vb.org Archive - Mini Mods - Hide Official Instant Messaging Program （MSN,ICQ,SKYPE...) for all

I don't know Why vBulletin? still keep this like parts of vbuletin?
MSN is gone.
How many people still use icq here now?
Many members ask me what is icq.
I know icq It was great .but really not fit my forum now.
and yahoo msn ....

I want to make only new and popular Instant Messaging Program like focebook,twitter,SKYPE.

So I make this little change . Hide Official Instant Messaging Program. It is easy , safe and work. anytime you can easily change back .

                                </ul>

                                <p class="description">

                                        {vb:rawphrase may_enter_identity_for_im}

                                </p>

                        </fieldset>

Right now I think we hide all Official Instant Messaging Program in the forum. If someone still see them somewhere please tell me . let's Completely hide them.

It is no any plugin install . but I still think it is a Mod. to "disable" some functions of vBulletin. if not please help move somewhere right place

I think it should work any vb version .

thank you anyone
