have to manually add any new website members to vBulletin's database and remove any website members whose memberships had either declined or been canceled. THIS is what I wanted to avoid completely.
But - again - if the board is in the members' area, the processor's access script will handle access to the board which is all I care about. Then the only issue remains - how do we write this static "archive" of the board to a location other than the default?
