As many might remember, Full Count Baseball via Mike Williams and myself hosted the predecessor board but had to close it when some of the exchanges between contributors grew totally out of hand. I sought legal advise and was told that while it was highly unlikely that I or the company would be drawn into any litigation, it was still a possibilty that I could be named as a co-defendant on the grounds I provided the forum where possible libel or slander occurred. Of course, with so many more bloggers on the scene these days this new statute probably would preclude such a possibility.
