Im starting to get tired of this vbulletin crap. They dont want us the paying users to be able to make the mosts of our boards with so many limit on how hacks can be released and what hacks cant be released. I know of a few nice hacks that cant be released here becuase they decided no. This is a hack site so all hacks should be allowed. One of the ones Im refering to is the thread lockdown hack. This has plenty of good uses within the liscense but yet it cant be released here becuase its main idea was for urls to certain sites. Im getting really tired of this crap.

The question is whether we are going to continue being tired of draconian overseers or are we going to do something about it? Lets get a new site off the ground. We have someone with a domain, another willing to host it, lets continue to see this through.

My post was on the subtopic. The main topic is regarding vBHosting. The subtopic would be about having a site not under the vbulletin.com thumb.

Like I said, I have a full dedicated FreeBSD server on a 10MB connection.. I am allowed 1000 GB's of BW per month.. I would be willing to work out an arrangement to get a site up and running.. in fact, have already had a pm to the affect of interest and an offer to help financially to offset any burden of cost.. while i know that no single person can foot the bill all the time, I have to pay for the server every month already.. so it is going nowhere.. besides.. I may find someone who knows FreeBSD inside and out and can help me manage the server itself..

it is running IPFW because of some lamers trying to knock it down from time to time.. but anymore, that's every server out there..

anyway, offer is on the table.. clearly defined..

That is sooooooo cool. You shouldn't have a problem finding someone that would want to open up a hack site.

if it comes down to it why not try to work something out with Evb that way we dont have so many splinter sites help keep things consolidated

I'll help in anyway I can as I no longer release my hacks here due to the political crap this site imposes on the licensed users of vb...

Note: If there is another site for vb hacks like vbhacks.us (or evb thats already established) I will move my hacks there...I also suggest those with large hacks have some input or mod status if they are willing to help this through...

Didn't the guy from EVB say that he'd remove hacks at Jelsoft's request? I think we need a little more spine than that.

One other question. Is there a lawyer around who can help the site owner set up the site in a way to avoid personal liability?

Could someone e-mail me thie vBHosting hack? [email removed]

Not for live use, I manage sub forums directly (I don't like handing out admin rights even over sub forums) I just wanna see whatthe fuss is about.

Thanks

I may be able to help out on this as one of my sites is a lawyers firm...let me see if they will do me a favor....I'll get back to you as quickly as possible.
