Hi,
the law in Germany is not very forum-owner-friendly. Currently we can be made responsible for what users write. Totally different from the US.

Even worse with blogs. IMHO blogs are microsites within your portal, owned by the users and the users should be responsible for what they write in their blogs. But that`s only possible if you make clear who`s responsible for the blog by adding an imprint to it. November 2000 to June 2001 fawny archives (Joe Clark: fawny.org):: What happened to the blog?

Thats why vBulletin blogs need an imprint feature. If a user wants to use a blog, they have to enter all the data necessary for their blogs imprint according to the german law. After that the imprint should not be changeable by the user. Otherwise the user could write something illegal and remove the imprint afterwards - and you could get sued for what he has written. Seems like ridicolous nonsense but that`s the way it is over here.
