That is why, in the scenario I was considering of creating an alternative site, one of my 'rules' was that anyone caught reposting anything from the forum (with the exception of the section viewable to the public) would be banned.
In addition, many forums have a condition (posted in their Terms of Use), which states that all content posted to the forum, (which is not previously copyrighted to someone else, obviously) becomes property of the forum and may not be reproduced without permission from the site.
