I know that this hot discussion had ever been discuted :p, but i just wanna had the member's opinion ...


Just explain waht you choose one of thoses 2 ways ...

-> I vote definitively YES !
> because i'm a licensed member and i really don't like to see all newbies using vB as a freeware for warez all the time !

floleb7 10-30-2001 09:49 PM

yes too
we need to have better protection against piracy and don't allow people without license to see this forum is a good step

dirgotronix 10-30-2001 09:52 PM

A resounding YES!

Closing it totally for unliscenced members would make hack distribution FAR easier, if we could distribute and download full source. Like, someone could hack the crap out of a board and release it as a specialty version, etc.

That would make our lives far easier...

Piracy is for insecure people. 'nuff said.

Scott MacVicar 10-30-2001 10:03 PM

yes, i'm all for allowing us to post whole files, the only problem is that in one of the files the liscence number is contained so you couldn't post all files. I won't mention the file as i got into trouble last time for mentioning exactly where it is.

renaud_ 10-30-2001 10:17 PM

hum ...

I can see that there are alreaddy 2 'No' ...

> But 0 replies to explain ...
> I think that's unregistred memebers that don't want to be discovered ...

I will give a reason for a no :)

This is a community software, and as such needs to put forth the image that it is a community. FireFly has rigged the system here so that you cannot download if you are an unlicenced member. Im not sure what else can be done.

Just a quick fact. The final deciding factor in my choice to purchase vbulletin was seeing the cool things rangersfan (freddie) was hacking into vB. Seeing the things that could be done to change the base software to make it fit my needs, and that there were people working towards this end constantly.

floleb7 10-31-2001 02:47 AM

in fact people who use illegal vB don't see all forum but only (IMO) bugs and hacks.
However the most things that i hate it's see that you cannot known in all members of vB forum wich one has a license and wich one uses warez.
Maybe your vbstats hack is used in several warez board and maybe you help in hacks forum the WM of a warez board. But why these people have the right to have the same possibility than customers ?
