The one in charge of the hack was who broke TOS. That is why the thread was removed.

How was TOS broken?

And was this hack removed by the creator or by one of the mods?

I'm not quite sure, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the product becoming something more commercial than most were expecting.

The ultimate fate of that thread will be decided soon, at this point I've moved it to a private forum for staff review.

it was a useless thread anyway, they were only teasing people with it and still on beta 1 and not to mention only god knows when in 07 they will be releasing it.

This just gets weirder and weirder.

^ Indeed...

As a Big-Boards owner who is considering a switch to running my forums on vBulletin, I've got to admit this "moving of threads" is not having a positive influence on my decision-making.

Hopefully it returns soon, there was some good dialogue going on.

With the way things are going, I suggest those involved provide a better sense of when it will be released, so those of us who want to give it a shot can decide if we should wait or move on.
I'd much rather be told that vbspace would be released in a year, instead of holding on the the idea that it would be rolled out "some day."

I too am highly disappointed in being mislead. My community serves such a distinct group of people in las vegas only that remote profile hosting would not benefit me at all. i just wanted to beef up the profiles, member search, add a little group feature, comment system, friends list etc is that so hard to ask? I'd pay good money for a simplistic beef up of VB with features in high demand. I would have hired a private mod developer 6 months ago if I would have known this.

I do not mind the directory idea, drop the remote profile system and I'd use it.

Rather than arguing let me ask this:

What can we do to make this situation right? What can we do to make as many of you happy as possible?
