Yeah, it's just the nature of things. Regardless of whether or not leaks or justified, leaks are going to happen, and there's nothing anybody can do about it. It's just like the entertainment industry, who has been fighting piracy for years, and losing. After awhile, you have to wonder how long one should try pissing into the wind before you finally realize how counter-productive it is.
If there's one thing you should know about the internet, it's that the internet does not keep secrets. So if you're trying to keep something under lock and key (whether that be a message board, a song, movie, book, or whatever), and assuming other people really want access to it, you're fighting a losing battle.
Moral to this post? If you have something to say that you don't want others knowing about, don't post it online. Period, end of discussion. I would even say it's a waste of time to even have those private areas, but then... the board has to make money somehow, I suppose. I just wish the site owners would be a little more up front with people about how completely insecure these areas are, and will always be.
