Out of the TOS, only the following hasn't changed much in several years and is probably not specific to GAF
[...] you will not use NeoGAF to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.
B. Considering the real-time nature of NeoGAF, it is impossible for us to review messages or confirm the validity of information posted. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the contents of and are not responsible for any messages posted. We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message. The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of this forum or any entity associated with this forum. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email. We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.

C. Although we cannot review every messages posted, and are not responsible for the content of any of these messages, we reserve the right to delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold GAF harmless with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s).
Which is a bunch of legal boilerplate.

Also...
Note: if you are 13 or under, you are prohibited from registering.
I bet he doesn't even know why we have this.

If they're copying everything, one would expect the same ammount of awesome personalization NeoGAF has, but no it's default vBulletin with awful colors. Ugh my eyes.

...and o wait... THEY HAVE SIGNATURES! SUPERIOR BOARDS CONFIRMEDZ

We know for a fact it's not Dragona.

We've already dug into the situation, and you'd just love what we found. ;)

So when are we going to get those details? Would love to know.

Allowing signatures proves he misses the point.

Obviously they are pirating a community.

They cannot pirate a community fool! If they did it, easily the 7th Sign of the Apocalypse is Confirmed!
 
Anyone register on the board yet? Too bad Crushed is banned. Would've been great to use him as a scapegoat and watch him post more classic pics of his on NAG. :lol

Are there any actual legal ramifications that they'd be subject to? This seems like a legal gray area, both in the nature of the sites and the countries that they're based out of.
Oh, there's no legal dispute to be had here. Besides, they're in South Africa.

It is a little impolite though.

it's phpBB.. a ton of sites use it. NeoGaf hardly owns the software.. as it's free for anybody to use.

It's vbulletin, and the software is not what's being discussed here.
