They already got plastered with a C+D from Pirate Reports once.

They still haven't learned. Liteboard is going to be taken down by Jelsoft.

Best quote on that forum.

I actually have no clue. Their default skin is horrid. I'm seriously tempted to download and install a copy of their software in a password protected directory of my site.

well, looks like they've claimed to have gotten an "OK" from jelsoft and that they are "not stealing code from vB"

But I'm pretty sure alot of the features they are using (I registered), are copyrighted. Big time.

Social Groups are VERY similar. Once they move away from vBulletin Features, I'll be happy.
