I run a gay tgp that has a gay messageboard on it and I've stated from the start that this board is not moderated and you're encouraged to speak your mind.

I really don't care what they talk about and the only rule is that they're over 18. But now I log in and some of them are talking about hooking up and getting into rape fantasies.

Can I be held liable for this shit?

I mean is AOL be held liable for all the shit that goes on when their members meet each other? and AOL is moderated with employees, my site isn't.
