I would never spend $150.00 on an encrypted file :rolleyes: We love our database far too much :)

had to un-install because some links wouldnt work.

Links like "Find threads started by XXX"

I am now a proud owner of a vbSEO license.... it's 100% worth the money.

Enjoy your expensive license. We?re happy for you? really :) Especially if you?re not affiliated with vbSEO. However I really do think you?re celebrating a little bit early, and putting the cart before the horse, because you have NO idea what that encrypted code is really doing behind your back to your database. For all you know it could be sending them every one of your members passwords, or security information which pertains to your server, God knows what that encrypted code is really doing, but that?s something that you?ll learn, maybe the hard way. Cheers :)

I'm not sure why people are posting VBSEO posts here when this thread has nothing to do with that product.

I would think this falls under the "Self-Promotion" vb.org rules especially when some of these members are affiliates (beta-testers) of vbseo.

I'm also a bit surprised that the vbseo thread has not come under fire regarding "Rules Regarding Commercial/Paid Hacks".

I am not an affiliate of any sort, I am a paid member. This hack (vbRanking) is dead- the author doesn't reply and hasn't for months now. This thread is about a dead SEO hack/addon, and I was simply making a statement that I have since gone over.
Oh and Bubble #5, no one would be stupid enough to make a paid addon, and have it steal passwords (passwords which by the way are encrypted and can not be decrypted- atleast not to this date, or so says Vbulletin and many other websites )

I'm taking a chance, as I am a risk taker- you get no where in life, if you take no risks.... playing it safe is not living at all.

Well.. given that the affiliate program was only announced today..it's highly unlikely that any of the people who have made posts about the alternative (vBSEO) are affiliates of its program.

My post was simply to tell people of my experiences with BOTH this hack (pretty much useless, lacking support) and vBSEO (rewrites almost every URL by default, and can easily be configured to do the rest, and the support rocks.).

*edit* There is NO rule that says that discussion of alternatives to exisitng hacks is disallowed. Of that I am certain.

I think all comments concerning competition/state of related hack should be posted in some sort of thread in General Modification Discussion. Leaving all posts in a specific hack thread pertaining to only bugs, constructive critisizm and/or praise. This way this thread is less cluttered with promotion of another hack, and people's voice can still be heard. :)

Yes, it is an unfinished product.
However, it does not say anywhere that this hack is SUPPORTED.

The author simply made it available for everyone. He wanted to share his work and I think it's one HELL OF A GOOD ADDON.

i thought, that all hack released on vbulletin.or have to be supportet by its programmers.

am i wrong?
