I received the following question from a reader:

I have made a community based website... I often see the "accept terms" that you have to check mark to register to a forum. Will it be necessary for my forum?

And while many people put up forums and other websites with no terms or disclaimers or other legal information, this may not be the best way to protect yourself and your business. There are many legal pages you can have on a website. Not all sites need all of them, but many sites could benefit from one or two. Which ones do you use?
