Well Nakkid,

The site I run is a free service for anyone who REGISTERS with no ads and nothing is sold just a community forum that offers potentially usefull information for FREE. There is never nothing to buy and I pay for the hosting and bandwidth out of my pocket. I pay for the software that is ran on the website and I devote endless hours to provide a FREE service to whom ever would like to use it. All I ask is for them to register. I will respect your wishes with the use of your vbArchive code however do not respect your impractical suggestion of "twisted" and "unethical" methods "to gain more users" at the cost of the poor soul who devoted much time and money simply clicking on a link and ended up on my site.

Hey ".:TRansLucent.:"

You're an idiot....and now you're the first person on my "ignore list" :)

Respectfully submitted....

yeah and your funny with such useful, constructive contributions..

I'm off this subject my point stand clear.

Don't take in a negative way, but most visitors will think like that, the way I posted earlier.
I know what you mean by free service, look at me and my hacks... hell, vbHome eat my life for a week and I did it for free.

I was speaking not directly to you, but to a person who would do this. I guarantee you most people will close the browser and never go back to your site, if you block them... I know it from my own experience with my protected forums.

Since I open the gate to everyone, I had over 200 new members in 2 weeks. Before it used to be like this scenario:
User come and visit the site, he registers and he get accepted to the restricted areas, if he displays the vbHome (lite) copyright onto his website.
Look onto those forums:

If you click on any thread, you will get a no_permission, until you register... but you still can view the thread titles. The rest of the forums are open to guests.
That is a hack I made, not released at vBulletin...

Anyway, the idea is this: is better to have your site open, trust me, people will register.
Good luck with your projects.

Overgrow, please post your mod, attached onto a .txt file so I can link it to the first post, with credit, like I did with Logician's mod.

good points, Teck.

I welcome everyone and promote the living dayligghts of out my site. I paid for it all; bandwidth, servers, software everything to the tune of over $10,000 in the past year.

In less than a year I have over 1,600 members and ten more join everyday on average. I used to call potential advertisers, now they contact me. Open forums are the best...

:)

Teck, if I have this hack installed and vblite - (how) does Googlebot retrieve 'achive'? Just that I've been crawled twice by Google and it only goes to the vanilla forums - and, yes, I have the Friendly URL link there too :(

There are millions of websites out there with billions of pages. Be patient please.
It can take up to 2 months until you get "really" indexed, because it's done step by step...

Did you read the email from Google I posted in the first post?

Yes thanks TECK I have. Yes we've been listed for months by Google, but none of the last 3 searches has found archives.

It always nice to read your condesending posts though. Makes my heart warm to you so much. I must remember to uninstall all your hacks because you really are intolerable most of the time.

Hey Banana (spelled wrong ...oh and so is condescending). Please remove all his hacks.... it will be one less bozo he has to respond so in the future so that he can gratiously support (at his largesse I remind you) us who are truly appreciative of all of his excellent work and contributions.

:)
