dunno, just thought it'd be convient for members or atleast coders to see who is liscensed and who isnt. Alot of hacks and vBulletin itself is highly pirated via newsgroups, and p2p networks along with every single hack from 3.0.x days to 3.5.3 (last time i checked the file).


Which also means that alot of these people probably make their way here, and find the thread and ask for support?

AFAIK they can't post anywhere if they're not licensed.
Except one or two section in the "vb.org" categorie (like this one).

So it's pretty safe to says who's posting in my release threads is licensed, isn't it???
(I hope it is....)

Yes the license status is not disclosed to our members for privacy reasons.

I've always thought that a bit strange, since unlicenced members always get met with the standard message (so we know they are unlicenced), and only licenced members can post in the main forums (so we know they are licenced) - so peoples status is not really private or secret at all. :)

Unlicensed members will not get the standard message, unless they are trying to get support.

Ah, i see, I never came here unliscensed so i didnt know thats how it worked ;)

I think somewhere in the standard message it should state that if the person has general pre-sale questions (regarding modifications here at vB.org) then that he/she can go to the appropriate forum and ask there (provides link to Pre-Sales Questions forum).

I've seen non licenced members get that message in the pre sales forum ;)

Yes it sometimes happens that a Staff member is not aware of the section in which the post is made, or that people try to get support in the Pre-Sales section.

Happened to me also.

unfortunatelly we are all humans.....
