VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

I will quote relevant excerpts from Invision TOS:

The content of a board is defined as posts, messages, links, email, uploaded files, usernames, or any other user created data (herein called Content).

...

You may not post, upload, link to, or email any Content that contains, promotes, gives instruction about, or provides prohibited Content. As the creator of a board, you are responsible for ensuring that no prohibited Content exists on your board and that no part of your board violates the Terms of Service. Prohibited Content includes any Content that breaks any local, state, county, national or international law. Prohibited Content also includes: (a) Content that infringes upon any rights [ex. MP3s and ROMs] (including, but not limited to, copyrights and trademarks); (b) Abusive, threatening, defamatory, racist, or obscene; (c) Viruses or any other harmful computer software; (d) False Information or libel; (e) Spam, chain letters, or Pyramid schemes; (f) Gambling or Illicit drugs; (g) Terrorism; (h) Hacking or cheating for internet/online games; (i) Warez, Roms, CD-Keys, Cracks, Passwords, or Serial Numbers; (j) Pornography, nudity, or sexual material of any kind; (k) Excessive profanity; (l) Invasive of privacy or impersonation of any person/entity; and (m) Hacking materials or information.

...

InvisionFree does not preview any Content transmitted but reserves the right to check any board for prohibited content. InvisionFree has the right to access any board and its related Content and delete, edit, or restrict access to any Content. You agree that InvisionFree may disclose any Content to: (a) Fulfill what is required by law or is needed to comply with legal processes; (b) To prove a violation of these terms; or (c) To protect the rights (including copyrights), property, or personal safety of anyone.

===

Now, go back over the old GAFF posts, and you will see the violations.
