A couple of points:
1. Bearshare forums use to exist, however a lawsuit forced their closure, these fporums were ruled by overlord moderators like Beethoven, with people like AaronWalkhouse (can't remember if he was a moderator) helping. Aaron got special mention in one of the versions... can't remember which one though
2. therefore Linking to these forums isn't a bright idea legality wise
