What do you mean by burn the tech section to a CD?  Is there some software that can automatically pull down every page of every thread + all linked images, etc. and then transfer that to a stand-alone CD that the user can browse just the same as the forum?  If not, I guess one can pick through and extract all the posts and burn those to a CD (or a DVD, I doubt everything would fit on 700MB) but why would anyone do that when there is a fully updated copy available for free 24/7?

If someone were to want to take the Tech Section for any use, likely there would have to be repercussions as the big "we" (all of us separately) didn't authorize it.

I never would, mainly because you don't understand that we edit all of our own tech posts as new knowledge comes available, or we edit to recover past mistakes, etc.  Sometimes a better method is found and entire chunks of old tech posts hit the can as obsolete.  A frozen snapshot would lack this editing, plus it would lack the constant flow of new stuff that adds itself to each topic.
