	Shouldnt the PM's in the database be encrypted so that people cant download the database and read them? Otherwise you might get admins dowinloading, reading etc or You might get hackers downloading and reading them! Legal issues could arise

	It would have to be a two way encryption so that they can be unecrypted so the person it is for can read it. If this is the case then a hacker can simply use the unencrypt part of the forum code to simply unencrypt and read any of the PM's. Also the same can be said of emails, anyone can read emails by simply access the SMTP server including your host.
