--- Quote ---Of course, we could also just go ahead with Invision. The lack of response from tech support suggests the likelyhood of them noticing what's actually ON the board to be nil.

My experiences with IF agree that they are likely not to notice too much. Their TOS says that the boards are PG-13 or 14, but I've seen boards that are R and up. So long as one doesn't bring attention to themselves or anything, they really won't notice or care.
--- Quote ---This is the part that caused me to raise an eyebrow:
--- Quote ---3.4 Rights to Posted Content:
Any content uploaded or posted to InvisionFree may be displayed on a board by InvisionFree. You grant InvisionFree the right to display and store the Content you provide.
--- End quote ---
Now, I *know* they have that in there as a "if you post it, we can display it" thing and not "all your words belong to us," but I wanted to make sure.
What do folks think? Go with Invision, or find another way?

Again, even if they do notice, they're not trying to take rights of what's written, just show that they're allowed to do what the board was intended to do. Let the stuff on it be shared. Not the rights to it.
At least, that's my understanding and it's proven true so far.

I love legalease...on one hand, they seem to say anything on the site belongs to them. On the other, they say that you're just giving them non-exclusive rights so they can post it. I think the first mention is refering to their own stuff, but they're not specific.
The only reason I'm being paranoid about this stuff is that I don't want you guys (and me) to be screwed over when we try to publish.
