what does it boil down to? locking down the board to all but existing members and go on a vouche only system???

The problem is to get in front of a judge is going to cost someone thousands of dollars in lawyers and legal fees that virtually no one they go after has- they aren't going to sue Facebook over this because they know Facebook's lawyers will laugh this out of court... but for the average forum owner who makes little if any money on their forum- we can't spend $10,000 on a team of lawyers... he knows we'll settle for $2,000 or $3,000 rather than risk getting a $75,000 judgement against us potentially ruining our real lives over an internet "hobby."
