Does anyone know the outcome of the lawsuit against ScubaBoard?

Yeah, if were to answer the question asked in the title of this thread from a respectable position, I would like to sum up the answer in one word and that is "BAD".

How ironic is it that on the "scuba related court cases" section of "scubaboard"............we cant discuss the "scubaboard related court case".

It was originally in this forum. Everyone has moved on now.

Here's a pretty good synopsis of the lawsuit:

Dive Operator Sues ScubaBoard and John Does: Undercurrent 04/2010

***** ****, the owner of travel agency Maldives Scuba Diving, is suing Florida-based Internet forum ScubaBoard for $10 million. A Canadian subscriber (we’ll call him James Blake) was the first to send us word of the lawsuit -- that’s because he is the only other named person **** is suing. The other defendants are 1 to 100 John Does who wrote comments on ScubaBoard that she didn’t like.

Blake also wrote that on his trip, nine passengers were sick with nausea, headaches and upset stomachs, and he believes that it was from carbon monoxide fumes coming from the generator. “You could see and smell the exhaust rising from the back of the boat. A CO2 detector is missing from the Baani.”
So it must have been ironic to him when he saw news reports in May 2008 of one fatality and multiple illnesses due to carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty air compressor on the Baani Adventure, another Maldives liveaboard **** was in charge of. We wrote about it in our July 2008 issue.

Apparently the plaintiff's name is censored here on Scubaboard, which is sad, and a victory for frivolous legal action. Click through to that Undercurrent article.

I believe that was one of the stipulations for the case "ending" . . .

I'm sure...and a victory for frivolous lawsuits.
