Hello Vbulletin Staff, I was currently lookin for the hide hack in google and this site popped up under one of the entries
the site is called
removed

This site has all your hacks posted for free download which i dont think is legal. They have a forum running an illegal versoin of vbulletin which and a download hacks script for users to jsut type attachment id of a hack and it auto downloads the file.

the forum site which is linked on [removed] is
removed

and the downloader script they have is
removed

They host all these files on thier server and so that made me suspicious so i am reporting this site to you in hopes of shutting it down. I dont have a vbulletin.com account for me to download on here yet but i am saving up for an account slowly but surely, and i dont want to feel ripped off and i dont want people who have payed for vb.com accoun'ts to feel ripped off

no, i didn't post an email because i rarely get any responce from people whe it comes to email so yeah. anyways vb.com has to bring urls removed down, and FOREVER! of course you can take down a site for a day or 2 but you actually got make them take it down for good. Thier forum alone i think has somethign like 1000 members, and what ive heard after doing my research is taht its only been up for like 1-2 weeks. i dont like to put up with this crap and they are robbing you of your software. If you guys dont stop it, noone will

btw, please mod's and admins dont delete or edit this post. i put the sites in code, therefore anyone without a vb liscence can't read where they themselves can pirate this software, i made it strictly so that only the people who have purchased can get mad at them :)

<font size="3">DO NOT POST SUCH LINKS HERE!</font>
Report them to the administrators and that's it.
You make it even easier to find such sites by posting their links, man.

Please do not post links to piracy sites here, even if only licensed users can see them some might leak the url's to their friends anyway. Tho if you know how to use google you can probbly find them without much effort.

We are aware of that site and I have reported it to jelsoft already in the past.

You can use this page to report piracy directly to jelsoft http://www.vbulletin.com/piracy.php Please do not use the forums for such things.

well sites like that have been around and always will be around if you report them you did your duty jelsoft cannot shutdown a website it requirers cooperation from webhosts and legal authorities but yes i agree don't post such links even to licenced vbulletin users actually if you want vbulletin you can have it but you gotta purchase a licence simpel isn't it ?

That's why the piracy e-mail exists in the first place, they want to do something about it.
